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.
