Had the opportunity to stay here for two weeks while doing work at the Covington paper mill back in 2006 (?) We normally do not get to stay in such nice places, but because we were using the room for a month (me for two weeks, an associate for an additional two weeks), and it was the off season, so we got a special rate. It was so wonderful that I drove back to Charleston and brought my wife back with me for her to share the experience with me. I had to work all day down the road in Covington, while she enjoyed the views. The main hall is so immense, with several fireplaces. My wife discovered afternoon tea while reading a book here. She said she felt like a Duchess, having tea and biscuits in a palace. We walked the property a bit each night. They had skiing, skating, horse back riding, shooting, carriage rides. Several dining options are available at the resort, and there are a few other places to get a bite nearby. The spa is onsite where you can 'take the waters' from the Hot Spring. I believe the pool is also fed from the spring. They had bowling, and a sports bar. They have several award winning golf courses near the property also. Still the nicest place I have ever stayed. It looks even nicer now. I believe Omni has added a few more features since we were there.
PCShogun my daughter is moving here, to continue her 90 externship of becoming a nutritionist, so we get to stay there for 1 week, to check the place out before leaving her in another state :( your comment makes me feel better, knowing she will live in a good environment is somewhat easier to cope with her leaving the nest (lol) I’m kind of jealous she gets to work in such a beautiful environment, and have fun everyday after work! 😁
This was all 5 years ago....put together by the Omni. Read the reviews from Trip Advisor and others. The place is falling down. Rooms are awfullwith carpeting that's either stained OR a trip hazard. Best description....expensively dated and unbelievably needing a complete overhall from top to bottom.
My grandaddy dug the foundation for this hotel. My Mother grew up in Hot springs, Va.

It is a beautiful place, it’s a first resort ever in 1766. What do you expect obviously the carpets going to be a bit of problems
