Location: Pyramid landmark vs Downtown Union Avenue

Big Cypress Lodge – Location

Big Cypress Lodge sits inside the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid at 1 Bass Pro Drive, near the riverfront and Bass Pro retail.

  • Short drive or complimentary shuttle to Beale Street and downtown attractions
  • Rooms overlook an indoor cypress swamp or downtown/Mississippi River views
  • On-site access to Bass Pro Shops retail, an aquarium and the Sky High Ride observation deck

A stay here doubles as a visit to a local landmark and keeps many activities inside the Pyramid.

Canopy – Location

Canopy by Hilton Memphis Downtown is on Union Avenue in the heart of downtown Memphis.

  • Within a short walk of Beale Street, AutoZone Park and the Peabody Memphis
  • Good base for walking to music venues, restaurants and theaters
  • Preferred airport is Memphis International Airport (MEM) about 11.4 miles away per supplier listing

Canopy is a convenient, walkable base for downtown sightseeing and nightlife.

Rooms: themed lodgings vs modern hotel rooms

Big Cypress Lodge – Rooms

Big Cypress offers themed rooms and suites — cabins, duck lodges, treehouse rooms and a Governor’s Suite.

  • Room types include Interior Room, Duck Cabin, Treehouse Room, Terrace Suite and the Governor's Suite
  • Many rooms have screened-in porches overlooking the indoor swamp or downtown views
  • 103 individually decorated guestrooms with complimentary Wi‑Fi

Rooms are designed to extend the lodge-and-outdoors theme; expect distinctive, themed décor.

Canopy – Rooms

Canopy’s rooms are standard Hilton-style lifestyle guestrooms, with a range of accessible and premium room types.

  • Room types include 1 King Bed Room, 2 Queen Bed Room, several mobility- and hearing-accessible options, and suites
  • 174 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi‑Fi
  • Some premium and corner rooms and one-bedroom suites available

Canopy offers predictable, modern rooms with multiple accessibility options and suite choices.

Dining & drinks: multiple themed venues vs single-site restaurant + bar

Big Cypress Lodge – Dining & drinks

Big Cypress has multiple on-site restaurants and bars serving American and themed menus.

  • The Lookout at the Pyramid (American/steakhouse) on the top level; reservations recommended
  • Wahlburgers Wild offers backcountry-themed burgers and breakfast; The Fishbowl overlooks a bowling alley
  • Several bars including The Den and Mississippi Terrace for evening drinks and live music

Food-and-drink options are varied and integrated with the Pyramid’s entertainment areas.

Canopy – Dining & drinks

Canopy provides one restaurant, a coffee shop/cafe, and a bar/lounge for drinks and limited room service.

  • Full breakfasts available for a fee (approx. USD 9–15 per person)
  • On-site bar/lounge for evening drinks and a coffee shop for snacks
  • Room service offered during limited hours

Canopy covers basics well for downtown dining but relies on nearby restaurants for variety.

Signature amenity: indoor swamp & attractions vs walkable downtown access

Big Cypress Lodge – Signature amenity

Big Cypress’s signature is the indoor bayou/swamp and Pyramid attractions that function as onsite entertainment.

  • Indoor cypress swamp with fish ponds and alligators visible from public areas and some rooms
  • Sky High Ride and glass observation deck included with a stay (hours published)
  • On-site activities include a 13-lane bowling alley and archery

The property is itself an attraction — plan to spend time inside the Pyramid.

Canopy – Signature amenity

Canopy’s strength is its downtown location that puts music, dining and nightlife within easy walking distance.

  • Short walk to Beale Street, AutoZone Park and Peabody Memphis
  • Neighborhood-driven design intended to reflect downtown Memphis character
  • Good option for guests prioritizing nearby attractions over on-site entertainment

Canopy is designed for guests who want to be out exploring the city each day.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and lodge bars vs fitness and downtown bars

Big Cypress Lodge – Wellness & nightlife

Big Cypress includes an on-site spa and multiple lodge-style bars and terraces.

  • Big Cypress Spa by Gould’s on the 2nd floor (hours and treatments published; treatments extra)
  • 24-hour fitness center on level three included with a stay
  • Evening options include The Den, Mississippi Terrace and Fishbowl — some live music and late hours on weekends

Spa treatments cost extra and should be confirmed before arrival; nightlife leans lodge-style and on-site.

Canopy – Wellness & nightlife

Canopy provides a 24-hour fitness facility and a hotel bar/lounge; downtown nightlife is steps away.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities listed among featured amenities
  • Bar/lounge on-site for evening drinks; many additional bars and music venues within walking distance
  • Spa presence is not published in the supplier listing

Canopy covers fitness needs and relies on the surrounding neighborhood for nightlife and specialized wellness services.
