Just learned that the Ambassador will be the first hotel in Oklahoma -- and one of only 34 in the entire country -- to be included in the prestigious Autograph Collection by Marriott. There are 21 Autograph hotels in Europe and 7 more in various international locations.

The hotels in the Autograph Collection remain independent but get the great benefit of inclusion with other unique and excellent hotels and being marketed by Marriott and this group in particular. The hotels can also be booked through the Marriott reservation system.

From the Marriott webpage:


The Autograph Collection is a remarkable group of upper upscale and luxury independent hotels. These iconic properties are located in dynamic gateway cities and preferred destinations worldwide. Each one is unique, one of a kind and with its own distinct perspective.

For the true individualist who shuns the predictability of chains, Autograph Collection® takes the guesswork out of finding independent, high-personality destination hotels that reflect the adventurous spirit and uncompromising originality of the guests who seek them out.

The Guest Profile: The Individualist
Prefers to find their own way and forge their own paths
Shuns convention, rejects the familiar, seeks the road less traveled and the choice less obvious
Searches for original experiences that add to their lifelong narrative and sense of adventure
Views the hotel as the focal point of the journey; what they see along the way is an added bonus

Awesome! Now I can use my points to stay there!

That is a great accomplishment for them. Will no doubt increase bookings for them, by showing availability through the Marriott reservation system.

Awesome news.

Very cool! Should really elevate the ambassador.

So is this our full service, high end Marriott or is that still looking like new construction in Bricktown?

Awesome. The Ambassador is a first class hotel. OKC is lucky to have it.

Will raise OKC's exposure as a destination as well.

Exclusive company.

No, the proposed Bricktown Marriott is completely separate.

Jeff mentioned to me that was in the works when he gave me a tour in March. I'm glad to see it's been finalized.

Looks like Oklahoma City will follow sometime after the Tulsa property, which starts in early October.

O Bar just posted on Facebook they have a new menu where they've dropped their prices across the board and added some local beers.

That's great to hear! I love the location but had reservations about going there because of both of things you just mentioned Pete.

All decked out for Christmas:
