Wilderness Event Center Hotel Grand Opening!

After just a year of construction, the Wilderness Event Center Hotel is now open! 125 rooms checked in just last night! Things are going great and we are so excited to welcome out first guests. We still have a bit to do until things run seamless, but we could not have asked for more of a successful grand opening. Salamander Springs Waterpark (our 20,000 sq ft outdoor park) is also open, along with the Coyote Cafe, Hidden Trail Bar and Grill and Black Bear Boutique.

We celebrated our Grand Opening Celebration for Phase I on Thursday, June 26th at 10:00 am in the Wilderness at the Smokies Hotel Lobby. Monty the Moose was the first guest in that day to get his key to his room! The ceremony was lead by the General Manager, David McGregor, with words given by town and city authorities, the State department, Jim Caulkin of the Bridgemont Group and Wilderness's own, Pat Helland. Hotel tours and construction overviews were given following the ceremony along with light appetizers and drinks in the new Deep Creek Conference Room. A great time was had by all-and the City of Sevierville is so proud to have Wilderness at the Smokies as part of their bright future for generations to come!

I invite you to visit us to see for yourself what an amazing place we have created in the hottest tourist destination in the South!
