Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center - Hotel Areas

Hotel Areas

Unlike its sister properties, Gaylord Opryland has no universal structure layout as a result of its continued expansion. Because of this, the property can be very confusing to navigate, even for frequent visitors. Employees are even said to get lost in the hotel from time to time.

  • Magnolia - The original lobby and retail area of the hotel. Currently features "The District" and Grand Staircase, modeled after Tara from the movie Gone With the Wind.
  • Garden Conservatory - The first atrium constructed, considered by many to be the heart of the hotel. Several weddings take place in the Garden Conservatory's romantic setting each year, near the Lionhead Fountain and Crystal Gazebo.
  • Cascades - The second atrium constructed. Features the Cascades American CafĂ© as well as Wasabe (a Japanese sushi restaurant) and the hotel's largest waterfalls. Connects to the registration lobby.
  • Delta - The third and largest atrium constructed. Currently the center of activity at Gaylord Opryland. Home to the Delta River, several retail stores, a few eateries, and Gaylord Opryland's finest restaurant, the Old Hickory Steakhouse. This area of the hotel also features a connection to Opry Mills Shopping Mall. The Delta project was the main inspiration for the company's expansion into other markets.
  • Convention Center - The largest convention area in Tennessee with three main exhibit areas and five ballrooms.

Famous quotes containing the words hotel and/or areas:

    “I’ve always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals.... I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?”
    —Anne Tyler (b. 1941)

    “The ambiguous, gray areas of authority and responsibility between parents and teachers exacerbate the distrust between them. The distrust is further complicated by the fact that it is rarely articulated, but usually remains smoldering and silent.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
