Oklahoma City worked to preserve its western heritage while rejuvenating its downtown in the 1990s, and the result was the creation of a thriving night life and shopping district in Bricktown. Whether you're returning from a night exploring Bricktown or a long day attending a business convention, a refreshing soak in a hot tub is irresistibly inviting. Oklahoma City offers several hotels that are conveniently located to Oklahoma City's most alluring attractions with whirlpools or jetted tubs in their guest rooms.
The Colcord Hotel is located within Oklahoma City's first skyscraper, constructed by Charles Francis Colcord in 1910. The hotel retains some of Colcord's original decor, such as the lobby's chandelier, while providing modern amenities for guests, such as the lobby's information screen, which displays current flight and weather information. The National Register of Historic Places designated the Colcord an American landmark in 1976. The Colcord offers a bathroom furnished with a jetted tub in its 650-square foot Colcord Suite, and the suite's living area provides a pair of easy chairs, plush sofa and a 42-inch flat screen television.
The Grandison Inn is a Victorian home that was built in 1904, and the current owners have restored its interiors and furnishings while adding whirlpool tubs to most of its eight guest rooms. Each room has a DVD player and guests are welcome to borrow titles from the Inn's library. The Grandison offers services, such as in-room massages for an additional fee, and its packages include offerings, such as its Honeymoon Hideaway, which provides couples with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries along with rose petals and floating candles to enhance the romantic ambience of the whirlpool. The Grandison is located downtown, one mile from the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall.
Marriott's downtown Courtyard hotel offers whirlpool tubs in the larger guest rooms furnished with a single king-sized bed. The hotel provides complimentary local newspapers every weekday and room rates include the Courtyard Grille's breakfast buffet, where guests can enjoy fresh waffles from the Waffle Station and eggs cooked to their specifications by the Grille's attendants. The Courtyard is located next door to the Oklahoma City Arena, home court of the NBA's Thunder, directly across the street from the Cox Convention Center and one block from the city's Myriad Botanical Gardens.
The Sheraton's 12 suites are all furnished with jacuzzis and have a separate bedroom, living room and dining room. Diners can enjoy southwestern cuisine in the Sheraton's 1889 Land Run Cafe unitl 10 p.m. and the hotel offers room service 24 hours a day. Visitors will find major attractions within easy walking distance, with the Cox Convention Center across the street from the hotel, the Myriad Botanical Gardens one block away and the Oklahoma City Arena two blocks from the hotel. The Sheraton is also two blocks from 30 different clubs and restaurants within Oklahoma City's Bricktown entertainment district for travelers who'd like to enjoy the city's night life.
