New hotel inside Pyramid accepting reservations

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Its not set to open until May, but you can already reserve your room at the Big Cypress Lodge, the hotel inside the Pyramid.

In addition to shopping for outdoor gear, the new Bass Pro will feature the 100-room hotel. We got a look at the only finished room during a recent tour of the Pyramid.

Rooms feature fireplaces, handcrafted furniture, and a very uniquely designed, screened-in porch, a woman with Big Cypress Lodge said.

Call 1-800-BC-LODGE (225-6343) to make your reservation. Rooms start at $259 a night.

Earlier this month, Bass Pro told WREG that for the past ten months, construction, creative, and design teams have been transforming the Pyramid into a cypress swamp with fish and alligators, as well as 24 faux cypress trees that stretch to the upper reaches of the building.

The opening date has been delayed several times, with the most recent date being this Christmas, but Bass Pro executives promise it will be well worth the wait.

More than 200 construction workers are reportedly in the Pyramid daily. After keeping anyone from seeing inside for eight months, Bass Pro finally let WREG inside at the beginning of November to show you how its transforming the old home of the Grizzlies and Tigers.

In addition to the hotel, there will be an ocean-themed bowling alley called the Fishbowl, two restaurants, and Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling center.

We are going to have a mock-up duck lodge, a Ducks Unlimited official said. There you can relax by the fireplace, watch videos, view art work and taxidermy.

Observation decks will also line the outside of the Pyramid.
