Bartlesville hotels cover the full gamut of accommodation options, from swish and swanky hotels to Bartlesville motels and other cheap Bartlesville lodging options. This is a pleasant town with a strong industrial presence, and since it's only 47 miles north of Tulsa, many find themselves staying here for both business and pleasure reasons. Whatever your reason, one of the great things about the town is that cheap Bartlesville lodging is not just of the chain variety; there are some excellent independent options here, which means research is key when choosing where to stay. Some of the following options may well help when it comes to selecting accommodation in Bartlesville.

The Bartlesville skyline is dominated by the dramatic angles of the Price Tower, the only skyscraper in architect Frank Lloyd Wright's acclaimed portfolio. It is one of the city's top attractions, and it is also by far the most upscale out of the Bartlesville hotels, as staying on the top floors of the building is a genuine possibility—as long as you have the cash, that is. Lloyd Wright designed these floors to be a cutting edge hotel, and that's exactly what they are today. The hotel's 19 guest rooms are decked out in jazzy modern furniture, and offer memorable panoramic views of the city. Another outstanding feature is the hotel's Copper Bar, which is eminently trendy and decorated in minimalist in design, and offers wonderful views from the 15th and 16th floor of the tower.

Coming down to earth a bit, La Quinta Inn is another good example of Bartlesville hotels, and although it has nowhere near the architectural exuberance of the Inn at Price Tower, its sleep-easy rooms come at much a more affordable price. The hotel's plus points include air conditioning, an indoor pool replete with spacious lounging area, a well-equipped gym, and staff known to go out of their way to get to know each and every visitor who comes through the doors. If you're looking for something even less pricey, the Econo Lodge is close by, and proves one of the better Bartlesville motels. There are 41 rooms here, making it a quiet sort of place that generally generates good reviews from those who stay.

When booking accommodation in Bartlesville, it's important to consider the festival season, which takes place in June.
