I'm trying to look up the Opryland hotel but cannot find it on the web? Is there another name or is Opryland in the name? We're looking to go next weekend(very sudden trip) and would be interested in ideas and suggestion on things "not to miss seeing." Any and all input is appreciated!!

It's www.oprylandhotels.com

It's a huge hotel, lots of conventioneers and tourists. Nice atrium area and Delta area. Parking is far away. Long walks between parts of the hotel. It's really big, did I mention that?(!) It's outside of town and getting into Nashville is not made all that easy. If you want to go to Nashville to see Nashville, don't stay there. Go there if you just want to spend time at the Opryland Hotel.

If you want to know what's going on in Nashville, look at www.citysearch.com and choose Nashville. The new Frist Museum opened just last year and is outstanding. It is located downtown. Cheekwood, an old mansion with wonderful grounds and botannical gardens, is definitely worth a visit, especially in spring when the wildflowers are in bloom, and especially if the weather is nice. Visit the Parthenon, in Centennial Park off of West End Avenue. The Parthenon has just completed a years-long renovation. It's a full-sized replica of the real Parthenon.

Here are some good restaurants: Park Cafe, Zola, Midtown Cafe. If you like good chain restaurants, Flemings and P.F. Chang. If you like authentic Nashville "meat & three" dives, Rotier's near West End Avenue, near Vanderbilt.

Have a great trip!

the hotel is BIG. beautiful to see but i probably would not stay there again. For the $ try the Loews Vanderbilt Plaza. It is closer to "Nashville." Also a nice place for drinks and to eat is The Trace.

Nashville was on the white trash Top 10, right????????????

Ya know ball buster, sometimes people just have to go somewhere and may not have the choice where they go. Why be such a pessimist???
