A National Historic Landmark, The Greenbrier served as a hospital for wounded soldiers during the Civil War and World War II. In 1778, it became “America’s Resort,” first hosting wealthy Southerners, then celebrities, U.S. presidents and even royalty. You don’t have to be a guest of the luxury resort (or an A-lister) to get a glimpse of it – guided hotel tours are offered – but overnight guests enjoy upscale accommodations ranging from signature guest rooms to estate homes, a roster of activities for all ages, golf, a spa, restaurants, a casino, retail shops, seasonal events and more. Whether you splurge for an overnight stay or not, don’t miss the Bunker Tour, where you’ll discover a former emergency fallout shelter and top-secret government relocation facility for Congress from the Cold War period.
