An index of hotels worth describing
Sixteen hotels.
Four very different ideas of a room.
Tulsa Creative Network is an independent index of hotels grouped by what makes them unusual: art hotels, capsule hotels, casino hotels and ice hotels. Each property gets a written description — where it stands, what the building does, what a night there is like.
No ratings, no reviews, no booking engine. Just the four categories, four hotels in each, described in plain prose.
The four categories
Every hotel on the site belongs to one of these, and the colour follows it through the index.

How this index is written
Each entry is written from what is publicly known and durable about a property: its setting, its building, the shape of its rooms, the way it is used. We avoid numbers that go stale — counts of rooms, prices, opening hours — because an index that ages badly is worse than no index at all.
We do not publish star ratings or reviews, and we do not aggregate anyone else’s. A hotel is either interesting enough to describe or it is not on the site.
What this site is not
It is not a booking agent. There is no reservation form here and no availability data; when you have decided on somewhere, you go to the hotel or to whichever service you normally use.
Nobody pays to appear. The four casino hotels are a fixed roster, and the other twelve were chosen by us. If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Start anywhere
The categories do not run in an order and nothing here builds on anything else. Read the ice hotels first if that is what brought you.
