The venue offers 2,000 guest rooms, 470,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, seven on-site restaurants, and a 20,000-square-foot European-style spa.
Owned and operated by the Nashville-based hospitality and entertainment company Gaylord Entertainment, the chain also has meetings-focused resorts in Nashville, Orlando, Dallas.
