In the 1970s, Hugh Hefner built it as The Great Gorge Playboy Club Hotel, officially opened in 1972. The Playboy Club was closed in the late 1980s and sold and turned into The Americana Hotel. Later being sold again, was turned into The Seasons Hotel. Seasons was later sold again to parent-company Metairie Corp, which turned into its current incarnation as the Legends Resort & Country Club. The Hotel has been permanently closed to public operations for many years, however the golf course is scheduled to reopen to the public in the coming year (2016).
