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:

    “The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
    —Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)

    “In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
