The Hotel Hartness is the Greenville, South Carolina region’s newest premier boutique hotel. Located on the existing Hartness Living Development and building off the prominent Hartness family’s decades-long history in the area, the hotel sits on 400 acres of rolling meadows, lakes, trails, and pecan groves. The hotel’s design concept relates directly to this idyllic setting, incorporating nods to nature and the environment throughout. Each of the many spaces within explore how light, textures, local woods, and foliage can provide a space with depth and meaning, as well as how this changes at different points throughout the day.
Overall, the design team created an engaging and delightful space for guests and the local community to come together and create long lasting memories. Building off of the rich history of local charity, community, and friendship that is synonymous with the Hartness family name, the Hotel Hartness blends the location’s past with a modern spirit. Offering 73 luxurious suites, a conference center and ballroom, a waterside restaurant, and a world-class luxury spa, the Hotel Hartness is one of South Carolina’s most sought-after hospitality destinations.
