Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Often when visiting a metropolitan area, staying downtown can be convenient, but also loud, and sometimes being in the thick of the hustle and bustle isn’t desirable. When visiting Nashville, the Gaylord Opryland is the perfect hotel that is outside of the downtown area, yet still convenient. It is within walking distance of the bucket-list Grand Ole Opry, as well as the Opry Mills Mall featuring Madame Tussauds. It is a quick uber into town, and there is a bus station outside of the hotel. It is just minutes away from the Nashville Airport.
