When The Mayo Hotel opened in 1925, it quickly became one of Tulsa’s most iconic landmarks. Built by brothers John and Cass Mayo, the 18-story property embodied the spirit of the oil boom era and stood as a hub of elegance, luxury, and hospitality. Presidents, celebrities, and leaders once passed through its grand lobby, leaving behind stories that became part of Tulsa’s cultural fabric. Nearly a century later, that legacy is being reimagined through 1925, the hotel’s newest restaurant and bar, born from a vision of honoring history while creating something new for today’s Tulsa.
For owner Macy Snyder-Amatucci, the project is as much about stewardship as it is about innovation. Her family’s dedication to preserving The Mayo Hotel inspired every detail of 1925, from the Art Deco design touches to the warm, sophisticated atmosphere. “It’s a continuation of the story,” she notes, describing the restaurant as an extension of the hotel’s legacy of hospitality while offering a modern space for the community to gather.
Bringing that vision to life is Executive Chef Cameron Werry, who worked closely with Snyder-Amatucci to craft a dining experience that feels historically grounded yet modern. “The name honors the year The Mayo Hotel opened. Macy and her family wanted the restaurant to be deeply rooted in that history,” Werry explains. For him, the process began on sketch paper, envisioning not a hidden kitchen, but a space that placed chefs at the center of the guest experience.
That concept evolved into a restaurant where guests don’t just dine—they engage. The open design encourages conversations between chefs and diners, fostering what Werry calls a “holistic experience” meant to create lasting memories. His menu reflects that philosophy: dishes that are timeless, intentional, and inspired by personal storytelling rather than fleeting trends.
The journey from concept to completion spanned over a year of planning, culminating in a three-month buildout that transformed the vision into reality. The result is a space that blends The Mayo Hotel’s historic grandeur with a fresh culinary program—one Tulsa has already embraced. Guests have offered glowing feedback, and 1925 has quickly earned its place in the city’s dining scene, not only as a restaurant but as an extension of The Mayo Hotel legacy itself.
Looking ahead, Snyder-Amatucci and Werry emphasize that 1925 is meant for every Tulsan to enjoy. As Werry puts it, “Tulsa deserves this”—a dining experience that feels welcoming to all, where guests can celebrate milestones, enjoy a night out, or simply gather with friends.
Nearly 100 years after The Mayo Hotel first opened, 1925 carries forward its spirit of elegance and hospitality, shaping new memories for a new generation while honoring those who came before.
