The National & Ambassador Hotel Oklahoma City, Autograph Collection
Oklahoma
Partner Plus Media recently had the privilege of creating bespoke Hotel Storybooks for both The National Hotel and Ambassador Hotel. These two distinctive properties each have their own character, history, and connection to the city, while both form part of the Autograph Collection of luxury hotels.
Each hotel received its own beautifully produced Storybook, created as a considered extension of the guest experience. While the two publications share a cohesive creative direction, every detail, from color palette and imagery to editorial content and local recommendations, was carefully tailored to reflect the individual identity of each property.
The result is a premium publication designed to sit naturally within the hotel environment, inspire discovery, and give guests a deeper connection to both the property and Oklahoma City.
The Hotels
At the heart of downtown Oklahoma City, The National Hotel occupies one of the city's most remarkable historic buildings. Beautifully restored and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1931 First National Bank office tower brings together architectural heritage, contemporary luxury, and a vibrant collection of experiences under one roof.
From Stock & Bond and Tellers to The Great Hall Bar, The Gilded Acorn, and The Vault, the hotel offers guests an exceptional selection of dining, social, and cultural experiences, complemented by luxury accommodation, distinctive retail, and impressive event spaces.
Ambassador Hotel offers a very different expression of the city, with its own distinctive personality, atmosphere, and sense of place. Located within the historic 1920s Osler Building in Midtown Oklahoma City, Ambassador Hotel is an Oklahoma City original reinvented for the modern traveler, where guests enjoy fine dining and luxury accommodation at this Art Deco landmark.
Both properties embody the individuality that defines the Autograph Collection, and this became the foundation for the Storybooks we created.
Creating Something Worth Picking Up
Our objective was simple: to create a publication that felt as considered as the hotels themselves. Rather than producing a conventional directory, we approached each Storybook as an editorial piece combining thoughtful storytelling, high-quality photography, carefully curated recommendations, and an elegant design language reflective of the property.
Working closely with the hotel teams, we brought together the hotels’ own luxury experiences, dining, amenities, and facilities with a hand-selected collection of high-end local businesses, from entertainment and wellness to real estate and car rentals, and so much more.
Designed in-house and printed to the highest quality standards, the result is something that is not only genuinely useful, but also something guests will want to pick up and explore throughout their stay.
Connecting the Hotel with the Destination
A great hotel experience does not end at the front door. These Storybooks were created to encourage guests to discover more of what Oklahoma City has to offer, introducing them to places to dine, shop, explore, and experience during their stay.
For participating local businesses, the publications provide a highly relevant opportunity to place their brand directly in front of visitors staying at two of the city's leading luxury hotels.
For the hotels, they are another touchpoint within the guest journey, offering recommendations that feel personal, considered, and locally relevant.
And for guests, they provide a beautifully curated introduction to the destination, created specifically with their stay in mind.
It is a simple idea with a powerful result: bringing the hotel, the guest, and the destination closer together.
Celebrating the Launch at The National
To mark the completion of the project, we brought the hotel teams and participating local businesses together for a special launch event at The National.
It was the first opportunity for everyone involved to see the finished Storybooks in their final form and to experience the quality, detail, and thought that had gone into bringing them to life. For the participating businesses, seeing their brands and stories presented within the finished publication was a particularly rewarding moment.
The event also provided an opportunity for the hotels and local businesses to connect, build relationships, and celebrate the creation of a successful project and collective role they play within Oklahoma City's hospitality landscape.
The Finished Storybooks
From the architectural grandeur of The National to the distinctive character of Ambassador Hotel, each Storybook has been designed to reflect the personality of its hotel while celebrating the city beyond its doors.
The publications demonstrate what can happen when hospitality, local businesses, and thoughtful editorial storytelling are brought together with a clear purpose.
For the hotels, the Storybooks provide a premium addition to the guest experience.
For local businesses, they create a meaningful opportunity to reach visitors at one of the most valuable points in their journey, while they are actively looking for recommendations.
And for guests, they offer an elegant, curated introduction to the hotel and the destination, giving them inspiration they can return to throughout their stay.
More than a guide, each Storybook becomes part of the stay itself.
Bringing Your Hotel's Story to Life
Every hotel has a story. Our role is to tell that story and to share it with your guests and your community in a publication that feels worthy of the property.
A bespoke Hotel Storybook can showcase your hotel, strengthen the guest experience, encourage discovery beyond the property, and create meaningful connections with carefully selected local businesses.
From the initial concept through to the finished publication, Partner Plus Media manages every stage of the process, with the project fully funded through our carefully selected local partners, requiring no financial investment from the hotel.
The result is a premium guest publication, created specifically for your property and your destination, and delivered as a complete, fully managed experience.
Let's bring your hotel's story to life.
