Fodor's Expert Review Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City

Billed as the grande dame of Oklahoma hotels, the Skirvin has had more than a century of practice to earn top billing with business and leisure travelers alike. A massive lobby flanked with enormous red theater curtains and complemented by a red piano create a fitting prelude to the lodging experience at this downtown property. Meticulously restored in 2007 with contemporary elements like reconfigured guest rooms and new elevators, the hotel's architects have preserved historical elements like crown moldings and ceiling tiles. There's an on-site restaurant, and the lounge has live music Tuesday through Saturday.
