Skirvin Hilton Hotel

What Skirvin Hilton Hotel does

Skirvin Hilton Hotel is a historic luxury hotel operating as a single full-service property in downtown Oklahoma City at One Park Avenue and Broadway, founded in 1911 by W.B. Skirvin as the largest hotel in the Midwest. The property was restored and reopened in 2007 under the Hilton brand umbrella, and underwent a further comprehensive restoration completed in 2025 through a partnership between Ortus Hospitality and the Chickasaw Nation. The property offers 225 guest rooms across 12 floors, ranging from standard king and queen rooms (307-400 sq ft) to the 1,500 sq ft Governor Suite and 670 sq ft Rotunda Suite, including mobility and hearing accessible options.

The hotel's revenue model rests on four streams: guest room rentals (the primary stream), food and beverage across three distinct concepts—Perle Mesta fine dining by James Beard award-winning Chef Andrew Black, Red Piano Lounge with live music, and Boom Town Creamery—plus 18,500+ square feet of event space including the 6,120 sq ft Grand Ballroom, 2,600 sq ft Venetian Room, and multiple smaller boardrooms. Ancillary revenue is generated through valet parking ($40/night), pet fees ($75-$125), and a ticketed entertainment series (Skirvin Jazz Club). Distribution runs through Hilton's central reservation system and the Hilton Honors loyalty program, supplemented by direct booking on the property's own website and third-party OTAs.

Customer segments are diversified across business travelers, event hosts and wedding couples, leisure tourists (including Route 66 heritage travelers), and local dining guests. Technology infrastructure is standard for a Hilton-branded property: integrated PMS, the Hilton Honors loyalty layer, website booking engine with WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, and FareHarbor for event ticketing. No AI/ML capabilities are evident in the disclosed data.
