A Cool New Lodging Addition Is Coming To Downtown Tyler, TX In A Building A Lot Of Folks Have Fond Memories Of.

In the heart of downtown Tyler, a historic landmark is undergoing a remarkable transformation that promises to breathe new life into a once-bustling transportation hub.

Greyhound Moved Locations Back In 2019.

Take a look at how the station looked back in 2008. Andy Bergfeld of Bergfeld Realty told KLTV he first thought the building wasn’t very appealing, but then found the building's original 1933 art deco design was still in tact underneath its façade.

The decision to transform the Greyhound Bus Station into a hotel wasn't made lightly.

A lot of work went into preserving the original building and they have been documenting the station's transformation through a series of posts on social media through The Greyhound Inn Facebook Page.

The inn will operate as a contactless hotel.

That means when you book through the website you are given codes to get into the gates and to the doors into your room. The inn will also be complete with nine hotel rooms, some mid-century modern and some of the original art deco rooms. The hotel will be open and operational starting on Oct. 16.

Reservations are now open at https://www.greyhoundinntx.com/ and room rates range from $218 to $273 a night. The transformation of the Greyhound Bus Station into a hotel isn't just a restoration project; it hopes to be a catalyst for economic and social development in Tyler.
