About us

FULLY RENOVATED: Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center has undergone a stunning $134-million transformation, unveiling a reimagined lobby, refreshed restaurants, renovations to two major event ballrooms, and the complete revitalization of more than 1,400 guest rooms. In 2021, the resort debuted the expansion of 100,000 square feet of additional indoor and outdoor meeting space and more than 300 new guest rooms and suites. Conveniently located in the heart of the Sunshine State just 17 minutes from Orlando International Airport, Gaylord Palms boasts more than 500,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, 1,718 guest rooms and suites, and a breathtaking 4.5-acre garden atrium filled with more than 500,000 plants and native Florida wildlife. Attendees can network over exceptional dining experiences, unwind at the 3-acre Cypress Springs Water Park, or explore nearby Orlando’s world-famous attractions. From intimate gatherings to large-scale conventions, the resort’s dedicated team of STARS delivers world-class service to make every event extraordinary. The one-of-a-kind venues – including scenic outdoor lawns, an indoor replica of a historic fort, and the striking Emerald Bay Plaza – offer memorable settings to elevate any meeting.
