People return to the Greenbrier Valley year after year for vacations or for meetings and events, says Valerie Pritt, director of public relations for Experience Greenbrier Valley. “They enjoy the peaceful backdrop of the valley while having plenty of activities to be entertained but not overwhelmed,” she says. “Lewisburg is home to one of four Carnegie Halls in use and West Virginia’s professional theatre, Greenbrier Valley Theatre. It’s a haven for the arts. The Greenbrier has been inviting guests to White Sulphur Springs for centuries. The people here are rooted in hospitality. They make sure our visitors feel welcome and like they are a part of our community.”
There are approximately 1,400 guest rooms in Greenbrier Valley, including 721 at The Greenbrier, a world-class resort and National Historic Landmark dating to the late 1700s. The 11,000-acre resort has more than 200,000 square feet of event space, including 40 breakout rooms, a 16,500-square-foot exhibit hall, and a ballroom seating 1,600 guests theater style or 2,000 for receptions. Other unique spaces include lodges, patios, terraces, a culinary arts center, and a park setting. Resort amenities include a full-service spa, golf, fishing, biking, horseback riding, croquet, an aerial adventure course, a climbing tower, geocaching, yoga, and casino games. The Greenbrier is just 15 minutes from Greenbrier Valley Airport (LWB).
Additional lodging includes Schoolhouse Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, a boutique inn with 30 guest rooms, a rooftop bar, a 118-seat restaurant, and a ballroom that can accommodate 300 guests; Historic General Lewis Inn in Lewisburg, with 24 guest rooms and indoor and outdoor gathering spaces; and Fairfield Inn & Suites Lewisburg, with a 1,050-square-foot event room.
A new excursion option is a trip with goats down the Greenbrier River Trail, Pritt says. “Aaron and his three Alpine pack goats lead you on an excursion to explore the trail as a morning hike or multi-day trek.”
