Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center on Lake Grapevine

Fodor's Review:

Even inside this massive hotel you feel like you're outside (minus the Texas weather). Glass rooftops allow natural light to fill the climate-controlled space, filled with indoor gardens (4.5 acres worth), bodies of water, and region-specific architecture. The atmosphere is festive, especially on weekends, when guests and gawkers stroll through the common areas, shop, dine, and enjoy various live entertainment options. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is about 5 mi south of the complex. Pros: All-inclusive means plenty of dining, drinking, and entertainment options, ground floor offers condensed overview of Texas. Cons: Staff can be overwhelmed by massive crowds, which happens often at this convention-friendly property, removed from most Dallas-Fort Worth attractions, dining options are expensive.
