The Gaylord Texan

The
Gaylord family opened the fifth of its spectacular hotels and
convention centers in Grapevine,  a suburb between Dallas and Ft. Worth
and five minutes from DFW Airport,  three years ago.  It is a visual
treat to the senses for both young and old.

For
those who want to relax with a drink and watch a sporting event or
other television program, the Lone Star room features a panoramic screen
with televisions also along the walls.

A
riverwalk winds through lower level of the hotel, which features shops
and restaurants.  The entire motiff is Texas-themed.  Notice the wooden
windmill to the left  In addition the complete area on the lower level
is a huge atrium.

Just off the atrium, a comfortable lounge where people can relax, put up their feet and visit by the fire.

the many special exhibits featured throughout the year.
