Elite Traveler Spring 2024

From the Great Hall, to all 483 guest rooms and the iconic bathhouses at the Warm Springs Pools, this timeless spot has been reborn

The headline act, the historic Warm Springs Pools, remain a major draw, ticking the box in all fi vepillars while allowing visitors to truly experience history. Abundant nutrients like calcium and magnesium provide natural health bene fi ts, while the warm water relaxes sore muscles, and a trip to the pools brings a noticeable feeling of serenity. It’s not all re fl ective relaxation though — there’s opportunity for physical wellness in spades. Two 18-hole golf courses span the resort; those looking to get the heart racing can spend the afternoon

horseback riding, riding the ziplines, or skiing and ice skating (in the winter). Or, if a slower pace is needed, visitors can enjoy the Virginia Wine Experience, daily history tours or the chance to have a chat with on-site naturalist Brian La Fountain. Over the last quarter of a millennium, The Omni Homestead has earned its reputation with a wellness o ff ering that ticks all the boxes; with this refurbishment it looks set to continue excelling for the next 250 years. theomnihomestead.com
