Venue: The Skirvin Hilton
The Skirvin Hilton is a historic hotel located in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City. For over a century, this landmark hotel has accommodated some of the world’s most influential people, from presidents and politicians to actors and athletes. In 2007, the famous Skirvin building was architecturally restored to ensure that it remains a historically significant landmark in the Oklahoma City landscape.
The Skirvin Hilton is the go-to venue for business people, event hosts, and party-goers alike. With spectacular ballrooms and lavish boardrooms, the Skirvin Hilton’s meeting and event space is ideal for just about any event. And with a hands-on events services team to organize and/or run the show, Skirvin Hilton events are happily hassle- and headache-free.
For the business traveler, the Skirvin Hilton’s hotel business center provides a highly efficient and effective work environment with a variety of services, office equipment, and high-speed Internet access. Health-conscious guests will enjoy working out on the latest cardio and strength equipment in the fitness center before taking a dip in the heated indoor pool.
And because all of that work or play will surely build up an appetite, the Skirvin Hilton offers two on-location options for dining and imbibing. The Park Avenue Grill is full of Southwestern charm and American cuisine with a Southern twist. The Red Piano Bar is all about smooth, live jazz and signature cocktails.
Regardless of the reason behind your stay at the Skirvin Hilton, our goal is to make your experience comfortable, relaxing and, most of all, memorable.
