By Gabriel Circiog, Associate Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

The historic Osler Building will reopen next year as a boutique hotel under the Ambassador flag, NewsOK.com<\/em> reports. Ambassador Hotels is on track to close on the acquisition of the seven-story property next month and start renovations soon afterward. Located at 1200 N. Walker, the Osler Building has been empty since MidTown Renaissance Group acquired the property in 2006. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MidTown Renaissance\u00a0 originally planned to convert the Osler Building into a multi-family property, but the Osler\u2019s tight, U-shaped floor plans and column spacing pose challenges for multi-family conversion, explained Chris Fleming, a MidTown Renaissance partner.<\/p>\n

When it opens late next year, the hotel will offer 54 guest rooms, a ground-floor restaurant, a rooftop bar and a courtyard and pool on the east side of the property. New\u00a0stairway and elevator towers will\u00a0permit a better use of the building\u2019s floor plates. Coury\u2019s plan eliminates the multiple kitchens requuired for an apartment complex,\u00a0and generally offers a better fit for both the building and the community, Fleming added.<\/p>\n

Coury opened the first Ambassador Hotel in Tulsa in 1999, and in 2006 acquired the Colcord, a\u00a0Tulsa office building, which he converted into a boutique hotel. The Colcord Hotel was sold to Devon Energy Center in 2008 and since then, Coury has branded each new property as an Ambassador.<\/p>\n

The second Ambassador Hotel opened in Kansas City\u2019s Power and Light District following an $11 million renovation of the 96-year-old Grand Bank Building. A 117-room Ambassador\u00a0 in Wichita is scheduled to open next month. Signature features of the properties include restaurants operated in house rather than by outside vendors.<\/p>\n
