Some stays are remembered for where you slept. Others stay with you because the building itself has a story to tell. Set within Historic Chickasaw Hall on the Murray State College campus, the 1919 Hotel brings more than a century of Tishomingo history into a thoughtfully restored boutique stay.

Heritage Preserved, Comfort Reimagined

Originally built as a dormitory, Chickasaw Hall has been renewed with respect for the character that made it a local landmark. Historic details and a warm Western sensibility meet modern comfort throughout the hotel, creating a place that feels rooted in its past without living in it.

Fourteen Rooms, Each with a Point of View

The hotel’s fourteen individually designed rooms pair quiet luxury with an unmistakable sense of place. Premium bedding, blackout drapes, climate control, high-speed Wi-Fi, and thoughtful daily touches make it easy to settle in, while the distinctive interiors keep every stay personal.

Everything Within Reach

From breakfast in the morning to bicycle rides through town, the essentials are close at hand. Guests can count on a 24-hour front desk, on-site parking, a business center, an elevator, and daily housekeeping—small conveniences that leave more room for exploring Tishomingo or simply slowing down.

A Hotel with a Living Legacy

The 1919 Hotel is more than a restored National Historic Site. Its place on the Murray State College campus connects the property to the next generation of hospitality professionals, giving this storied building a new purpose while keeping its character alive.

Whether you are visiting southern Oklahoma for a weekend away, a campus event, or time in Tishomingo, the 1919 Hotel offers a stay shaped by history, genuine welcome, and timeless comfort.
