Today we travel to our favorite hotel and resort, The Greenbrier. The Greenbrier is Americas Resort and I think America's best resort. This is where you stay in America. The Greenbrier is located it White Sulphur Springs West Virginia. The resort sits on 6,500 scenic acres in the Allegheny Mountains. People have been making the journey to White Sulphur Springs because that waters here have been know far and wide to be healing. The Greenbrier is the place where presidents and royalty stay, being that it is the #1 hotel in America. The Greenbrier has had guests such as Davey Crockett and over 26 US Presidents! In World War II this luxury resort was turned into a hospital. When the was was over the Greenbrier hired famous American designer Dorthey Draper to renovate the grand resort and give it a bold new personality. Draper worked her magic by adding bright colors, oversized patterns and an artists touch. Every room in the Greenbrier is over the top.
There is so much to do at the Greenbrier. Make no mistake, Golf is King and this resort. The Greenbrier has 3 championship 18 hole courses, a prestigious gold academy, and courses designed by Jack Nicholas. My family is not into golf, so we sign up for the ancient sport of Falconry. We are able to get up close and personal with Big Birds of prey hawks, falcons, and owls. We learn about the different birds and the sport of Falconry. Falconry is the training of birds of prey to not hunt for themselves but to hunt for their trainer or falconer. We all got to participate. And had an opportunity to have one of the magnificent birds land on our gloved hands.
Mr. Travel Bug and his friend also signed up for the Sporting Clay Course. Their is also horseback riding, Jeep off roading, mixology and painting classes, white water rafting, mountain climbing and so much more.
I find that my favorite thing to do is relax in the Greenbrier Spa and take in the waters. This is one of the oldest spas in the country. They have been performing hydrotherapy treatments for 250 years and other spa services.
There are so many places to choose from to eat. Drapers Café, Sam Sneed's, a sushi bar, pizzeria. The hotels main dining room is jacked required for it's old school dining experience. Prime 44 is the resorts signature steak restaurant. And let me just say if you are ever lucky enough to visit the Greenbrier, their 5 onion soup and lobster mashed potatoes should not be missed.
What really sets this resort apart is the underground bunker. The Greenbrier offers tours of the bunker daily. The bunker was a US secret for over 30 years. it was a secret bunker that Congress was going to live in if DC was ever under nuclear attack. The man who owned the Greenbrier also owned the railroad. When ever anyone in government would travel by train, the government would crazy over pay for their ticket and that is how they funneled the money to build this massive underground bunker. The Bunker was discovered in the early 90's by a Cleveland man, a professor. The professor was doing research on Hiroshima and how the only thing to survive the bomb was a bank because of its giant blast door. The professor then began to research the company that made these doors able to withstand a bomb and looked up their clients. It turns out, The Greenbrier the #1 hotel in the USA, purchased 3 of these blast doors. What!!!! So now that the cat is out of the bag it is open for tours.
Come see why this is our favorite place and America's best resort and hotel. The Greenbrier truly is Americas resort.
