101 Main Street West · White Sulphur Springs, WV

Why you should go…

The Greenbrier is a resort on 11,000 acres in the Allegheny Mountains, styled for decades by Dorothy Draper and Company in bold colors and florals. Guests can play golf, visit the spa and casino, or try falconry, horseback riding, fishing and off-road driving. Beneath the hotel is a bunker built from 1959 to 1962 as a secret shelter for Congress, decommissioned after a 1992 newspaper report revealed it. Part of it is now open on guided bunker tours.

Good to know

General stay guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Rates swing with the calendar

    Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.

  • Read what is included

    Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.

  • Ask at booking, not at the desk

    Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.

  • On a short trip, location wins

    What you can reach on foot from the door matters more than the amenities list.
