Have you ever been to a hotel that has a mystical fantasy like forest in the middle of it? I haven’t, or at least I haven’t slept at one but to start of the wonderful new year I had the opportunity to go visit the Grand Opry Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was absolutely exquisite with plants and decorations, shoot they practically have a small Venetian town in the middle of the hotel, complete with GONDOLA RIDES! That’s right they had a little river that went around and you could get a ride on a gondola. Keep in mind this is all INSIDE the hotel. Can you imagine what it would be like to spend a few nights there? Not that I could afford to do so but still it is definitely a ‘bucket list’ experience. They still had their Christmas lights decorations up so everything was lit up and absolutely festive. The only strange thing I noticed was that there were catholic monks, priests, and such absolutely everywhere! We couldn’t figure out if there was a play going on or if it was a Catholic convention, we didn’t have the heart to ask anyone.

Wow the pictures are stunning! Credit to your photography skills and the hotel!
Thank you so much! It was the hotel that provided the inspiration.
