The Best Hotels in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

The Omni is undoubtedly an excellent hotel in Oklahoma City, but in humble fashion, this beauty tries to direct your attention elsewhere. It’ll point you across the street to bustling Bricktown or slide you the key to a room in full view of the stunning Scissortail Park. It may even insist that you spend your time in the hotel with your eyes closed, either in your comfortable bed, on a Mokara Spa massage table or behind a pair of shades on the rooftop pool deck.

In a former Ford Motor Company assembly plant along Film Row, 21c Museum Hotel Oklahoma City pays homage to its industrial heritage with large open spaces and restored original details, including terrazzo floors, an eye-catching entry marquee and brick accents. Refined modern touches, such as high ceilings, steel windows and in-room Nespresso machines, complete the space. The adjacent museum showcases rotating contemporary exhibits, with the art collection extending beyond the museum walls and into the rooms, common areas and Mary Eddy’s Dining Room, the restaurant serving innovative contemporary American dishes.

The Skirvin, the oldest hotel in Oklahoma City, blends prestigious tradition with contemporary luxury throughout its three art deco towers in the center of downtown.

In the renovated Osler Building steps from Midtown, the Ambassador Hotel Oklahoma City pays homage to its 1920s origins with art deco architecture and preserved original finishings, such as the striking brick facade.
