The Skirvin Hilton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City is the city’s oldest hotel, and one of my favorite pieces of architecture that we have. Built in 1911 by William Balser Skirvin, the hotel originally featured two 10-story towers and 224 rooms, but following a major renovation project the hotel now features three 14-story towers. The Skirvin Hilton is considered to be the city’s most historic landmark, and after multiple makeovers the hotel now boasts the same beautiful gothic design exterior, but with interior patterned floors made of marble and granite, as well as many large decorated columns that stretch to the ceiling. The columns are distinguished by many detailed, gothic finishes, which I thought was really cool. While sitting in the lobby, near the Red Piano Lounge there is a very luxurious, yet laid back vibe is given off. There are swirling rumors that the hotel may be haunted due to its owner, however, it is still one of the most unique and cool hotels I’ve experienced because of all of its history, amenities, and design.
