The 'Invisible Man' design tribute to author Ralph Ellison is thoughtful, not cheesy
Rooftop pool and bar offer some of the best sunset views in OKC
Milo restaurant serves legitimate Oklahoman cuisine (sorghum, local beef) by a Top Chef finalist
En bref : It’s the coolest hotel in OKC, but the 'City View' rooms might just give you a panoramic vista of the Whole Foods parking lot.
Évalué par @unapologeticallyseasoned : I was blown away by how stylish this spot is! The rooftop pool is a total vibe for summer drinks, and the dinner at Milo was honestly 10/10. It’s the perfect base for exploring OKC or just staying in for a luxe weekend.
