About this hotel
The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center provides a comprehensive stay with its extensive amenities, ideal for both leisure and business travelers. Upon arrival, guests find a vast complex featuring two distinct pools for relaxation or recreation, alongside a variety of shops for convenience. Dining options are plentiful with four on-site restaurants, catering to diverse tastes. The centerpiece is a five-acre atrium, creating a unique indoor environment. For those with early flights or late arrivals, the resort offers room service and a bar. Business travelers will appreciate the dedicated business center, while families benefit from the kid-friendly atmosphere and air-conditioned rooms. The resort is a short taxi ride from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, making it a practical choice for airport-adjacent stays.

Our take
I recommend the Gaylord Texan when you want a full resort within a taxi ride of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Two pools, four restaurants, shops, a full-service spa and the five-acre atrium give you plenty to do on site, and the convention center and business center make it a solid pick for events. For a quick overnight before an early flight, its size is more than you need.
- Consider the paid parking if you're driving, as it's a large resort with many facilities.
- Explore the five-acre atrium; it's a unique feature and a great place to relax.
- Factor in the taxi ride to the airport for your departure, as public transport takes longer.

Why guests love itGaylord Texan Resort is a resort rather than a simple airport hotel, and that suits families. Two pools, several shops and four restaurants keep everyone busy without a car, and the five-acre indoor atrium is a draw on its own for children. The property is kid-friendly and offers breakfast options. Parking is paid, which matters if you drive in, and DFW Airport is a taxi ride away.
