New Convention Center Headquarter Hotel
Connected to the new convention center and adjacent to Scissortail Park and Chesapeake Energy Arena, this new 605-room headquarters hotel for the convention center will be operated by Omni Hotel & Resorts. The full-service, four-star hotel will have six restaurants and bars with about 16,500 square feet of space, plus more than 50,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space.
Scissortail Park This 70-acre, fully programmed park will connect the core of Oklahoma City to the shore of the Oklahoma River. Construction has begun on a 40-acre section across from the new convention center site and will be completed in 2019, with the lower 30-acre portion set to open in 2021. The park will provide a variety of recreation activities, including walking/biking/running trails, picnic sites, youth sports fields, play areas and interactive water features.
Oklahoma City Streetcar Key to Oklahoma City’s connectivity will be the Oklahoma City Streetcar, which is currently under construction and will open later this year. The streetcar’s two route options—which span much of Bricktown, Midtown, Automobile Alley and the central business district—will serve 22 stops and provide easy access to many of Oklahoma City’s attractions.
