Gaylord Texan: Parking, ice! and DFW Airport Rides
Resort parking, ice! dates and chauffeured transfers between DFW Airport, Love Field and the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine.
The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center sits on Lake Grapevine, about 6 miles from DFW Airport, roughly 13 minutes in light traffic, and 3 miles from Grapevine’s Historic Main Street. The resort’s Marriott listing shows overnight parking at $29 for self-parking and $49 for valet, plus tax, and says the hotel does not provide an airport shuttle. Its 22nd annual Lone Star Christmas brings ice! featuring Harry Potter from November 13, 2026, to January 3, 2027; day visitors can pre-pay self-parking online, and the resort is cashless. DFW Black Limo runs DFW Airport and Love Field transfers to the resort around the clock, and evening rides to ice! from across the Metroplex.

From the gate to the resort in minutes.
The resort does not provide an airport shuttle, according to its Marriott listing. Landing at DFW, your chauffeur tracks your flight and meets you curbside at arrivals or inside baggage claim, and the drive to the resort takes about 13 minutes in light traffic. From Love Field, allow about 31 minutes.
For conventions, we move attendees between the terminals and the resort in luxury sedans and Chevrolet Suburbans, and hourly service keeps a chauffeur on hand for dinners on Main Street or in Southlake. Sedans are $85 per hour with a 2-hour minimum.

ice! and Lone Star Christmas
The Gaylord Texan’s 22nd annual Lone Star Christmas runs with ice! featuring Harry Potter from November 13, 2026, to January 3, 2027: scenes inspired by the films, carved from 2 million pounds of ice, according to the resort’s announcement. If you are driving in, pre-pay your self-parking for your date; the pass is single use and for day visitors only. Or skip the garage: we drop you at the resort and collect you when you are done.
