Imagine spending the night in a castle, not in Europe, but right in Oklahoma. The Franklin Castle, nestled in the heart of downtown Tahlequah, offers a stay like no other, combining the charm of medieval architecture with luxury modern amenities. This impeccably restored historic landmark is not just a feast for the eyes but also a gateway to an array of local attractions.
Located just one block from the town center, guests at The Franklin Castle are within walking distance of a vibrant selection of shops, restaurants, museums, and parks. The area is bustling with activity and local culture, offering an enriching experience whether you're in town for relaxation or exploration.
The castle's proximity to multiple lakes, hiking and bike trails, and the scenic Illinois River—famous for its float trips—makes it a prime location for nature lovers seeking adventure.
The castle is a luxurious retreat featuring three queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a majestic king room with an en-suite bath. Each room is furnished with brand-new, tastefully chosen decor that enhances the medieval feel while providing all the comforts of modern living.
Each of the castle turrets has been cleverly utilized, creating several intimate sitting areas perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, catching up on work, or having a quiet conversation.
Outside, the patio area is an enchanting space where guests can barbecue or gather around the fire pit. The views from here are spectacular, overlooking NSU, a branch of the river, and the downtown area, offering a picturesque backdrop for an evening of leisure or a special gathering.
For those planning a more formal event, Franklin Castle also includes a wedding chapel available for rent, making it an ideal venue for celebrating those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a truly unique setting.
Staying at The Franklin Castle is more than just a night's accommodation—it's an immersive experience that blends historic elegance with contemporary luxury. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a special venue to celebrate, The Franklin Castle in Tahlequah invites you to live like royalty, if only for a night.
