TFA SNEAK-A-PEEK:
The Tulsa Club Hotel in Partnership with Goff Fest
Sunday, June 9, 2024
$20 | $15 | First Entry at 1:00
Tulsa boasts a wide variety of impressive buildings throughout the city – many of which few people have an opportunity to see inside. The goal of TFA’s SNEAK-A-PEEK program is to give those who love architecture and history an opportunity to see behind the doors of Tulsa’s most interesting buildings through self-guided exploration with accompanying written information about the property’s history.
This SNEAK-A-PEEK features the architecturally distinctive Tulsa Club Hotel in partnership with Goff Fest!
Designed by renowned Art Deco architect Bruce Goff and constructed in 1927, the 11-floor, 92,000-square-foot high-rise featured unique and intricate designs. Club members enjoyed ornate, mosaic fireplaces, and indoor recreation alongside architectural oddities like Goff’s famous echoing corridor. The crown jewel of the club was decidedly the Grand Ballroom on the ninth floor. With its two-story ceilings, velvet drape curtains, and endless imbibing—this was the epitome of Tulsa highlife.
The building was originally constructed with a steel structure, which was then clad in Bedford limestone, laid in a vertical zigzag, Art Deco pattern. Steel casement windows that opened outward were aligned between pylons of stone to form a vertical stripe design extending the height of the building. The eleventh floor was set back from the main facade, creating a three-sided roof terrace called the “Sky Terrace.”
After years of vacancy, the Ross Group and Promise hotels embarked on a stunning $36 million dollar renovation that began in 2015 to restore the property to its former glory! The hotel opened formally in 2019 under the Curio Collection by Hilton brand and is one of downtown Tulsa’s greatest preservation success stories!
Join us on June 9th from 1:00-4:00 to view The Tulsa Club Lobby, Chamber Restaurant, Ballroom, Sky Terrace, and a selection of stunning guest rooms that are typically not open to the public!
