A little bit of country and a whole lot of luxury awaits guests of the Gaylord Opryland Resort. Located steps from the Grand Ole Opry, the Gaylord thrives with entertainment, action, and opulence in the pulse of Music City. Nashville's most sensational stay is the Gaylord and there are many reasons why guests return year after year. 

Officially the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center (due to its massive space for conventions and large meetings), this awe-inspiring getaway in Nashville features lush indoor gardens, winding rivers, and gourmet dining from grab-and-go snacks to fine dining. This hotel is suited for all types of travelers, providing unforgettable experiences for families, couples, and business folks alike. Opened in 1977 as a home for visitors of the Grand Ole Opry, the hotel expanded and evolved into one of the largest and most luxurious resorts in the United States. The Gaylord is owned by Ryman Hospitality Properties and operated by Marriott International.

The Gaylord offers accommodations ranging from cozy rooms to grand suites. Traditional guest rooms feature elegant decor, plush bedding, and modern conveniences like flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. The Atrium View Rooms offer breathtaking views of the resort's indoor gardens and waterways while the executive suites provide extra space and luxury. The Presidential Suite, the pinnacle of comfort, boasts multiple bedrooms, a lavish living room, and a private balcony overlooking the resort.

The hotel's amenities are designed to cater to every type of visitor. The resort's SoundWaves Water Experience is a state-of-the-art water park featuring indoor and outdoor pools, lazy rivers, waterslides, and an adults-only pool for serene relaxation. For foodies, the resort offers more than 15 restaurants, including the award-winning Old Hickory Steakhouse, international cuisine at Cascades American Cafe, and casual bites at Jack Daniel's Bar & Grill (with more to come in 2025). Guests can also unwind at the Relâche Spa, take a scenic Delta Riverboat Tour, or enjoy live entertainment at The Opry Backstage Grill. There are also several boutiques and specialty stores on site for souvenirs and sundries.

Beyond the resort's spectacular amenities, guests are just minutes away from some of Nashville's top attractions. Music lovers are a quick ride from Broadway (where live music is always free) and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The nearby General Jackson Showboat offers river cruises. There are plenty of festivals in Tennessee. Families can experience interactive exhibits at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum or take in the Nashville Zoo. Opryland's prime location ensures that every visitor has access to the best of Music City while enjoying a luxurious retreat at the resort.

The resort embraces seasonality and is especially popular during the holidays when both the interior and exterior turn into a winter wonderland. Dazzling displays, tempting treats, holiday shows, and festive activities all wait for guests.
