Big Cypress Lodge
Tennessee
Big Cypress Lodge turns the Memphis Pyramid into an indoor wilderness retreat. Its 103 rooms sit among cypress trees above Bass Pro Shops, bringing the atmosphere of a country lodge into one of the city’s most recognisable buildings. Accommodation ranges from lodge rooms to treehouse-style retreats, cabins and suites. Some rooms overlook the interior of the pyramid, making the unusual setting part of the stay from the moment guests open their curtains. The building provides plenty to explore, including shopping, dining and the Sky High Ride to an observation deck. Restaurants and bars include The Lookout, The Fishbowl and a third-floor lounge, giving guests several ways to spend an evening without leaving the pyramid. A hotel shuttle connects the property with downtown Memphis when it is time to explore beyond the building. Big Cypress is particularly suited to families and travellers who want their accommodation to be an attraction in its own right, with a playful interpretation of the outdoors.
