The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier is America's most historically storied grand resort, an 11,000-acre property in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia that has operated continuously since 1778, served as a retreat for every U.S. president since James Monroe, housed a top-secret Cold War nuclear bunker for Congress beneath the resort's West Virginia Wing, and maintained its position as one of the most decorated and comprehensively amenitized resort destinations in the country with Forbes Five-Star service, PGA Tour golf, an award-winning casino, and a Dorothy Draper-designed interior that is among the most celebrated and boldly conceived in American hotel history. The bunker tours are themselves a program experience of extraordinary historical and novelty value that participants discuss for years, and the combination of the resort's scale, its golf, its history, and the sheer drama of its setting in the Greenbrier Valley gives groups a completeness of destination experience that only The Broadmoor rivals among American grand resorts. For planners booking flagship programs at a grand resort whose historical significance, design character, and self-contained amenity breadth are without peer east of the Mississippi, The Greenbrier is the most complete and historically extraordinary answer in the Eastern United States. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville and The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
