CITADEL OF FRONTIER GENTILITY
The historic Artesian Hotel was a Sulphur landmark and tourist destination for travelers and movie stars. The five-story hotel initially opened in 1906 and included furnishings built for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. During construction, the builders, J.M. Bayless and C. J. Webster, decided to change the name from the New Windsor to the Artesian after striking a large well on the property.
The Artesian had one of the largest hotel lobbies in the west in that era, complete with marble floors and mosaic tile. Massive columns greeted the thousands of guests who stayed at the hotel during its 56-years history. Early guests of the hotel included Carrie Nation, William Howard Taft, John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and William Murray. The hotel also served as the summer home of Oklahoma’s first governor, Charles Haskell.
By the 1940s, the Artesian Bathhouse was in full operation. Tragedy struck in 1962 when the Artesian Hotel burned to the ground after a fire started in the lounge. The Artesian was rebuilt by 1965 as a travel lodge. After falling into foreclosure, the Artesian was purchased by the Chickasaw Nation in 1972, and was the first business owned and operated by the tribe.
Ground was broken in 2010 to rebuild and restore the Artesian Hotel to its former glory. Constructed with great attention to detail, the Artesian Hotel offers 81 luxuriously appointed guest rooms, a full-service spa, a restaurant and lounge, indoor and outdoor pools, and a casino, as well as a bathhouse designed to mimic the hotel’s historic spa.
