Description:
Rose Hill is the first property in Aiken listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is the most originally intact former Winter Colony estate. The harmony of history, architecture, space and gardens at the heart of the Old Aiken historic district is one of the Southeasts natural wonders. Beauty abounds beneath a cathedral of trees towering over acres of gardens secluded behind a privacy wall. Built in 1900, the estate prospers beyond its 100th year as a quintessential expression of old Aiken gardens and Gilded Age architecture. An easy two-block walk separates the charming peacefulness at Rose Hill from the busy downtown Main Street. Discover a home away from home for visitors and locals alike and incredible catering for all occasions.
The historical feel, positive energy, impressive gardens and numerous event locations together provide guests a personal Aiken experience. Uniqueness and genuine hospitality recommend Rose Hill as a favorite destination and the ideal setting for accommodations, personal events (such as birthdays, weddings & reunions), cocktail parties, business meetings and corporate dinners. The enchanting old world chapel seats 60 and is adorned with a mural sized German-Romantic painting, wood beamed rafters and medieval-styled leaded windows. The Main House has available seven bedrooms and two suites for overnight accommodations. For many years the 10,000 sq.ft. Shingle-Style Dutch Colonial was the restful retreat for diplomats, scholars, financiers and captains of industry. Now you can relax overnight in comfort, walk the gardens at leisure, unwind in the Sheffield bar & clubroom and be spoiled with a lavish breakfast in the same congenial ambience of a bygone era.
Rose Hill is simply just wonderful for all reunions of friends and family, and the convenient location provides the perfect place to start an exploration of the charming downtown and surrounding areas. Come..make merry and enjoy the delightfulness every Thursday and Friday. The Sheffield bar & clubroom is open at 4:00pm and fine dining begins at 5:30pm.
