THE BUNKER

T he former U.S. Government Relocation Facility was a top secret of the Cold War designed to accommodate

both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in the event of a national emergency. Planned by the Eisenhower Administration, in cooperation with the leadership of the U.S. Congress, the facility was built under The Greenbrier between 1958 and 1961. Once completed, a small cadre of government employees working as Forsythe Associates maintained it in a state of constant readiness. During the life of the facility, continual updating of communications and other equipment and recycling of supplies ensured that the facility was always in a current full-operation status. The secrecy of its location, paramount to the facility’s effectiveness, was maintained for more than 30 years until May 31, 1992, when The Washington Post published a story effectively exposing it. The day after the story appeared, the facility began to be phased out, a procedure that was finalized in July 1995 with the termination of the lease agreement between the U.S. Government and The Greenbrier. During the phase-out period, almost all of the equipment and furnishing were removed from the shelter and reassigned to government facilities around the country.

T he former U.S. Government Relocation Facility is a protected substructure (bunker) buried 720 feet into

the hillside under the West Virginia Wing of the hotel. It is surrounded by ceilings and walls that are three to five feet thick reinforced concrete. In addition, there is a 20 to 60 foot dirt cover between the substructure and the West Virginia Wing. The facility has three entrances, each protected by a large steel and concrete door designed to withstand a modest nuclear blast approximately 15-30 miles away, and to prevent radioactive fallout from entering the facility. Both the West and East (Exhibit Hall) Entrances are vehicular tunnels into the facility; a third entrance is through the Exhibit Hall Foyer. Included in the facility are 44 separate locations with 153 rooms making up a total of 112,544 feet on two levels.

SPA CARE

F or more than 235 years, visitors have traveled to the mountains to “take the

waters” and enjoy the healing powers of the natural minerals found in The Greenbrier’s unique sulphur spring waters. Although The Greenbrier began as a spa, the original black and white facilities of yesterday bear little resemblance to the ornate and luxurious facilities of today.

The Greenbrier hosts one of the finest spas in the world. Focusing on hydrotherapy and the natural essences and minerals found in our waters, our health and beauty experts pamper our guests with a variety of mud baths, facial treatments, and “make me beautiful” body therapies. For our gentlemen of distinction, our spa offers a relaxing alternative after a day on the golf course.

The Greenbrier’s MedSpa offers a variety of cosmetic surgery and MedSpa services led by board-certified Dr. Michael S. Kluska. Dr. Kluska believes every individual is a unique work of art and his focus is enhancing one’s already existing natural beauty through medically sound procedures. The goal is to help each and every patient achieve a natural look reflective of their own distinct inner beauty.

The Greenbrier beauty experience continues at Perfect Image, which carries La Prairie and Trish McEvoy cosmetic and skin care products and Chanel, Franché and Creed fragrances. Salon Vivace offers ladies a simple comb-out, a cut, or a re-styling, as well as manicures and pedicures, all while seated under a sapphire crystal chandelier.

All the tradition, glamour and elegance of our world-renowned mineral spa await health and beauty enthusiasts at The Greenbrier!
