Southern-style luxury in Nashville's heart, next to the Grand Ole Opry
This majestic Nashville favorite is known for its extraordinary service and unique interior. Glass atriums house nine acres of lush gardens, winding rivers and rushing waterfalls in this smoke-free indoor paradise. Enjoy award-winning fare at Old Hickory Steakhouse Restaurant, housed inside the replica of an antebellum-style mansion, or unwind at Jack Daniel's Saloon, which tips its hat to Tennessee sipping whiskey. And no visit to Music City USA would be complete without a trip to the Grand Ole Opry, which is conveniently located right next door.

  • Unique interior of lush gardens, rivers and waterfalls under a smoke-free glass atrium

OVERPRICED!!!

When we arrived we found there was a $18 per day price to SELF park your car, $25 to valet. There is also a $15 hotel charge upon leaving for which you get 2 bottles of water, a newspaper and wireless internet. About $80 on a two day stay upon leaving. We got to our room and found disturbing graffiti that was mostly removed from over one of the beds. The Hotel is attached to a convention center is very large with many OVER priced bars/restuarants/shops. The hotel is broken into sections and has beautiful atriums. If you have to go to an event at the convention center, stay at Opryland. If you want to experience Nashville and save some money, stay downtown.

Beautiful hotel, too far from downtown

I liked this hotel very much. It is certainly beautiful, but it is overpriced once you add in all the fees they slam you with. Seriously--$18 per day to self park????? 20 resort fee??? What is next a camera surcharge? Housekeeping was phenomenal. Our room was cleaned to perfection. Couldn't believe how good a job they did. Glad I came here and saw it. Would not come back again.

Had a great time

We went there for the New Year Eve with the kids and the in-laws. Everybody had a great time. The weather was cold but the hotel offered plenty of activities to keep everyone busy (and happy). It also helped that the Opry Mills is next to the resort. The trip was festive but not too overwhelming. I definitely recommend it to families looking for a nice weekend getaway. The restaurants are nice but a little pricey, as expected.

amazing, gorgeous, HUGE hotel :)

A group of my friends and I got together to come to Nashville, TN for New Year's. After many hours over stressing on availibilty, location, check-in age, and price, we ended up on Gaylord Opryland Hotel's site online. We were amazed at how good of a deal it was and how smooth and easy everything went for us. The hotel is gorgeous and in exquiste luxury. I recommend it to anyone!!! They have taxis that wait outside every hour to take you to downtown Nashville and plenty of parking at the hotel once we got back. Great stay. :))

Great Hotel

Caught it accidently during a bowl game, but had great service even with the crowds. Staff was able to handle a full house of boisterous college football fans. I handled it by becoming one of them!

What happened to southern hospitality?

Went for Country Christmas which was great! The craft show was a huge disappointment. Our grade school craft show beats it by far. The cost for the resort fee was a joke. The shuttle bus drivers just passed you by and left you standing in the cold instead of picking you up. Hotel staff was the most unfriendly I have ever encountered anywhere and we have traveled extensively. The eighteen dollars a day to park in their lot was ridiculous. For that someone should at least be available to show you where to go to check in. No personal service here. Never able to locate indoor pool or jacuzzi. Food very expensive. Would have been nice to have photographers available to take family portraits. Decor was lovely. How ridiculous to charge 9.00 to ride the boat around the hotel. So many ways the whole Christmas package could have been better. Glad we did it once but with the service we received probably won't stay again. Every time we asked staff members a direction question either didn't speak English or gave some bogus directions or said "don't know". The Rockettes show was amazing and facility beautiful. Wonderful mall with great shopping. ICE was overpriced and should include more warning for the young and elderly.

Great rooms

I had stayed at Opryland two years ago and was very disappointed in the rooms. I wanted to go back and take my grandchildren because of the lights and the activities at the hotel and was thrilled when I checked in and the rooms were great! The only negative was the check in. We were in line almost two hours waiting to just get to the entrance of the hotel. The hotel did give an extra two hours for check out. The hotel was very ill prepared to handle the crowd. I would not recommed staying at this hotel during the Christmas season.

Dining tip: In Hotel

Room service was the best way to dine with small children. You only had a 30 minute wait or your meal was complimentary. Poor job on part of the hotel to handle their guest in a resonable amout of time in the hotel. The staff could not have been nicer handling alot of not happy people.
