The Super Swanky
Citizen House is so private, so chic and so tucked away, you may never want to leave. There are only 16 rooms! You’ll find this exquisite little gem on the second floor of the Citizen Building in Downtown OKC. Along with best-in-class service, guests also enjoy full access to Citizen House’s members-only social club located on the 4th floor - a dynamic space where art, culture, dining and social engagement converge.
Located within the beautifully restored First National Center in Downtown OKC, The National features a breathtaking art deco style from the building’s days as a 1930s bank with its near-century-old murals, painted ceilings, stone columns and bank equipment. The National has 146 well-appointed rooms with convenient proximity to three restaurants and two bars, one of which sits in what was once a bank vault. This reimagined historical building even includes Lucchese Boot Company, Drybar and a gift shop curated by Plenty Mercantile on the premises.
Built in 1910, the Colcord Hotel is stylish and posh – offering top-notch service and amenities to guests. The historic hotel is just steps away from live music venues, Myriad Botanical Gardens, Scissortail Park and so much more in Downtown OKC. FLINT, an upscale casual restaurant and lounge located on the ground floor of the hotel, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
The Stylish and Swell
Bradford House is easily the most instagrammable hotel in OKC, and it’s also the only one on Michelin’s exclusive list of Key Hotels. Set on a tranquil, residential street in Oklahoma City, the Bradford House is a place where guests are invited to enjoy the luxury of respite and be enchanted by curiosity and intrigue. Overnight guests and visitors can mingle in the shared living areas, cozy up with a good book in the cafe or enjoy a delicious drink on the wrap-around porch. If you’re there on a Tuesday, try the Burgers & Beaujolais special!
Omni Oklahoma City is sleek, sophisticated and perfectly personable. From the insanely soft sheets, transformative, spa-like showers and sparkling pool to its bevy of dining options, you truly cannot go wrong. Pro tip: head to Bob’s Steak & Chop House for the ultimate girl dinner. Pair sides like mac and cheese, Nueski’s bacon and roasted Brussels with a Dirty Bob Martini – or two! You’re not driving, after all!
A newer addition, bringing with it tons of style and a fun setting among a group of shops, restaurants and even a seasonal ice-skating rink, the Lively Hotel is exactly that – joyful, energizing and beautiful. It’s got a chill side, too – the shimmering outdoor pool features poolside service and cabana rental, ideal for a sunny summer sojourn.
The Surprises
Classen Inn was built in 1963 and is a classic specimen of the space-age inspired architecture of the mid-1900s. Its bold, nostalgic decor captures the original, retro vibe of the property. An on-site Superette provides guests with easy access to snacks, knick-knacks and tasty beverages. In any direction, you’re just a short walk away from thriving art scenes, live music, neighborhood pubs and a variety of culinary experiences.
