The Atherton Hotel at Oklahoma State University

The Atherton at Oklahoma State University is a Georgian-style gem that originally opened in 1951 as the Union Club. Boasting the latest in comfort and convenience, it even offered ice water on tap in every room. Over the past fifty years, the beloved property has hosted countless alumni and visitors and served as the backdrop for cherished family traditions and memorable events. However, unlike most of its counterparts, this gracious hotel is also a first-class, hands-on classroom for students of OSU's School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration. Oklahoma State is one of only five universities in the U.S. to offer hospitality students a hotel laboratory on campus. A recent $5 million renovation, spearheaded by OSU alum Bill Atherton, has imbued the hotel with a stately elegance and sophistication in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Atherton is dedicated to offering hospitality with quality, style and sophistication founded in a rich heritage and tradition. By providing students with the opportunity to be a part of this unique learning experience, the Atherton truly creates a legacy of distinction.
