The Ambassador Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a Mission Revival structure completed in 1929 by architect Nelle Peters. Originally conceived as a luxury "extended stay" residence for oil executives whose mansions were still under construction, the hotel was opened by General Patrick Hurley, who departed for Washington, D.C. that same year after his appointment as Secretary of War and never returned to the city. The hotel's fortunes declined sharply with the Great Depression, leading to a succession of owners and eventual vacancy lasting more than a decade. In 1999, an investment group acquired and extensively restored the property, reopening it as a boutique hotel, a positioning it has maintained through its 2014 affiliation with the Autograph Collection Hotels of Marriott International. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
