The Willcox

$$$ | 100 Colleton Ave. SW, Aiken, SC, 29801, USA Fodor's Choice

Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Astors have slept at this 19th-century inn, where luxurious facilities—including a spa, restaurant, and a lovely outdoor pool—and authentic Southern hospitality come together to make an outstanding getaway. Massive stone fireplaces, rosewood trim, heart-pine floors, and antiques grace the grand lobby. Guest rooms and suites contain upscale furniture with classic lines, like the sleek, dark-stain, four-poster beds dressed with down pillows and comforters. Choose to soak in the extra-deep tub or relax beside your fireplace. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate guests.
