Notes: Located at 35 North Main Street, Miami, Okla., the seven-story, 150-room Miami Hotel opened c. 1917 and was managed by J. J. Rubenstahl through the mid-1920s. For the next two decades, the hotel was managed by Russell James. By 1948, the room count dropped to 125; and in 1951 it dropped to 100, when the hotel became a Wyman Hotel. In 1956 it was an Alsonett Hotel. The Miami Hotel was not listed in the 1965 Hotel Red Book.

After the hotel closed, it became senior living space. At some point the name was changed to the Miami Towers and today (2011) is a continued care community.
