 | Gaylord Opryland Hotel: The Biggest Hotel I've Ever Seen!

The Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Conference Center is easily the biggest hotel I've ever seen. Saying that it's huge doesn't really describe it. What does kind of help you get an understanding for how big it is is that its property encompasses 35 acres of land. Yep 35. It's even big on a Vegas scale. You can get hopelessly lost in there if your not careful--and I mean lost, not disoriented.
In addition to being really big the Opryland also encompases a huge atrium-like structure full of acres and acres of tropical plants and man-made rivers and waterfalls. There are walkways and bridges and overhangs all over the place. Did I mention that the rivers are also full of fish and that you can take a boat ride? There is even a bar that rotates right smack dab in the middle of all of it. All of this gives the place sort of a Disney Theme Park feeling to it: nice to look at, but fake. Really fake.
There are also within the Opryland several places to eat and shop. You can pretty much get whatever you might want or need there, even if it is much more expensive than what you would pay someplace else.
The Opryland, for all its wonder in its public spaces, has pretty run-of-the-mill guest rooms. Their standard rooms are just, well, standard, and look no different, better, or worse than what you would find in a Marriott or any other decent hotel. They aren't very spacious or fancy or anything else that you might expect to get for the $150 - $300 per night that they charge. (The suites can run you up to $3500 per night!) Their most expensive rooms have balconies overlooking the man-made jungle, which I suppose looks nice, but I have a feeling that these rooms are less than quiet given that the hotel sponsors frequent conferences, dinners, and musical events out in its atrium.
Also note that although this place has acres and acres of parking, they are still going to charge you $12 a day to park your car there--and that's for self parking! Valet is much more!

We were travelling through Nashville in mid-June, which happens to be right in the middle of a country music festival there. The Opryland Hotel was booked solid. So we didn't stay at this hotel. We didn't even stop the car to get out. We just drove around the hotel and were so impressed by its size and style that I would recommend staying there if you can get a reservation. It's a massive hotel, about six stories high, but sprawling. I hope they have electric carts to carry their elderly hotel guests to their rooms. Just don't try to stay there in mid-June. Theme: HotelDirections: Opryland is just east of Nashville proper. It's a whole conglomeration of its own, located near the Grand Old Opryhouse, the Opry Mills shopping complex, several hotels, etc. Can't miss it if you read

Opryland Hotel. It's a paradise on Earth. All under glass sky, contolled temperature, controlled humidity and beautiful gardens.
Buy a package for a reduced price and get free extras. Very inexpensive in the long run. Well worth the costs.
4 acres of gardens under a glass sky.
You can eat on the patio of one of the seven restaurants. Another restaurant has a revolving bar with a musical light and water fountain show. As a man plays the organ the water keeps in time with the music. Spectacular colors and lots of action. There are also six bars in the Hotel all with a different theme. Our favorite was the Bourbon Barrel. Had live music. A singer and a piano player. The inside of the bar felt like you were in a barrel, all wood paneled, low lighting. Very relaxing. Every where you go in the Hotel people are friendly and very helpful. Theme: HotelComparison: about averageOther Contact: Opryland Hotel has a web site. J

Service was wonderful, all staff was friendly and accommodating- I plan to stay hear on my next visit.
This landmark hotel is huge, gorgeous, and centrally located next to absolutely everything. While I have no clue how big it actually is, it’s so massive and pretty you don’t even realize you’re in a hotel. There’s a wonderful atrium, indoor gardens, cascading waterfalls and a river with its own Delta flatboat. The suites are to die for, very impressive yet homey, much nicer than most luxury hotels. Shopping in the hotel is great for a shopping addict like me and the spa was huge also. However, I was not over impressed with the restaurants in the hotel but the service was excellent. It’s very hard to describe how nice this place is, especially at night outside at the bar with the water flowing.
