Grand Bohemian Lodge Greenville, Autograph Collection

While the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Greenville boasts beautiful design, upscale amenities, and a prime location, one significant drawback that completely detracted from our visit: the overpowering cologne scent being pumped throughout the hotel. The fragrance, which I assume is intended to create a luxurious atmosphere, is so strong that it was headache-inducing and unpleasant. The scent lingers everywhere—lobby, hallways, and restaurant —making it difficult to enjoy the otherwise serene ambiance. It felt unnecessary and over-the-top, as the hotel’s natural charm and decor can easily stand on its own without relying on such an intense olfactory assault. I hope the hotel considers toning it down or offering fragrance-free areas in the future. Until then, I hesitate to return or recommend it to anyone with scent sensitivities.

Beautiful setting on the water. Awesome service. Great restaurant. Walkable town. Great location. Best service from Kevin in the restaurant! Everyone was super helpful. We will be back again for sure. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend to anyone!

The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The rooms were nicely designed with ample space and felt very clean and new. The hotel lobby/first floor was bustling day and night with guests and locals. They had live piano music and a constant fire in the huge fireplace. Downside: limited, expensive drinks on the main floor, and someone should tell the guests PAYING to stay at the hotel that they need a reservation for breakfast! We spent a LOT of money at this hotel and couldn't even get breakfast. (none within walking distance) The three (teen? young 20?) hostesses could care less. We were sent to the front desk, then to room service, then back to the front desk (who finally compted us for our breakfast because of the hassle). It would have been easier if they just told us about making a reservation upon check in.

It’s a great hotel, no complaints at all . Because every space is open to the public you’re better off booking someplace cheaper and just coming over to enjoy the amenities. Very crowded. No benefit to actually staying there but great to visit.

Today I went to the Holiday Market just outside the hotel. You can sit on Santa's lap and put your letter in his mailbox, but my favorite part by far was the Midnight Post and the Postbox Clock booth. Illustrator and author Sarah Dean (and her husband Matthew) are very talented, sweet people. You must check out the book and pictures they are selling there.
