Looking For a Boutique Stay Tulsa? 10 Things to Know About Utica Square
If you are looking for a Boutique Stay in Tulsa, your search likely begins and ends in the heart of Midtown.
There is a specific kind of magic found in this part of the city: a blend of historic charm and modern refinement.
At the center of it all is Utica Square.
Whether you are here for a medical visit at St. John or Hillcrest, a business trip, or a weekend getaway, Utica Square is the premier destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
As the owners of Select Living Properties, we designed our stays at Edgewood Place and Woodward Place to reflect this exact standard of "Hushpitality": quiet, elevated, and perfectly curated.
Here are 10 things you need to know about Utica Square to make the most of your visit.
1. The Signature Garden Atmosphere
Utica Square isn't your typical shopping mall.
It is an outdoor "village" defined by its iconic clock tower, garden features, and beautiful, shade-giving walkways.
The atmosphere is intentionally calm. You won’t find the chaotic noise of a traditional retail center here. Instead, you’ll find a sophisticated environment where you can actually hear the birds chirping while you stroll between shops.
2. Summer’s Fifth Night
If you are visiting during the warmer months, Thursday nights are a must.
Summer’s Fifth Night is a cherished Tulsa tradition. Every Thursday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the square transforms into an outdoor concert venue.
Expect local bands covering everything from jazz to classic rock. It is a refined, community-focused event where guests bring lawn chairs and enjoy the evening air.
3. Premier Dining at Polo Grill
For a truly sophisticated evening, make a reservation at Polo Grill.
Known for its world-class wine cellar and impeccable service, it is the go-to spot for our guests celebrating a special occasion or hosting a business dinner.
The menu is seasonal and elevated, making it a staple of the Tulsa fine-dining scene.
4. The "Queenie’s" Morning Ritual
There is no better way to start a Midtown morning than with breakfast or coffee at Queenie’s.
This local favorite is famous for its homemade pies and hearty, sophisticated comfort food. It’s the perfect place to sit on the patio with a latte and watch the neighborhood wake up.
5. High-End & Boutique Shopping
Utica Square offers a curated mix of national luxury brands and local boutiques.
You’ll find favorites like Anthropologie, Williams Sonoma, West Elm, and Madewell.
For something uniquely Tulsa, explore the local shops like The Snow Goose for whimsical gifts or The Dolphin Fine Linens for the kind of quality you’ll also find in our Select Living guest suites.
6. Wellness and Pampering
Many of our guests are in town to recharge.
Ihloff Salon & Day Spa is located right in the square, offering high-end spa treatments that are perfect for a "reset" day.
If you prefer to move, SALT Yoga offers the best classes that cater to all levels, ensuring you don't have to break your wellness routine while traveling.
7. The Flower Gardens
One of the most photographed spots in the city is the Utica Square flower gardens.
The square is famous for its seasonal floral displays. From the vibrant tulips in the spring to the festive lights in the winter, the landscaping is maintained to a boutique, hospitality-forward standard that we deeply admire.
8. Proximity to the Medical District
If your visit to Tulsa is centered around medical needs, Utica Square is your primary hub for convenience.
It sits directly adjacent to Ascension St. John Medical Center and is just minutes from Hillcrest Medical Center.
Staying at a Select Living Property means you can walk or take a 2-minute drive to the square for a quiet lunch or a quick errand between appointments.
9. A Walkable Lifestyle
At Select Living Properties, we prioritize locations that offer a "walkable" experience.
Our Edgewood Place and Woodward Place listings are specifically chosen for their proximity to the square.
Leaving the car behind and walking through the historic, tree-lined streets of Midtown to grab dinner at Stonehorse Cafe or The Wild Fork is an experience our guests consistently rave about.
10. The Boutique Stay Advantage
Why choose a boutique rental over a standard hotel?
At Select Living Properties, we believe in the "Quality over Quantity" philosophy.
While hotels can be loud and impersonal, our homes offer:
Total Privacy: No crowded lobbies or noisy hallways.
Curated Essentials: High-thread-count linens, designer coffee, and local touches.
Seamless Communication: High-touch service from the moment you book.
When you stay with us, you aren't just booking a room; you are booking a lifestyle that matches the elegance of Utica Square itself.
