    I spent 9 days there in the late 90s. Incredible. To Bob Conte, historian, thank you for all.

    Fondest memory of flying in on his private airplane and us enjoying the Greenbrier- the fabulous restaurants, gambling (we won too 😊) and the wonderful shopping with my Mr. McKinney.

    Wow, thanks. Great video. First time seeing the Duke and Duchess dancing to a waltz! Wonder whose guests they were, since they never paid their own hotel bills.

    My family’s experience was outstanding. First with our two sons in 1988 and again with our son Hunter and his family during a Thanksgiving Holiday. The Christmas Decorations, Suites and Service outstanding. A magical weekend in many ways… Auburn beat Alabama!!! War Eagle🦅🦅🦅

    A man who used to walk his dog (Andy) around my neighborhood back in the 1980's told me he was going to the Greenbrier for the weekend. The next week when I saw him I asked, "How was the Greenbrier and he said Andy liked it so much that they would be going back".

    Little did the storied guests know that just a dozen years later this famed hotel would house a secret underground bunker intended to house the U.S. government in the event of a nuclear war!

      Just the congress. There were numerous other "bunkers" to house various other parts of the government.
