Shopping. Dining. Luxury rooms. The First National Center offers it all, whether you’re looking for a girls’ weekend getaway, a romantic retreat, or short family staycation.
Choose your weekend stay at The National via their easy online reservation center. Booking direct ensures you’ll receive the best-rate guarantee, access to the hotel’s high-speed internet, and even a late checkout.
This beautiful historic building, originally built in 1931, offers some of OKC’s most luxurious accommodations, making your stay a memorable and photographic one.
But what I love most of all about this destination—especially summertime, when the weather here can be miserably hot—is that you truly don’t even need to leave the hotel to access some of OKC’s best dining, drinking and shopping!
As far as dining, I recommend enjoying a variety of craft cocktail options in the architecturally magnificent Great Hall (if you’re not an alcohol drinker, they have excellent mocktails on their menu, too), grabbing lunch at the Library of Distilled Spirits (we highly recommend their Crab Tostadas and their tacos!), reserving a table for dinner at Stock and Bond (The First National Center’s classic steakhouse with traditional dishes and High Plains steak paired with American whiskey), and brunching at Teller’s to enjoy live jazz music while you dine. Another place you’ll want to check out is The Gilded Acorn, which serves excellent coffee provided in an elegant atmosphere. (Tip: give their quiche a try!)
The National’s bottom floor is sprinkled with shopping experiences, such as OKC’s native concept, Plenty Mercantile, which prides itself on stocking its shelves with sustainable goods and gifts. Other options include Lucchese Bootmaker and—coming soon—King Ranch.
Between shopping locations is Drybar OKC, where you can treat yourself to a self-care moment with a blowout and a manicure at Paint Nail Bar.
When you’re ready to brave the heat, there’s lots to do without having to travel far. From Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park to the Bricktown Brewery, there are plenty of fun activities to enjoy nearby.
