South - Atlanta Hotels And Meetings

I'm looking for suggestions on Hotels in the Atlanta, GA or Dallas, TX area. I would like something in a resort-like setting, with meeting options available.

Any suggestions?

Gaylord, Grapevine, close to North Entrance, DFW, is one of the few that seems semi- (very semi) resortish to me and is basically a "meeting hotal". There 's a Hilton Conference Center nearby, IIRC.

Dallas and Atlanta are to resorts as a paper plate is to a good steak.

The Stockyards area over in Ft. Worth seem pretty resorty, and there's always Billy Bob's to recreate and a couple of decent steak places. Last time I was at a meeting in Ft. Worth, at Billy Bob's I met this big old girl from who could drink half a case of beer and a few Magaritas, then dance until we were both pretty sweaty, before groping me under the table. I think she was from out by Archer City or Olney though, not a Ft. Worth girl, 'cuz she was waring cracked Ropers, not those fancy Snakagator boots.

Does it have to be right in Atlanta or is 30 miles outside of town okay? Chateau Elan. We do a yearly conference there and yes, it costs a good bit but it's always fabulous.

Are you talking about a meeting with 2 clients - or a group of 100? And why limit yourself to Dallas and Atlanta? Most resorts are in the dumps these days - and you can probably make a very good deal just about anywhere for a large meeting. Robyn
