The Mayo Hotel Tulsa

The Mayo Hotel rises over West 5th Street in downtown Tulsa's Art Deco district, a short walk from the BOK Center arena and the Tulsa Arts District's galleries and restaurants. Opened in 1925, the hotel was one of the tallest buildings in the Southwest at the time and hosted guests ranging from oil barons to Franklin Roosevelt before closing for decades and reopening in the 2000s after a full renovation that preserved its Deco lobby and period details. Rooms are split into classic, superior, and suite categories, all updated with modern furnishings and technology while keeping high ceilings and large windows typical of the 1925 build. The hotel operates an in-house restaurant and bar, plus a rooftop lounge that is one of the better vantage points over the downtown Tulsa skyline, and it hosts weddings and corporate functions in its restored event spaces. There is no full spa or pool on site, so the property leans on its architecture, dining, and event space rather than resort-style amenities. Service is geared toward guests drawn to the building's history and downtown location, including business travelers attending nearby BOK Center or Arts District events, with staff able to speak to the hotel's Art Deco restoration in detail.
