Seasonal clothing and footwear
Greenville’s weather changes by season: spring and fall are mild, summer is hot and humid with afternoon storms, and winter is generally mild. Layering works best year-round.
Plan outfits around outdoor walking to Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge, plus evenings at restaurants and bars where a smart-casual look is appropriate.
- Spring/Fall: light jacket, long-sleeve shirts, jeans or chinos
- Summer: breathable t-shirts, shorts, a light rain jacket for thunderstorms
- Winter: a medium coat, sweaters, closed-toe shoes
| Activity | Suggested footwear |
|---|---|
| Downtown walking / Falls Park | Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers |
| Dining at Between the Trees or Lobby Bar | Smart-casual shoes (loafers, flats) |
| Light hikes / Swamp Rabbit Trail | Trail shoes or supportive sneakers |
What to pack for your room and in-room comfort
Rooms include a range of types — if you need a balcony or fitness alcove, check the room name when you book. The hotel offers Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, so bring chargers and a power bank.
You’ll find marble bathrooms and some suites with freestanding tubs; pack preferred toiletries and any special bath items (the property provides standard amenities).
- Pack chargers, laptop/tablet, and a travel adapter if needed
- Bring preferred toiletries and any medications; the hotel provides basic bathroom amenities

Packing for dining, bars and dress code
Between the Trees follows a smart-casual dress code; Spirit & Bower is casual; Lobby Bar is suitable for slightly dressier attire. Bring one smart outfit if you plan a nicer dinner or a cocktail night.
Between the Trees serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; if you plan to use room service, note room service runs from early morning to late evening.
- Smart-casual: collared shirts, blouses, dark jeans or slacks, casual dresses
- Casual for Spirit & Bower: neat shorts or jeans and comfortable tops
- Consider an evening layer (jacket or shawl) — downtown can be breezy near the river

The Spa at Grand Bohemian (listed on some pages as Poseidon Spa) is open daily 9:00 AM–7:00 PM and takes appointments; bring swim-free items since the property has no pool. Pack whatever you prefer for treatments (e.g., hair ties, flip-flops) and a change of clothes for post-treatment comfort.
A 24-hour fitness center includes treadmills, bikes, a Peloton and free weights. If you prefer, pack your own workout clothes, training shoes, and small items like a sweat towel or resistance bands.
- Workout: athletic clothes, sneakers, reusable water bottle
