Historically significant. Meticulously preserved. Utterly contemporary.
Each of the historic properties the Ambassador Hotel Collection presents was conceived to be a seamless marriage of historic splendor and modern luxury.
“I can look at the shell of a building and see its potential, both structurally and in the competitive environment,” says Ambassador chairman Paul M. Coury. “Every building has a unique quality you must be true to as you endeavor to merge original architectural integrity and neighborhood with modern luxury amenities...”
This faithful attention to detail is perfectly reflected in the personalized attention that a guest encounters at each Ambassador Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kansas City, Missouri, Wichita, Kansas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Think of it as grand style and service on a truly intimate scale.
