The Atherton Hotel is a Georgian-style gem that originally opened in
1950 as the Union Club. Boasting the latest in comfort and
convenience, it even offered ice water on tap in every room. Over
the past fifty years, the beloved property has hosted countless
alumni and visitors and served as the backdrop for cherished family
traditions and memorable events. Unlike most of its counterparts,
this gracious hotel is also a first-class, hands-on classroom for
students of OSU's School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration. A
recent 6-million renovation has imbued the hotel with a stately
elegance and sophistication in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each
guest room and suite features a cozy down bedding system and 400
thread count sheeting; all equipped with high-speed internet access,
luxurious robes, and DVD players. The Atherton has three beautiful
meeting areas. The Carreker Lounge is a warm and inviting formal
reception room which features a fireplace and a state-of-the-art
digital player piano. The Jorns Executive Conference Room offers
high-speed internet connection amid wonderful woodwork in an
executive atmosphere. The Joullian Vineyard Wine Tasting Room is the
perfect place to host a casual reception or executive retreat. Rich
leather seating along with wing-backs, sofas, surround sound and an
outside veranda make this the perfect spot to relax. A brand new
part of the Atherton is Stillwater's newest, most exciting
restaurant, The Ranchers Club. The Ranchers Club offers an appealing
atmosphere of rich hardwoods, soft leather seating, eye-catching
paintings, and bronze sculptures which accentuates every exacting
detail. Guests will experience unparalleled service that is
attentive, yet unobtrusive. Whether a guest is visiting the area for
pleasure or business, The Atherton is the place to be for a
wonderful visit. The Atherton, dedicated to offering hospitality
with quality, style and sophistication founded in a rich heritage
and tradition.
