Hotel Domestique
Travelers Rest, South Carolina
France is a familiar place for George Hincapie — considering he competed in the Tour de France 17 times — so it only makes sense that he's the force behind Hotel Domestique, a French-inspired spot in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This 13-room property has been completely restored with contemporary furnishings while keepings its Provence-style bones, and now offers luxurious bathrooms, iPad concierge service, a two-story restaurant, a large swimming pool, a fitness studio, a library, a vineyard, and a sleek bar. Perhaps more important for cycling enthusiasts are the frequent cycling clinics and guided bike tours, which offer an ideal way to enjoy the nearby scenery — and perhaps providing a little friendly competition at the same time.
