We dined at the Willcox Hotel in a Aiken last night, it's a favorite of ours and we always look forward to dining here at least once during our visits to Aiken. Like Aiken, it is a southern gem. The property is chock full of grace and charm. She's an old property that has undergone a loving and exceptionally well... More

Willcox has old world charm, a wonderful bar and restaurant , and sits on the edge of Hitchcock Woods. This wonderful urban park is a little known gem! This is a great getaway destination! Rooms are big and comfortable. Cost is very reasonable. Highly recommend! More

This is a lovely, old hotel, restored with care and attention to detail. Dark, polished woodwork, oversized leather chairs. We had a huge bedroom/sitting room and a huge bathroom with all the amenities. Downstairs there is a large, inviting living room and a small bar with a friendly bartender. You can enjoy your drink inside or, if the weather is... More

I was headed to Myrtle Beach to golf with some friends when I heard about the Aiken golf club winning a best of public golf courses in the US award and decided to stop and play the course. When we called the club they recommended The Willcox as a place to stay. We drove up to what resembled an old... More

My husband had to be in Columbia for business and we decided to make a mini holiday of it. We found The Willcox online and thought it looked perfect. We arrived and couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel is old school gorgeous - very grand, yet warm and comfortable. The restaurant was incredible. We met the Exectutive Chef who... More

If you love history and atmosphere, you will love the Willcox. My mom and family members celebrated her 91st birthday there. We soaked up the elegant atmosphere and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. The rooms and public area let you feel as if you're back in time (but with the conveniences of modern life). And it's within walking... More

This was my 3rd time staying at the Wilcox. Sadly they are quiet during the summer months and have opened the pool to the public. It looked like a Jersey Shore spring break, as they had a volleyball tournament for the locals. A lot of smoking, pierced, tattooed locals taking up the entire pool until nightime, with no space reserved... More

We absolutely love The Willcox! We prefer a historic hotel, but we like luxuries and we like great service, and The Willcox has both. Theresa, who has met us and checked us in both times we've stayed, is attentive to every detail, and even remembers details of our last stay. Because we are members of their email list she upgraded... More

It looked both a charming hotel and pleasent restaurant but sadly we were only able to utilise the latter due to the limited time available in Aiken. Aiken itself is a wonderful town and for touring Brits,like ourselves, its a marvelous example of the best of the best of "small town" America. There appeared to be only one drawback however,its...

Great trip! Went and had a couples massage followed by a dinner at Casa Bella a block away! It was wonderful. I felt like I was staying in a relative's mansion without the relatives. Very quiet and relaxing and all of the staff were friendly. Breakfast was delicious! Would definatley recommend. More
