As a result of the historic floods of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center has been closed since May 2. It was announced recently that the restoration strategy is in full gear and the Gaylord Opryland will reopen for business on November 15, 2010.

A report received at www.GoGolfandTravel.com indicates that there are months of work ahead but significant progress is being made in remediation and restoration efforts. They have manually inspected and tested every aspect of the mechanical, electrical, IT, and power-generating systems.

In addition to the extensive rehabilitation of the property’s high-tech infrastructure, they have also identified the following key elements of the restoration plan:

• Wholesale replacement of the Cascades Lobby, Cascades Atrium, Cascades Restaurant, Sushi Bar, and Lobby Bar
• Volare's Restaurant and Jack Daniel's Restaurant will be redesigned
  
• Extensive cleaning and installation of new technology systems for ground floor exhibition hall
  
• Full restoration of Ryman breakout rooms, laundry area, sales offices, and 117 guest rooms
  

After November 15th, guests will be able to take a ride on the boats in the Delta section of the hotel.

A veritable army of contractors is now on site working alongside the Gaylord Opryland Hotel’s management to keep on schedule for the November reopening.

In addition to the repair and restoration work going on at the hotel, they are performing approximately $24 million in capital improvements that were already planned for the facility in the coming months and years. Gaylord has chosen to move forward with these improvements now while the facility is closed and will not need to further interrupt business at a later date.

Several of Gaylord's other attractions in the city of Nashville — including the Grand Ole Opry House, the Gaylord Springs Golf Course, the Wildhorse Saloon, and the General Jackson Showboat — are also under reconstruction at this time. All of these facilities will be completely restored and open for business in the months leading up to hotel's grand reopening.
