MONKEY ISLAND, Okla.
Shangri-La Resort celebrated the grand opening of its 120-room Shangri-La Resort Hotel and Conference Center on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees on Friday afternoon, June 23, 2017. According to Tulsa World, the new hotel “sits pretty much on the footprint of the old Shangri-La lakeside resort.”
The original Shangri-La resort opened in 1964, closed in 1969, reopened after a renovation in 1970 and then went bankrupt in 1986. The property previously served as a summer getaway for celebrities.
The Shangri-La Resort Hotel and Conference Center includes 8,000 square feet of conference and ballroom space and three separate restaurants. It also features 27 holes of championship golf. More information on the new Monkey Island hotel is available in this recent article from Tulsa World.
