Anniversary Stay
Our son gave us a gift card and we decided to spend our anniversary at the Willcox. We stayed in a premium room which was very large and included lots of windows for natural light. The bathroom was equally large and included a soaker tub. The room includes a small refrigerator and even a sewing kit.
However, there were a few drawbacks to our room. It was located on the front directly above the valet and entrance so we could easily hear people talking. Also, the front is lit up at night which meant our room was very bright even with the thick curtains pulled. Our first morning we were awakened before 8 by a leaf blower and the next morning by a loud work truck. Perhaps earplugs and sleep masks should be included for this room.
My husband added on the bath enhancement that included champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Those were delicious. The bath didn’t look like the advertised picture. It was supposed to include 2 rose scented towels that we never found. It just didn’t relax me as I had hoped. Keep in mind people were taking outside which just made for a weird experience. We might return and ask for a room in another area.

Stephanie the best server at The Wilcox
Hi we visited The Wilcox because my family lives here in Aiken. Wr had a lovely time visiting. The historical hotel was charming.
We had Christmas Eve dinner here and Stephanie from Italy was the most amazing server. She accommodated us and made us feel welcome and at home. She was amazing!! Made our dinner special.
We will definitely visit The Wilcox again.

Southern Charmer
The Wilcox continues to level up with new services like high tea and brunch on Saturdays. This was our second overnight visit, so we booked the private couples spa and dinner package. We enjoyed supreme service in a very private setting. Great care has been given to improve landscaping and extend seating on their gracious southern porch. The garden style pool is sporting new furniture, making for a peaceful oasis to enjoy our iced coffees in the afternoon. We were very spoiled in the Whitney Suite on the 3rd floor, with 2 working gas fireplaces. The staff is attentive and anticipates guests needs. Highly recommend for restful getaway, "Quiet the Mind, and the soul will speak."

Perfect Night in Aiken
My husband and I needed to travel to the Aiken area this fall for work. We typically stay in the larger chain hotels, but saw The Willcox in my TripAdvisor search for the area. I’m SO glad we decided to stay!
The hotel staff of The Willcox is amazing! They were so helpful and made our stay memorable. From the special bath add-on with camomile tea, candles and lavender, nightly turn down service and the most amazing meal at the hotel restaurant, it was all perfect. We have already booked another night at The Willcox when we return to the area.
