Cvent released its 2018 lists for the Top Meeting Hotels, and the U.S. rankings have a familiar name at No. 1: The Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville tops the list for the second consecutive year.

“Being recognized as the highest-ranking hotel two years in a row is a testament to our incredibly talented team,” said John Adams, the resort’s general manager. “Their drive and passion for providing memorable experiences has cemented Nashville’s status as a meeting destination.”
