Resorts in Greenville, SC

With some of the earliest businesses including cotton mill and textile mills, Greenville established itself as an early player in the textile industry. Today, they are major players in the world of aeronautics and automotive manufacturing. An excellent vacation destination, Greenville resorts are near a pedestrian-friendly downtown area with wide sidewalks, bike lanes, trolleys, and more. Visitors love all that there is to see and do in this beautiful Southern city.

A trip downtown wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Main Street. The central artery through Greenville is a popular spot for boutique shopping and dining as well as home to many buildings that echo to Greenville’s past. Be sure to try one of the renowned local breweries or cideries, as Greenville is home to a robust distilling industry as well as many wineries.

A stroll through one of Greenville’s seven historic districts provides a glimpse into the Greenville of yesteryear. Perhaps the most popular is the Colonel Elias Earle Historic District, which is home to two of Greenville’s oldest landmarks. Named for the man who pioneered the area, here you can see some of the best examples of Georgian Revival homes, as well as the esteemed Whitehall and Earle Towne House. The area witnessed soldiers returning from fighting in the Civil War and the Spanish American War, but it wasn’t until the end of the First World War that the district began to flourish as a neighborhood. Today, it is a snapshot of a world that, in many ways, only existed in the 1920’s. With many of these attractions within walking distance of Resort Hotels in Greenville, you’ll have plenty to see.

Not to be overlooked is a visit to Brutontown. One of the first free African American communities, the site was founded by a freedman named Benjamin Bruton in 1874. Be sure to visit the three-acre Society Burial Ground, which is the final resting place for slaves and freedmen.

If you’re an outdoorsy type, there’s plenty of fantastic hikes a short distance away from the Top Resort Hotels in Greenville. Among the most popular is the Black Mountain Tower Trailhead, which climbs more than 1,000 feet above sea level through hardwood forests before reaching an overlook at Black Mountain Tower where hikers can see beautiful views of downtown Greenville. It’s definitely worth checking out if only for this unique vantage point alone!

The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a 14-mile trail that starts at the city of Travelers Rest, where it follows the Reedy River through downtown until it reaches Reedy Falls Park. Popular for walking, biking, and running, it’s also used for horseback riding and cross-country skiing in the winter.

From there it continues along the river until you reach Falls Park on Government Street where you can visit their botanical gardens. Nearby is Lake Conestee Nature Park, a great place to get away from the city and hike, bike or walk. Acres of natural wetlands filled with diverse wildlife means it’s ideal for admiring nature from afar. Book your stay at Greenville Resort Hotels and discover all this and more.
