The National
Grand Art Deco banking hall turned lifestyle hotel. Think soaring painted ceilings, original vault doors repurposed as bar entrances, and custom furniture that nods to the building's financial history. It draws a mix of OKC locals, business travelers, and architecture pilgrims.

Why It Matters
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the First National Center is one of the most dramatic adaptive reuse projects in the American Midwest. The Great Hall alone — with its gilded ceilings, stone columns, and all-day bar — is worth a visit even if you're not staying. There's no equivalent building or hotel experience in Oklahoma City.
The National occupies the first eight floors of the 32-story First National Center, a 1931 Art Deco skyscraper that was Oklahoma's first high-rise and once served as a major banking hub. After years sitting vacant following the oil bust, it underwent one of the largest restorations in the state's history, reopening in 2021 with 146 hotel rooms, five bars and restaurants, retail shops, and residential apartments. Original vault doors, painted ceilings, stone columns, and teller booths are all still here — you're essentially sleeping inside a landmark.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Executive Double Queen
Two queen beds in 363–478 sq ft. Same amenity set as the Executive King — custom furniture, Beekman 1802 bath products, smart TV, slow-close barn doors, and USB ports. The best option for families or groups traveling together.
2 QueensExecutive King
The entry-level room at The National, ranging from 291 to 443 sq ft. One king bed with custom furniture, slow-close barn doors, and Beekman 1802 Fresh Air bath amenities. Smart TV with casting, USB charging ports, in-room safe, iron and board, blackout shades, and complimentary WiFi.
1 King
King Suite
At 692–821 sq ft, this is a genuine suite with a separate living room and a half bath in addition to the main bedroom and full bath. King bed, custom furniture, all the standard tech amenities, and significantly more breathing room. Good for business entertaining or a splurge-worthy couple's stay.
1 KingPresidential Suite
The flagship room at 883 sq ft. One king bedroom plus a separate living room with a full dining table and a half bath — the dining table alone sets this apart from the King Suite. High ceilings, multiple connecting areas, and the full Beekman 1802 amenity package. There are 16 suites total across the property, with this as the signature.
1 KingSuperior King
A step up in size at 500–504 sq ft, still a single king configuration. Shares the same custom furniture and Beekman 1802 amenity package, but gives meaningfully more floor space. A solid upgrade for longer stays.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Complimentary fitness center accessible around the clock for hotel guests. Equipped with treadmills and weight machines.
Afternoon Tea service in The Great Hall, themed around the building's history. Guests report a butterbeer option and a selection of pastries in a visually dramatic setting. More Instagram-friendly than a traditional high tea, but a fun experience.
Entering the original bank vault doors into a speakeasy cocktail bar is an experience unique to this property. Worth doing as a standalone activity, not just a stop for drinks.
Multiple flexible event spaces including the Eagle Boardroom and Beacon Event Venue, plus a ballroom for weddings and larger events.
The First National Center building houses a collection of retail shops accessible from the hotel, ranging from a boot maker to designer boutiques, a barbershop, nail bar, and blowout bar. Guests can explore without leaving the building.
