The Ellison Reception in Oklahoma City
Double Dash Icon

Your
Neighborhood Hotel

The Ellison invites you to relax in comfort, day or night, or make us your home base as you explore what it’s like to immerse yourself in Oklahoma City.

Nestled between Northwest Oklahoma City’s most vibrant neighborhoods, The Ellison is an experiential lifestyle boutique hotel that celebrates the myriad of creative aspects of Oklahoma life.

Oklahoma City is a destination unlike anywhere else. Ours is a history of loss and growth, resilience and necessity, curiosity and world-class charm. At every turn, The Ellison Hotel is connected to the people, culture, and stories that make us who we are.

Our namesake—native Oklahoman and celebrated novelist Ralph Ellison—represents Oklahoma’s broader story of offbeat creativity and determined character. He told stories that challenge, compel, and inspire. Oklahoma has always been home to storytellers, and the legacy of this land has been carried throughout generations. We honor all those who came before us and the Ellisons of our time by continuing to tell Oklahoma’s story today.

Learn more about Ralph Ellison’s legacy and the Ralph Ellison Foundation below.
