2 Best Hotels in Tulsa, Oklahoma

In the heart of Brady Arts District, downtown Tulsa's newest hotel (opened November 2012) is all about convenience. It's one block from the new Woody Guthrie Memorial; three blocks from Cain's Ballroom; just a half mile from Tulsa Convention Center, BOK Center, and ONEOK Field (home of the Tulsa Drillers); and less than a mile from the University of Oklahoma's Tulsa campus. It's all bright and modern, and rooms are spacious, with 32-inch flat-screen television, mini-refrigerators, and microwave. Two restaurants offer the choice of steak-house cuisine or Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare.

In some ways, the Ambassador is unlike any other luxury hotel in Tulsa. An extensive redeisgn transformed one of the city's most historic properties into one of the city's most contemporary hotels, with a tech-savvy style that belies it's lofty Mediterranean-inspired architecture and regal European-style interiors. There are only seven rooms on each floor, providing a more intimate feel than you might expect, and each has an Italian marble bathroom, custom-crafted furniture, and triple-sheeted pillow-top beds. Complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water, newspaper, and local and airport transportation confirm the hotel's standing as an ambassador of Tulsa hospitality.
