Hotel Areas
Gaylord Palms is built around a 4.6-acre (19,000 m2) glass-covered atrium, divided into four areas, each with their own activities and guest rooms.
- St. Augustine has an old-world colonial Spanish theme based on North America's oldest existing permanent settlement. Among its features are a wedding gazebo, a replica of the Castillo de San Marcos (North America's oldest fort), an alligator exhibit featuring animals from the Gatorland theme park, and a display with treasures from the Spanish galleon Our Lady of Atocha, sunk off the Florida coast in 1622.
- Key West is inspired by Mallory Square, the central area of the major Florida Keys port city. It has a 65-foot (20 m)-long sailboat, which is designed around a seafood restaurant called Sunset Sams.
- The Everglades is themed on the river of grass. In addition to Gaylord Hotels' signature restaurant, Old Hickory Steakhouse, The Everglades boasts an award-winning 20,000-ft² (about 2,000 m²) Relache Spa.
- Emerald Bay is dubbed a "hotel within a hotel," as it has 15,344 sq ft (1,425.5 m2) of dedicated meeting space and the most luxurious accommodations in the resort, with 26 luxury suites. Several shops and boutiques can be found on the ground floor of this locale.

Famous quotes containing the words hotel and/or areas:
“They all see you when you least suspect.
Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
or at the oven gassing the cat
or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
