We are very proud to share that our sister property, The Greystone Inn, has been invited to join us in the exclusive Southern Living Hotel Collection. It is an honor that has been bestowed upon only 25 hotels across the South and we are truly pleased to welcome The Greystone Inn into this prestigious group.
What is the Southern Living Hotel Collection? This collection of hotels have all been rigorously vetted by the most discerning eyes in the hotel industry. Each of the invited properties must provide a memorable experience through impeccable service, outstanding cuisine, high quality facilities, and the finest amenities. Here at The Willcox, we are delighted to provide each of these things to every guest that walks through our front doors and into our lobby. Whether a guest chooses to meet a friend here for lunch, enjoy a day in the spa, or spend a weekend relaxing in our luxurious guest rooms, we know they’ll find nothing but the best while they are with us.
As an added bonus, these properties often have breathtaking natural surroundings nearby. While The Greystone Inn has Lake Toxaway and the Blue Ridge Mountains, we have the quiet beauty of our historic downtown Aiken. Take a stroll through Hopeland Gardens and admire the gorgeous flowers. Plan a walk or a horseback ride through Hitchcock Woods, one of the largest urban forests in the nation. Or simply wander through downtown Aiken—you’ll find beautifully restored historic buildings, gorgeous old oak trees, and some of the most picturesque streets in all of the South.
It was our honor to have been included in the inaugural group of 12 hotels to be invited to join the Southern Living Hotel Collection. Since joining the collection, we have hosted numerous Southern Living events such as our Cooking Class with Rebecca Lang and our Wreath Making Class with Carmen Johnston. In addition, we are exceptionally proud of the fact that we have the only official Southern Living certified wedding planner right here at The Willcox.
Come and visit The Willcox and see for yourself why we are among the 25 distinguished hotel properties to have been included in the Southern Living Hotel Collection. We have four Southern Living hotel packages that you can choose to book for your stay: the Southern Living Wedding, the Southern Living Home, the Southern Living Garden, and the Southern Living Food. Whether you’re a newly engaged couple looking for a relaxing visit to begin planning your wedding with our Southern Living wedding coordinator or someone who loves Southern architecture and interior design, we have a package perfect for your stay.
We believe that employees are our most important resource and our success depends upon creating and retaining a staff capable of delivering an exceptional experience to every customer, every time.
