Beautiful property with exceptional service. Chelsea was fantastic at check-on, getting the room requested. So many things to do here. Live music, a wide range of restaurants from casual to pricey. Lots of walking and very spread out so decide what you want to be near. Atrium views with balcony are worth it! We requested a room near the live music. There are quieter areas as well. If you are there for a conference you may want to stay closer to conference hall. Would definitely stay here again!

The last time I visited it was for a weeklong convention with Sherwin-Williams back in 1988. Other than meetings and award presentations, we only got to see The Mandrell Sisters at The Grand Ole Opry. This time we drove over from our timeshare a half mile away, and parked in a lot that had a broken exit gate so we avoided the $35 parking fee. I was already having a good time. We went in to the convention center, worked our way around the multiple atriums, found the waterpark and the arcade and visited Pisano's Restaurant and Carvel's sundae shop for dessert. We phoned home for the third time during our mid afternoon visit. There were lots of families excitedly discovering the amenities, and riding the boat through the river paths. I was intrigued by the fact that they used water from 1700 different sources to fill the waterway for it's installation way back when. The plaques explain which ones were used in each state, so it was fun finding our waterways from back home. I had to drag Jaclyn away so we could make our show at the Ryman Auditorium.

The Conservatory there is so beautiful, so meticulously maintained, and so amazing in its diversity, l would go, just to see that. But also the hotel has cute restaurants, ice cream places, sit down spots for a drink, and walking paths with benches where you can stop and really meditate on the beauty. Then, there’s this river! With boats on it! And yes, it cost us $32 to park, but it was well worth this money.

Absolutely beautiful resort. We stayed here for 4 nights and loved every minute of our stay. We were lucky enough to have good weather so we could use the outdoor pool. The only comment I would make about this is the sign that insists you shower before entering the pool but there aren't actually any showers in the pool area which is a bit odd. Food on the complex is very expensive but we couldn't resist a breakfast from Cinabon. Our server was adorable and the buns and frozen lemonade were delicious but very overpriced. Most food venues on the complex close at 10pm so after getting back from a late excursion I managed to grab a chicken ceasar wrap but at 14 dollars it was a really expensive snack. The complex itself is absolutely stunning with beautifully maintained gardens. The Halloween decorations were fantastic especially the witches flying around the ceiling. We did the boat trip which was really silly and quite expensive but if you're young at heart or have kids with you is well worth dojng as we thoroughly enjoyed it. Beware you will be charged 25 dollars a night resort fee for staying here but the rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean and the resort is in a great location as it's about a 15 minute drive from downtown Nashville and the airport and a 10 minute walk to the Grand ole Opry. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

You can get lost in this place fast … you have to download their map just to figure out how to find your way. It’s a beautiful place that was slightly decorated for Halloween. The last time we were there was 25 yrs ago, so we enjoyed the garden. You will see lots of people staring at their phones as they try to navigate this multi-level garden/restaurant area.

Beautiful, amazing, unique hotel. It is huge and we spent a lot of time just exploring. The indoor water park was fun. (They closed the outside water park early the day we went....disappointing but still had fun.) Make sure to go to the water show and ride the boat on the indoor river!

This hotel sits on the largest hotel footprint in the world (over 40 acres). Inside the perimeter of the hotel rooms (which number nearly 3000) are 9 acres of exquisite gardens covered by a glass roof over 50 feet high. In these 9 acres are fountains, ponds, waterfalls, trees, bushes and flower gardens that are an absolute garden of Eden. There is even a lagoon where you can take a guided boat ride for 15 minutes in the "Delta" section of the gardens. A must-see visit while in Nashville ... great place to have lunch or dinner while sitting in the middle of the lush gardens. mike

We toured the Gaylord Resort Garden on a Thursday morning and were very impressed! The indoor gardens are as advertised and include several waterfalls and many unique and beautiful arrangements. We are going back when we have kore time.

The indoor gardens decorated for Christmas was absolutely stunning. We also took the Christmas outdoor horse-drawn carriage ride that was amazing. Our driver was friendly and the music and lights were wonderful. There were even old time carolers outside singing as we ended our ride. I would highly recommend this. The only negative thing about the Gaylord was the price of parking. We didn’t expect to pay $35-40 just to park.

If you are out at the Ole Opry you must go here. The gardens are lush and cheerful. The waterfalls are awesome. The fountains with their light and music shows are cool to watch. The boat trip is good fun, pricey but honestly worth it. There are tons of restaurants and shops. A good time for all.
