Select Living Properties understands that for the professional equestrian, the NSBA World Championship Show is more than just a competition; it is a marathon of focus, precision, and endurance. From August 13–23, 2026, Tulsa becomes the global epicenter of the horse world, drawing elite exhibitors and their families to the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square.
While the action inside the arena is high-intensity, your experience outside of it shouldn't be. For those planning to stay for the duration, including the official move-in starting August 10, the traditional hotel experience often falls short. After ten days of dust, early mornings, and high-stakes performance, a cramped hotel room can start to feel like a cage rather than a sanctuary.
We believe in boutique over basic. We believe your home-away-from-home should be a thoughtfully curated retreat that offers sophisticated comfort and a sense of calm. If you are seeking a luxury airbnb in Tulsa that mirrors the high standards of the NSBA circuit, you’ve found your destination.
The NSBA Experience: Why a 10-Day Stay Demands More
The 2026 NSBA World Show is an extensive event. Between the Markel Insurance NSBA Hunter Derby on the 13th and the final "Round-Up at the Watering Hole" on the 22nd, you are looking at nearly two weeks on the ground in Tulsa.
For horsetravelers, business professionals, and the repeat guests who frequent our properties, we know that "luxury" isn't just about a high price tag, it’s about the attention to detail. It’s about having high-quality linens to sink into after a 14-hour day, a private kitchen for healthy meals, and a quiet neighborhood where the only sound is the wind through the tree-lined streets.
Where to stay for the NSBA World Show in Tulsa?
When choosing your lodging, proximity to Expo Square is non-negotiable. However, staying too close often means sacrificing the quiet and refinement of Midtown. Our properties strike the perfect balance: a 5-minute drive to the arena, yet nestled in the most prestigious and historic pockets of the city. We also have plenty of parking for your big rigs. Just let us know ahead of time so we can map it out for you.

The Midtown Advantage: Dining and Culture
One of the primary benefits of choosing a Select Living Property is our location in the heart of Midtown. While Expo Square is the hub of the show, Midtown is the heart of Tulsa's social and culinary scene.
Utica Square: Summer’s Fifth Night
If your stay overlaps with a Thursday, you are in luck. Utica Square hosts "Summer’s Fifth Night," a series of free outdoor concerts. It is a favorite for locals and sophisticated travelers alike. The atmosphere is vibrant yet refined, perfect for a post-show evening of relaxation.

A mere 5 minutes from our front doors lies Cherry Street, famous for its vibrant nightlife and historic charm.
