As you stroll through the glass-roofed atrium, you’ll discover four-and-a-half acres of lush gardens, sparkling waterfalls and winding pathways. And no matter when you visit, it will be a comfortable 72 degrees inside, making the Gaylord Texan Resort a great place to escape the heat in the summer or the cold in winter.
Once you check in, you’ll find no shortage of things to do, such as indulging in a relaxing treatment or two at the European-inspired Relâche Spa that offers 12 treatment rooms, an indoor saltwater lap pool and a 24-hour fitness center. The ladies won’t want to miss spending some time in the women’s “slumber room” with its comfortable napping loungers, warm blankets, water fountain and soothing spa music. Just say ahhh… For nighttime fun, head to the Glass Cactus, the resort’s 39,000-sq-ft live music nightclub on the shores of Lake Grapevine.

The team has been led by General Manager John Imaizumi since the resort opened its doors in 2004. He coined the term “One Team, One Dream” that has become the Texan’s philosophy for taking care of each other and working together as a team to take care of guests. Under Imaizumi’s leadership, the resort has garnered countless awards and recognitions. However, Imaizumi says that the awards that mean the most to him are the employment awards such as The Dallas Business Journal’s “Best Place to Work” award that the Texan has won the last ten consecutive years. As Imaizumi says, “When we take the best possible care of our STARS first, we allow them, in turn, to take the best possible care of our guests.”
