Aiken, United States
The Willcox Hotel
Built in 1898 and operating from the same colonnaded address on Colleton Avenue, The Willcox Hotel occupies a particular place in Aiken's equestrian-era hotel tradition. The property draws comparisons to the American South's small portfolio of historically grounded grand hotels, where architecture and local social ritual matter as much as the room product. It remains the gravitational centre of Aiken's winter colony heritage.
