The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection By Hilton - A hilltop hotel with rooftop terrace views and campus-inspired architecture

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the University of Kansas campus, this Lawrence hotel features native limestone architecture that blends collegiate gothic style with contemporary elegance. The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection By Hilton offers rooms equipped with 55-inch HDTVs, granite bathrooms, small fridges, electronic safes, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Dining venues include Rock & Hawk sports restaurant serving elevated game-day fare, and The Nest rooftop bar operating Thursday through Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM. The property houses 18000 square feet of event space, including the only rooftop venue in Lawrence. The Tapestry Collection hotel includes a state-of-the-art fitness center and an on-site KU merchandise shop, 1865 KU Boutique. Located within 0.5 miles of Spencer Museum of Art and KU Natural History Museum, the hotel provides underground self-parking for $20 per day.

Pros

Direct views of Memorial Stadium and campus landmarks from rooftop terrace

Native limestone construction reflects authentic local architecture

Pet-friendly accommodation for animals up to 50 pounds

Condo-style room layouts with private terraces available

Cons

34 miles from Forbes Field airport

Parking incurs additional daily fee

“The Oread Lawrence emphasizes its proximity to the University of Kansas. The rooftop bar stands out, promising memorable views and crafted drinks. While the architecture blends history with modern design, some may find the execution cold. With event spaces and dining options, the hotel aims to be a campus hub, but appears to miss the mark on guest comfort.”
