Travelers Rest is stepping up its luxury hospitality game.
The Divine Group, a Greenville-based development group, has announced plans for The Inn at Altamont, a 150,000-square-foot, four-star hotel development on the slopes of Paris Mountain on Altamont Road, according to a news release.
This $60 million private investment in Travelers Rest marks the largest investment in the city’s history.
“The Inn at Altamont is more than just a hotel — it’s a passion project rooted in honoring what makes this area so special,” said Krut Patel, CEO of The Divine Group, in the release. “Growing up in Greenville, I remember the only ways to enjoy the views from Paris Mountain were to either scale fences and rocks at the top or have a friend with a house on the mountain. We are committed to working with the City of Travelers Rest to create a space that serves as a point of pride for the community, a retreat for visitors and a reflection of the natural beauty that surrounds it.”
The Inn at Altamont will feature 360-degree views of downtown Greenville and the Blue Ridge Mountains, according to the release. Designed to blend into its surroundings, the project has been developed to ensure views of Paris Mountain from below are preserved, the release stated.
Key features include:
With its array of amenities, The Inn at Altamont will serve as a destination for guests, a gathering place for locals and an ideal location for corporate and government retreats, the release stated.
In addition to the hotel, the project will include the development of a 20-acre public nature preserve on the property, complete with forested walking trails, picnic areas and its own dedicated access point, the release stated. This new public park will be donated to the city of Travelers Rest, along with the benefit of a voluntary fee collected from hotel guests to help fund its maintenance for a period of 10 years.

The hotel will bring 80 to 100 permanent local jobs to Travelers Rest, spanning roles in security, guest services, events and catering, marketing and management, according to the release.
A public information session will be held on Monday, Feb. 10 at the Younts Conference Center (Shaw Hall) at Furman University from 6 to 8 p.m. Members of the public are invited to meet the development team and learn more about the vision for The Inn at Altamont.
