The Willcox Hotel

We have been multiple times for dinner and I went with a friend for her birthday for lunch. From the beginning I expect more I guess with the prestige of the Wilcox, my friend had a reservation they didn't or couldn't find it and luckily enough there were tables. We ordered drinks they were horrible j ended up having sweet tea. The food was OK it wasn't exceptional or anything that great. I like going but for the price I don't feel you get what your expect. The waiters are nice and they always seem to make a problem right. Maybe it's just sometimes things aren't as good as they could be. I will go back even if it's not always what I expect I love the fireplace and the old retro heritage of the hotel.

Drive all the way from Leah to bring my mom here. It’s a very pleasant experience you don’t get a lot of places. Got seated next to the fire. Mom had a nice ‘mimosa with no orange juice’
1 issue: all of us were still hungry after brunch. And we’re not big eaters. I haven’t ordered an appetizer in 20 years.
Tip: if you are still hungry and prefer a side of bacon when everyone else is ordering dessert, ask for no syrup.

I had been invited to the Wilcox for dinner a few days ago. Its a beautiful hotel. Everyone was friendly, the dinner was perfect. I was very impressed with our waiter, Emanuel. His presentation was very appealing. Very knowledgeable of the menu and food being served, courteous, and respectful. I couldn't commend him more. Thank you for such a pleasant experience and having Emanuel is truly an asset and compliment to your establishment. Darryl

We went there for dinner. It is such a beautiful property. It immediately feels comfortable as soon as you walk in. It smells old which we loved. It's beautifully decorated. The bar area is very nice. Easy to see why The Willcox is rated so high!

My wife and I stayed the night here after our wedding. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. We were greeted with champagne and warm smiles telling us “congratulations!”. We got checked in and they had left us a sweet surprise and card in the room. How thoughtful and generous that gesture was.

The room was wonderful. Excellent furniture and decor. Such a lovely, cozy ambiance. Is there a paint chip here or a wallpaper mark there? Yes, but that’s what makes a historic hotel like this feel unique and beautiful. The room/bathroom had everything we needed included the most comfortable bath robe I have ever worn.

The next morning we ordered breakfast and had it brought to the room. Nothing better than breakfast in bed after all. I didn’t think something as simple as breakfast could be elevated in taste so much but these chefs have found a way to do it. Even something as a simple as toast was elevated to a superior level in taste. The breakfast was delicious.

Afterwards we went downstairs for a couples massage. I have never been so relaxed in my entire life. The massage therapists here are true masters of their craft. They were so personable and explained what they would do and asked if we had any requests. It was excellent.

After the massage we sat down for lunch a a wonderful table in the corner of the lobby surrounded by large windows. The lobby is so inviting and clean. The lunch was superb and the butternut squash soup is an absolute must have. Perfect for the season/weather.

All in all, I cannot thank the Willcox staff enough for making our wedding night and next day as special as it could be. They went above and beyond repeatedly and without being asked. You truly made our wedding day that much more memorable. Thank you!

We picked this place to have our youngest wedding (~75 people) several years ago. It was perfect then as it was the other night (~25) for a private celebration.
What a great location - walking distance to DT Aiken.

A must-do when visiting Aiken, SC. Even if just for a lovely lunch/dinner or cocktails/appetizers in the beautiful lobby lounge, veranda, or poolside.

Attended a work Christmas party here. The drinks @ the open bar were delicious, the food was amazing & cooked to perfection, & overall, the staff provided great service & smiles! 2nd year here & looking forward to many more visits.

Wow what an amazing place! Easy to see why it has won so many awards. The building is a work of art with impeccably appointed rooms. The staff brings back service and luxury of a by gone Era to modern day. Do not miss this place if possible.

We have not stayed in this hotel but whenever we are anywhere near Aiken we always eat in the restaurant. It is beautiful with a lovely mellow Southern vibe. The service is excellent. The wait staff are friendly and the food is reliably very good

The Willcox staff were great to deal with. They went out of their way to make sure our daughter's wedding went off without a hitch. The food was incredible, as was the service!

Hard to find better food for dinner or Brunch anywhere else. They have excellent chefs here! Wonderful service. Rooms are clean and spacious. Pool area very nice. Sometimes parking is a problem but they do have Valet parking. Love this place! A bit pricey but we save it for special occasions.

Dined at The Wilcox. ALWAYS great food and an amazing staff. Very accommodating, which in my mind is the mark of an establishment that is confident in itself.

Special dinner here almost surpassed expectations. The steak was perfect, veggies fresh and crisp. Our server was attentive, smiling, and professional. Lovely evening in a unique atmosphere.

Had a wonderful stay at the Willcox. We we're very lucky to eat in the Restaurant. Had a fabulous meal. A little gem.

The food here is exceptional! Service as well. Never been disappointed.

Very impressive hotel. Extremely clean and comfortable. Everyone working there were professional and friendly. Once we were checked in, the host, while escorting us to our room., told us of the history of the hotel. What a wonderful touch of class. The free breakfast is in their dining room and the chef prepared only once the waitress took our order. No scooping out powdered eggs here! There are many shops and restaurants just blocks away. The area feels very safe. We walked just 5 minutes away for a great lunch at "Whiskey Ally" and then back again after dark to dine at the "Fuse". Very enjoyable walk to the restaurants and shops and back to the hotel. I highly recommend The Wilcox Hotel. We can't wait to return again in the future.

We met a friend for brunch. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious.

I had a bloody Mary that was just the right balance of alcohol and spice. We had the triple stack pancakes, shrimp and grits, avocado toast, and eggs Benedict.

I had the avocado toast, it included smoked salmon and two poached eggs, with a few arugula greens. I would definitely have it again.

The server was personable, but very professional.

I look forward to going back.
