About Gaylord
Gaylord Hotels is a pioneer in the hotel and convention industry with a collection of four upscale, meetings-focused resorts found near Nashville, Tenn.; Orlando, Fla.; Dallas, Texas; and Washington, D.C.
Each of the Gaylord properties celebrates the geographical heritage of the destination in which it is located with regional themes and attractions designed exclusively for that resort. Our hallmark – “everything in one place” – provides meeting attendees and leisure travelers with convenient onsite access to award-winning dining options, quality spa and fitness facilities, top-notch entertainment, on-site shopping and resort activities, and much more. Gaylord Hotels is owned and operated by Gaylord Entertainment (NYSE: GET), a leading hospitality and entertainment company based in Nashville, Tenn.
Gaylord in the Community
Gaylord Entertainment plays a central role in the communities in which they do business. They believe in reaching out to the local community by financially supporting its charities, schools and other non-profit organizations. They also create formal programs that invite local residents to experience our properties and enjoy our entertainment offerings, and sponsor cultural and tourism events that promote a sense of community while enriching the local economy. Gaylord contributes to more than 100 charitable organizations annually through the Gaylord Entertainment Foundation.
Some of the national organizations Gaylord supports:
- United Way
- Junior Achievement
- Second Harvest Food Bank
- Wish Upon a Star (Holiday Drive)
- Big Brothers Big Sisters
"This type of tourism is what Mesa needs as the benefits of the community reach far and wide from the creation of jobs, boosting the economy, lowering taxes and enhancing the quality of life."
