The Opryland Resort is a sprawling complex on the eastern edge of Nashville.

By Jamison Rotch

Sprawling. Massive. Gargantuan. Colossal. Pick your own oversized adjective to describe this Nashville landmark located five miles from city’s downtown center. The Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is not only the largest hotel in Nashville; it’s also one of the largest in the world. It has 2,800 guest rooms, 600,000 square feet of meeting space, nine acres of indoor gardens, a 44-foot waterfall, and Delta Flatboat tours for a river system located inside the complex.

There are too many activities offered at the complex to list them all, but highlights include shopping at the nearby Opry Mills outlet, a steamboat ride down the Cumberland River on the General Jackson and a night of live music at the Grand Ole Opry located next door.

The guest rooms come at various price levels averaging in the mid to upper $200s per night.
