Location, Location, Location!
The Inn at Altamont will cover an impressive 150,000 square feet and is nestled on the north shoulder of beautiful Paris Mountain, conveniently located off Altamont Road. This means stunning views and the perfect backdrop for any getaway, wedding, or special occasion!
What Can Guests Expect?
So, what’s in store for visitors? The hotel is designed to feature approximately 150 luxurious guest rooms, with average nightly rates around $275. Sounds pretty plush, right? But that’s not all; guests can look forward to a whole array of top-notch amenities!
Wanna relax? The Inn will have a resort-style pool and spa to unwind after a long day of exploring. Feeling a little hungry? There will be room service and a rooftop farm-to-table restaurant and bar that is bound to impress even the pickiest foodies. For those special occasions, the hotel will also feature a banquet hall that can host up to 750 guests and a spacious 2,000-capacity event lawn—perfect for weddings and other gatherings.
Making a Lasting Impact
The Divine Group, backed by their CEO’s vision, is excited about leaving a legacy that gives back to the vibrant Greenville community. This project won’t just enrich Travelers Rest; part of the development includes donating a 20-acre parcel of land to the city for public park use, complete with walking and biking trails.
Ticking Off the Timeline
As plans begin to take shape, the architecture is being designed by the talented DLW Architects from Florida, while Arbor Land Design from Greenville will handle the land planning and site design. The developer is aiming to finalize the annexation and zoning requests by June 2025. A formal development agreement is expected to be submitted by March 2025 to kick things into gear!
A Community of Benefits
Local residents and students from nearby Furman University will also enjoy goodies in the way of discounts on food, beverages, and spa amenities at the hotel. Plus, a 2% voluntary fee will be tacked on to hotel accommodations to help fund public park infrastructure and improvements. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Looking Ahead
With the Greenville market’s hotel-room demand expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.1%, the Inn at Altamont is strategically positioned to attract luxury travelers and potentially bolster the local economy. Offering community engagement opportunities, there will be a public information session on February 10 at Furman University, where locals can learn more about this exciting venture.
After the proposal gets through the necessary public hearing as per Travelers Rest’s zoning ordinance, and construction begins, the Inn at Altamont is set to open its doors sometime in 2030. So mark your calendars, Travelers Rest; this luxurious getaway is just around the corner, and you won’t want to miss out!
