Oklahoma - Tulsa

Hotel Ambassador

During Oklahoma's oil boom years, a number of Tulsa's wealthy citizens made the Ambassador Hotel their temporary home while building mansions and estates in neighboring Maple Ridge. Built in 1929, the grand ten-story Mediterranean hotel reopened in 1999 following a multi-million dollar restoration and renovation. The refurbished, European-style interiors are richly furnished in blue, burgundy and gold, and a palladian motif runs throughout the hotel. A Tulsa landmark, the Ambassador was originally developed by General Patrick Jay Hurley, who went on to become Secretary of War under President Hoover and later served as Ambassador to China and Iran. A library on the main floor displays memorabilia from Hurley's distinguished career and a reproduction of landscapes painted by his son, the artist Wilson Hurley.
