From my Oklahoma City postcard collection…
The Skirvin Hotel is Oklahoma City’s oldest hotel and has been host to presidents, and me…
It opened in 1911 and is truly a grand hotel. It has been a downtown Oklahoma City landmark for years. Unfortunately it closed in the 1980s and was finally purchased by the city in 2002. The city eventually sold it and it reopened in 2007 as the Skirvin Hilton. It is absolutely beautiful now. My 20th anniversary was in May and we were given a night in the Skirvin as a gift and I can tell you that it was done right and is beautiful now. Bob Blackburn has done probably the best history of the Skirvin.
