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:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
