A visit to the HOTEL WHITING is a unique experience at a very original HISTORIC PROPERTY located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. There are 20 restored hotel rooms. They are not “over-restored” by gutting and building back all new. Instead, the building has the unreproducible charm of a true CAREFUL RESTORATION.
Originally BUILT IN 1920 as a commercial apartment building, HOTEL WHITING retains the layout of the original 11 COMMERCIAL UNITS on the ground floor. With the exception of the north-most unit that serves as the HOTEL WHITING LOBBY, all of these units are occupied by stores that sell quality apparel, antiques, furs, art, jewelry, etc. On the 2nd floor, above the commercial units, the original 20 apartments have carefully transitioned into 20 HISTORIC HOTEL ROOMS over the last few decades, without disturbing the original layout, trim, doors, etc. The rooms are perfectly suited for this role due to interior hotel hallway access, spacious closets, kitchenettes, full bathrooms, living areas, etc…..and some units even have a separate additional bedroom.
