With our daughter at school nearby, we've stayed in about every hotel in Greenville. So when I was looking for something a little more romantic to make up for the lack of pandemic travel, I was stunned to find Hotel Domestique tucked away in the nearby hills. We were welcomed with a glass of sparking wine and showed around. Location: Beautiful views of the hills and what looked like an old vineyard. There appeared to be a small development of large homes beyond the hotel, but that didn't take away from the lovely views from our room. There's nothing else out there, so we ate dinner and breakfast here. Hotel: We loved the luxe rustic decor with modern pops of color; really fun. There's also an outdoor pool and hot tub that were open even though it was snowing. A group was using the firepit as well, and the public spaces were comfortable with plenty of seating. There's also a pantry with complimentary snacks, drinks (wine, water, soda) and snacks, as well as coffee in the morning. Room: We adored the design of the rooms - high ceilings, lovely king bed with tons of feather pillows (I think there were 6!), propane fireplace, robes, etc. The bathroom had a wonderful river stone shower which felt great on my feet, and there were two sinks/vanity areas and a separate toilet. Other details included hand sanitizer and a bedside massager that was extremely powerful! Food: The restaurant looked attractive, although we opted for room service. There's a nice bar area with limited seating due to Covid; the drinks were fantastic. Room service was prompt; we ordered duck confit and trout - both were outstanding. Breakfast (again room service) was a little less impressive. The tray was bare of butter, jam, salt/pepper or any kind of garnish. It was also cold, but not a big enough deal to send back. We look forward to returning when we can spend more time outdoors exploring the grounds and nearby hiking. This hotel is very expensive for the area - breakfast was included, but the cost of the room plus dinner would deter me from spending more than one night.

We booked an extended weekend here for our 10 year anniversary and it was spectacular! The service was so personal and friendly, and the small touches like the complimentary guest pantry made this small hotel stand out among others in its class. We splurged for the highest tier room and the mountain views were totally worth it! The on site restaurant was wonderful and servers very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu items which stood out to me as well. The location is also excellent, it's 30 minutes from Greenville which has a great downtown area for food and the beautiful falls park, and 10-20 minute drive from the many gorgeous hikes and scenery we did while we were there. I would definitely return for another relaxing, kid free getaway in the future.

This is a beautiful hotel and landscape with exceptional service and amenities. The rooms where comfortable and luxurious. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated and the views are lovely. We hired a cyclist as a guide up to Ceasar's Head and Ben was great. Also loved how the bike tech cleaned the bikes on return and the staff washes the stinky bike clothes. Restaurant 17 is quite lovely and delicious as well. Hope to return soon.
