Sprawling across 6,500 magnificent Allegheny Mountain acres, the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, maintains its reputation as one of America’s grandest hotels. Inherent in its lofty persona is the voice of Dorothy Draper, the flamboyant designer whose creative genius generated the resort’s zesty and floral-festooned look for more than 40 years.
