What is the District Hotel?
The District Hotel, located at 2200 NW 40th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73112, is a notable establishment within the city’s LGBTQ+ community. Formerly known as the Habana Inn, the hotel has a rich history dating back to the 1970s, when it became a central hub for LGBTQ+ nightlife along NW 39th Street, also referred to as “The Strip.” This area has long been recognized as a prominent LGBTQ+ district in Oklahoma City.
The hotel offers a variety of amenities, including two outdoor pools, a lounge bar, and proximity to several nearby nightclubs and bars, making it a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors. Its location within the NW 39th Street Enclave places it at the heart of one of the largest LGBTQ+ districts in the Great Plains and central United States.
In recent years, The District Hotel has undergone renovations to enhance its facilities while maintaining its commitment to serving the LGBTQ+ community. It continues to be a popular destination for those seeking an inclusive and welcoming environment in Oklahoma City.
