It’s apparent the folks that own the Campbell Hotel, aka former Casa Loma Motel in Tulsa, are getting close to opening when they put up this retro-looking neon sign on the side of that historic building.
I shot these photos in the early evening today. The hotel, which was closed for many years, is at 2600 E. 11th St., aka Route 66.
It’s always good to have a new or restored neon sign on Route 66.
The owners are getting ready for the Designers Showcase 2011, where designers will help spruce up the hotel’s renovated rooms. The showcase is slated for April 29 to May 22.
The Max Campbell building was built in 1927, and added to the National Register of Historic Places last year. It became the the Casa Loma Hotel during the 1940s, when it also housed a barbershop, drugstore and a Safeway.
The revamped hotel will contain 26 rooms. It’s scheduled to open in June.
Hey Ron, what’s the chance of them letting you in to take a few pics for a ‘sneak peek’ and posting them?
I think that would be great to get some pics up before ‘travel season’ on Route 66 starts. It would be a win-win for the hotel…
Just a thought.
Nice find!!
I might do that shortly after the Designer Showcase starts. Right now, a ton of work is still being done to the hotel.
