The South's Grand Resorts

The grande dames of Southern stays, from Greenbrier to Grove Park, are once again au courant thanks to fresh, new makeovers. Here's what sets them apart and why they're worth a return trip.

The Greenbrier Resort, 1952

Since it's establishment in 1778, twenty-six Presidents have visited, plus the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (for whom the new club is named) and Princess Grace of Monaco. In 2010, actress and West Virginian Jennifer Garner attended the grand opening of the Casino Club with her husband, Ben Affleck.
