Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

Reviews

Beautiful, grand, atrium-style hotel with gardens, fountains, restaurants, and shops greeting you upon entry. This place is massive, but great for families and offers a nice serene way to wake up, by walking through the green spaces in search of food or coffee. Kids have plenty of space to run around and be entertained, which is wonderful if you are traveling and they need to get dome energy out first. My kids particularly love the music synchronized fountains. The rooms are small but very clean and the beds are comfortable. Rooms are quiet other than you can hear the doors slamming shut from the rooms around yours. Soft close doors would be a vast improvement to the sleeping quarters. I highly recommend a room with a balcony, if it is in your budget, as it offers the serenity of sitting and gazing over a small, beautifully landscaped, little village, which is not something you can experience at most hotels. The service is good, not amazing, 4 out of 5 stars. The holiday decorations and lights interwoven with the gardens and fountains are stunning. My family loves to stay here when we are in the Nashville area at Christmas time, to really feel the magic and beauty of the season. The cost is on the higher side, but fairly priced considering you are also paying for an experience and the convenience of proximity to food, shopping, and entertainment. Unfortunately, there is not a lot to do surrounding the hotel, but Nashville is a relatively quick city to get around and you are roughly 15 minutes from downtown.
