Over a hundred years ago, a tradition of generous hospitality was started at the summer estate of Earl W. Oglebay in Wheeling, West Virginia. Today, Oglebay Resort and Conference Center offers 1,700 acres of year-round recreational opportunities and excellent overnight accommodations but has retained its picturesque natural beauty. For generations, families, groups and individuals have indulged in the tradition and spirit that make Oglebay unique.

Situated on a hilltop in the heart of Oglebay is the 271-room Wilson Lodge, featuring 59 new premium rooms and 212 completely remodeled rooms. The new 5,000 sq. ft. West Spa was completed in 2008, offering the finest in relaxing and therapeutic services. Additional amenities at the lodge include casual and fine dining, an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and wireless Internet.

For groups and larger families, Oglebay has 54 cottages, including four estate houses, and three new 8-bedroom premium cottages were completed in 2008.

Groups of ten to four hundred are easily accommodated in Wilson Lodge's modern conference facilities. Dining options range from cookouts to banquets, to gourmet meals . . . all served in one of the beautiful dining rooms or one of the exceptional banquet rooms. Special themed events can also be catered at unique locations throughout the resort.
