South's finest hospitality awaits you at The Willcox.
Walk the shady, oak-vaulted streets past clapboard cottages and rambling
mansions, and you'll come upon The Willcox. An old-fashioned Southern
hotel, a grand white-pillared glory. As lovely and genteel as a rose
on a lapel.
Every winter, the well-heeled of the Guilded Age came to Aiken seeking
horse racing, fox hunting, and high society. The Willcox was the
most stately of the hotels that sprang up to serve them. FDR would
ride his private train car to the back door and slip in quietly.
