The Gaylord Texan Hotel & Convention Center

If you've never been to a Gaylord Hotel then it's hard to explain the vastness and excellence the Gaylord facilities contain. Suffice it to say that, true to form, the Gaylord Texan meets and exceeds those lofty expectations. Like other Gaylord facilities, the Texan is all enclosed under one computer-controlled glass roof. Under that atrium are several themed areas, from the Alamo Atrium to indoor pools, the Riverwalk area... all full-sized simulations beneath a 20-some story glass canopy, with full-grown trees, flowers and waterfalls. There are shops, night clubs, dancing, and a slew of restaurants, all for you and your guests to enjoy. They fulfill their motto again -- "All in one place."

Convenience is another important factor in choosing a conference venue. The Gaylord Texan is midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, a mere 12 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. There's a Six Flags nearby, should your guests choose to venture forth, and Dallas has many offerings and attractions as well. But you really, truly don't need to leave the Gaylord Texan complex until it's time to go home!

Can you even conceive of a place that can accommodate just under eighteen thousand attendees at one time, providing beds for 4,500 of them, and do it all with style and grace? That's what the Gaylord Texan offers! There are 87 meeting rooms available, including one that provides classroom seating for 3,500, and another that can give 800 guests a theatre-style seat for your presentation. Each of those 87 rooms enjoys blazing fast T3 Internet, and the entire hotel is set up for wifi. Catering is excellent, as always, and can be anything from a snack and coffee service to gourmet meals and chef's pastry or mousse desserts! When your guests are dining separately, there are many theme restaurants available, including an Old Hickory Steakhouse, a Mexican restaurant, and the Riverwalk. Feel like a little late-night dancing, getting on your groove thing? Check out the Glass Cactus nightclub, also within the complex!

Dallas makes a great location for a conference, sales meeting, or family gathering. Centrally located and a hub city, it's easy to get to and from, no matter where your guests are located. The weather is often ideal (and always perfect inside.) The Gaylord Texan Hotel and Conference Center's standard of excellence and integrity are famous. If you've got a gathering in mind, there's simply no better place to have it than a Gaylord hotel. When you're thinking Texas, think the Gaylord Texan for an experience you and your guests will remember well, long and fondly!
