Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center is more than a hotel; it’s a biodome. Enclosed under a massive glass atrium are acres of indoor gardens recreating three Florida environments: the Everglades, Key West, and St. Augustine. You can see gators, tarpon, and lush vegetation without stepping outside.
The Rooms
We recommend booking an Atrium View room. Being able to sit on your balcony and look down at the indoor village below is a unique experience. The standard rooms are spacious and feature modern coastal decor.
Dining Options
With nine restaurants on-site, you won’t go hungry. Old Hickory Steakhouse is the standout fine dining option, set in an "island" in the Everglades section. For casual bites, the Wreckers Sports Bar features massive screens and good pub food.
Cypress Springs Water Park
Exclusive to resort guests, this water park features a zero-entry pool, a FlowRider surf simulator, towering slides, and the Crystal River Rapids lazy river.
