Bricktown holiday inn express
Former Dairy Building becomes bricktown hotel
The Bricktown Holiday Inn Express began, in concept, as an adaptive re-use of an existing dairy building in the heart of the historic Bricktown district. Within a historic neighborhood, this five-story building is positioned as a destination hotel and complies with Intercontinental Group Hotel standards. The heightened design standards of the Bricktown Design Review process mandated a brick facade, yet the hotel structure itself was cost-effective. The design for the building envelope drew inspiration from the surrounding brick warehouses, as well as the former dairy building, that was demolished to make way for the hotel’s construction. Within the building’s one-square-block area, designers were able to incorporate a 124-room, 16,700-square-foot hotel complete with guest suites, food service, meeting areas, fitness center and outdoor pool and recreation areas. The finishes and proportions of the final product express the quality of the Holiday Inn Express brand.
