Today is National Hotel Employee Day, and we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate the people who give The Willcox its heart.

Our managers play an important role in bringing our standards of hospitality to life each day, leading their teams with care and making sure the many details that define a stay at The Willcox come together seamlessly. But this recognition belongs to our entire team—from the familiar faces our guests know by name to the many people working behind the scenes.

Hospitality is never the work of one person. It is built by a team of people who take pride in what they do and care deeply about the experience they create.

To everyone who has poured their time and talent into The Willcox, thank you. We’re incredibly grateful to work alongside you and have you on our team.

The sound of Aiken is unmistakable: hooves on the bridle path, a call from the polo field, horses moving through a town built around them.

This year, Southern Living’s South’s Best survey is asking readers to write in the places they genuinely consider among the best in the South, rather than choosing from a list.

We’d be honored if The Willcox came to mind for Best Hotel Restaurant and Best Hotel Bar.

For more than 125 years, we’ve had the privilege of being part of Aiken. It means a great deal to us to be part of the places our community knows, enjoys, and recommends.
