Sulphur’s Grand Oasis: The Artesian Hotel, Spa & Casino (Plus Local Coffee & Mountain Finds!)

Sulphur’s Grand Oasis: The Artesian Hotel, Spa & Casino (Plus Local Coffee & Mountain Finds!)

This week on the Only in OK Show, we’re heading down to Sulphur, Oklahoma, to explore a true landmark: The Artesian Hotel, Spa & Casino!

Originally built in 1906 as a hot spot for celebrities and politicians before a devastating fire in 1962, this historic jewel was reimagined in 2013 to blend vintage charm with high-end modern luxury. Sitting right across from the stunning Chickasaw National Recreation Area, The Artesian features 81 luxuriously appointed rooms, world-class amenities, and so much more.

Here’s a look at what we cover in this episode:

  • Luxe Accommodations: From window-seat Standard Kings to the extravagant Art Deco Hollywood Suite and multi-room Governor’s Suite—complete with plush linens and Bedré Fine Chocolates on your pillow.

  • Elevated Dining & Treats: High-end comfort food and craft cocktails at The Fountain Club, fresh lunches at Bedré Café, sweet frozen yogurt at Sweet Swirlz & More, and custom tea blends from The Spice & Tea Exchange.

  • Relaxation & Fun: Why Sole’renity Spa earned a Top 100 ranking in America (plus their BHG-recognized "Little Soles" kids spa!), unique boutique shopping, and late-night entertainment at The Artesian Casino.

The Real Star of the Show & Local Finds: You know we run on caffeine and local love! We hit the jackpot on Broadway Avenue at Cup & Crumb (2002 West Broadway), where we sampled everything from Caramel White Mocha and Lotus Energy drinks to homemade Grandma’s Thumbprint cookies and grilled Chicken Bacon Avocado Paninis. Plus, we took a stroll down historic Muskogee Street to check out Bromide Mountain Co. for outdoor gear, Patagonia apparel, and unique Arbuckle Mountain gifts.

Whether you're looking for the ultimate southern Oklahoma weekend getaway or the best local coffee in town, Sulphur is definitely worth the drive!
