The greenbrier has earned the AAA five-diamond award every year since the inception of the award. The Andrew Harper hideaway report named the greenbrier the "resort of the century" in 1999. Guest accommodations range from luxurious rooms and suites in the main building to cottages and estate houses. Golf at the greenbrier is legendary, where Sam Snead is the resort's golf professional emeritus. The greenbrier course is the only resort course to have hosted both the International Ryder Cup matches (1979) and the Solheim Cup matches (1994).

This historic property has played a role in much of America?s history, from the Civil War to World War II to the Cold War. The resort employs over 1800 and is known for world-class service and southern hospitality.
