Greenbriar tops luxury resorts
The Greenbrier in West Virginia was named the top US resort hotel, according to Andrew Harpers Hideaway Report.
The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in Hawaii was second, followed by:
The Four Seasons, Hualalai, Hawaii; Auberge du Soleil, California; Blackberry Farm in Tennessee; Post Ranch Inn in California; Twin Farms in Vermont: Ritz-Carlton, Naples, Florida; Rancho Valencia, California; and The Boulders in California.
The Greenbrier, set in a remote valley five hours’ drive from Washington, DC, calls itself a playground for foreign princes and America’s politicians. Twenty-three US presidents have stayed there.
Dinners are six courses. The most elaborate are set with 24-karat-gold vermeil and served by waiters in forest green livery. A fleet of bottle-green stretch limos idles in front of the resort’s columned portico.
Spread over 6,500 manicured acres, complete with golf courses, skeet shooting, spas and a stream stocked with rainbow trout, the Greenbrier has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
The advertising-free Andrew Harpers Hideaway Report has been anonymously rating luxury hotels and resorts for 25 years.
