Tulsa Ambassador Hotel: Luxury, History, and Revival
The word timeless evokes worth, history, and nostalgia. It’s a title earned, like the wisdom of the old. To be in its presence is to be transported to an era where the past was the present. People spoke differently, dressed in long-ago fashions, and listened to music that has since faded away. This was the time when Patrick Hurley had the vision to create the Ambassador Hotel in Tulsa. When he laid its cornerstones, President Herbert Hoover’s words echoed on the radio, foam rubber and Bingo were just invented, and the Great Depression had begun. Almost a century later, the Ambassador Hotel stands as a historic and luxurious landmark in Tulsa, offering guests a unique blend of past and present.

Everything in life and in this world moves. It is in some process of change. This is because change is the life blood of existence. And that blood flows continually in a a direction that is rarely the path of least resistance in order to push the most doors of growth open. As a result, it often seems we are not moving forward in life. But in actuality, our flow has just been slowed so we don’t miss seeing the many open doors that life has afforded us. – C.L. Harmon
