 Property Description

Surrounded by rolling pastureland and overlooking beautiful Lake Grapevine, the magnificent Gaylord Texan pays tribute to everything Texas as only Texas can: on a grand scale.

As a guest of the resort, you’ll experience the best of the Lone Star State under our signature glass atriums where you can dine, shop, socialize, and be entertained among four-and-a-half acres of lush indoor gardens. Take a stroll around and soak in the festive atmosphere of Riverwalk Atrium, marvel at Palo Duro Canyon in the Lone Star Atrium, or taste the Contemporary Southwestern creations at Ama Lur in the Hill Country Atrium.

or rest and relaxation, enjoy our luxurious 25,000-square-foot world-class spa and fitness center with indoor pool, 18-hole championship golf at the adjacent Cowboys Golf Club, grotto-style outdoor pool, and nightly live music. We can also arrange for bass fishing, water skiing and other water sports through the nearby marina. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a week, you’ll never run out of things to see and do.

After retiring for the evening to your beautifully appointed room, you can unlock your safe to find your laptop and mobile phone fully recharged, relax with an in-room movie, plug into high-speed Internet, or check messages and make calls using a standard or cordless phone. You’ll find all the comforts of home and then some.

We look forward to meeting you and giving you a warm Texas welcome with our brand of superior hospitality, service and entertainment.

To preserve the pristine condition of its resort, Gaylord Texan is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is prohibited in all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, and indoor public spaces, except for our Cigar bar located in Texan Station.
