History Maintained As Downtown Tulsa Building Renovated Into New Hotel
A historic building at 4th and Boston in downtown Tulsa got a big facelift. What was once a bank in the 60s is now a new hotel.
Stepping into the Hyatt Place downtown, natural light fills the lobby through the building s original windows, while new lights shine from the ceiling.
Sunny Patel Chatterjee is a co-owner of the hotel and said she and her design team were in charge of keeping a “flow” throughout the hotel, while maintaining the history. I think Gatsby, Art Deco with a new modern touch,” she said.

Getting the Hyatt Place hotel erected and operational has been a marathon, and project partner Sunny Patel Chatterjee is grateful to reach the finish line.
âThis is a story of survival,â Chatterjee said of the undertaking, which has taken a few years. âWe could have shut the project down. I think the banks would have understood. The city would have understood you know because itâs a federal tax program.
âBut one of the best things that came out of it is that we worked through COVID. We had employees that we had to keep and their jobs didnât get lost. All of our subcontractors had committed to this. So if we had let them go, all those months they had committed to this project would have been gone.â
