I want to go on this tour. This family brought the Mayo hotel back to life after more than a decade of sitting dormant. Now they are building another hotel in another vacant building.

They are stepping up and spending millions to renovate this building and adding new restaurants at the same time.

I thank them for doing it. The fact that tax dollars are being spent to open the street for access is irrelevant to me. The Fire department insists on it to make it a hotel.

I went on a tour a few weeks ago, I was very impressed. the rooms are one of a kind to Tulsa, great floor to ceiling windows, great layouts and I think the most "cool" factor will be the lobby, XYZ bar and pool...this is going to be another gem for downtown Tulsa and a boost to the image of our city.

great floor to ceiling windows,

I am not fond of windows that go all the way down to the floor.  I like the false sense of security that a bit of solid wall above the floor level gives.  It's a lot like guard rails on a bridge.  I've never hit one but a bridge with no side guards would be spooky.

The aLoft website lists May 9th as the opening date, just a little more than a month.

The new XYZ bar/patio, built in what was previously a hole in the plaza.


5th street check in desk. They have to build another one for temporary use on the ground floor.


5th street "before" picture. The road will take out the penguin fountain then split on both sides of the staircase.


One of the rooms. Half the rooms are double beds. Run $129-$169 door rate.


Banquet area for about 350 people

Looks like it is coming along.  I completely forgot about the tour yesterday and kept painting away on a mural I was working on then remembered once I was on my way home.  Thanks for the pics!
