Will Rogers World Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Will Rogers World Airport is about 10 km from downtown Oklahoma City and has no rail link: you get there by car, taxi or rideshare in about 15 minutes. For a dawn flight or a late-night arrival, the hotels along SW 15th Street near the terminal save you the trip. Those who want to experience the city will find the most characterful hotels in the historic downtown, or in Bricktown, the canal district with bars, restaurants and the baseball stadium, linked to the rest of downtown by the OKC Streetcar tram.
