Host Hotel: Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center

Upon arrival at Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, you realize something is different here. Yes, the size and architecture are astounding; however, there is something deeper within the details. A 60-foot schooner floating in a Key West lagoon. A baby alligator sleeping among the mystical waters of the Everglades. A three-story Spanish fort centering historic St. Augustine. Perhaps the greatest wonder is that it is all under glass and temperature-controlled year round. These refreshing surprises are only the beginning of what you will remember about your experience at the Gaylord Palms.

The luxurious 1,406-room Gaylord Palms Resort, Central Florida’s newest destination, celebrates the very best of the Sunshine State inside a spectacular four and one-half acre glass-topped atrium. Innovative dining options are offered in several critically acclaimed restaurants, including Old Hickory Steakhouse, Villa de Flora Marketplace and Sunset Sam’s Fish Camp. Other amenities include resort-style swimming pools, nightly entertainment and the legendary Canyon Ranch SpaClub, the most prestigious spa and fitness center in Central Florida.

The resort is located just a mile from Disney attractions and offers complimentary shuttles to the theme parks daily. The resort features four-diamond luxury guest rooms, a Canyon Ranch spa, its own i-ConnectTM in-room computer system allowing virtual mapping of the property and the meeting agenda, nine restaurants, a variety of shops, and Coquina Dunes recreation park including two swimming pools, beach volleyball and a challenging nine-hole executive putting course. Kids can stretch their legs at La Petite Academy Kids Station, where they are treated to their own area within the resort, all in a safe and fully-supervised environment. Nearby golf at Falcon’s Fire is our host for the ASTA Golf Tournament. Fun is in store for the whole family!

This rate includes daily high-speed Internet access, which is offered wireless throughout the property, access to the resort’s two swimming pools and fitness center and two daily bottled waters in your guest room.
