Mayo Hotel, Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the National Register of Historic Places
Mayo Hotel is a four-star hotel in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and housed in a multi-story building from the early 20th century. The property contains renovated guest rooms, a ballroom, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the city center.
The Mayo Hotel opened in 1925, during Tulsa's oil boom, and was one of the tallest buildings in the state at the time of its construction. After decades of decline and closure, it was fully restored and reopened as a hotel in the 2000s.
The Mayo Hotel has long served as a gathering place for Tulsa's social and business life, and its grand lobby still gives a clear sense of how the city's elite once gathered here. The ornate ceiling and marble floors visible from the entrance reflect the tastes of early 20th-century American prosperity.
The hotel sits in the heart of downtown Tulsa, within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. Guests who want to see the historic interiors should plan to visit the lobby, which is accessible during normal business hours without a room reservation.
During the oil boom years, the Mayo Hotel hosted several US presidents and is said to have welcomed John D. Rockefeller as a guest. The penthouse suite at the top of the building was once considered the most coveted address in Tulsa.
