Adjacent to the Grand Ole Opry, this resort is a natural choice for music fans, but with championship golf, outlet mall shopping, riverboat cruises and plenty of other activities nearby, this resort has something for everyone. Nine acres of tropical gardens and flowing rivers are tucked inside climate-controlled glass atriums, allowing guests to enjoy the “outdoors” year-round. Guests can even take a ride aboard the hotel’s Delta Flatboats without ever going outside. For those who do want to venture out, two outdoor pools beckon sunbathers and swimmers. Variety is the spice of life here, with an endless supply of dining and recreational choices.
