Oklahoma City KEY - Concierge of the Month

Anthony Lynn
Lead Gallery Host - Hyatt Place

PROFILE: Anthony has been with Hyatt Place Northwest for three and one half years. He started when the hotel was operated as its predecessor Amerisuites – before a two million dollar conversion to Hyatt Place – and is proud to be part of the amazing transformation.

He began his career in the hospitality career in maintenance, where he worked for 5 months before being promoted to lead maintenance. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to front of house. He has been a gallery host for almost three years, and while trained on all shifts, he prefers working 3 to 11 – primary check-in hours. This provides him the opportunity to meet people from around the world and share his knowledge of all the great things Oklahoma City has to offer.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: “My favorite OKC restaurant is Kang’s Asian Bistro. Kang's is a great modern Asian restaurant, Sushi Bar, and Sake Lounge featuring flavors of China, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Locally owned, the restaurant now features two locations – one in Edmond, the other just a few blocks from Hyatt Place. I love sushi – and Kang’s offers what I believe is the best in town – served by an experienced, knowledgeable waitstaff.”

NIGHT ON THE TOWN: “You have to start with Kang’s – then, depending on season, take in a game with one our minor league teams. The Redhawks – triple A affiliate of the Texas Rangers – begin their season at the Bricktown Ballpark during April. After the game, be sure to save some time to experience Bricktown, our downtown entertainment district.”

BEST VIEW: “Oklahoma is known for its abundant water and miles of shoreline – and Oklahoma City has some of the best. When you’re ready to relax and unwind - there is nothing better than catching the sunset, with sailboats on the horizon at Lake Hefner. East Wharf features several great restaurants, great drinks – and the best view in town!”

A concierge (pronounced kon-'syerzh) is the closest thing you can find to your own personal assistant in a fine hotel. The concierge in your hotel is there to make your stay in Oklahoma City more enjoyable and hassle-free. A Concierge can do more than call a cab. Through their contacts, locally, nationally, and internationally, a Concierge can:

Obtain dinner, events reservations and tickets when and where no one else can.
Set up itineraries for visiting business people.
Make suggestions for and help plan sightseeing by bus, car, driver, limousine, or on foot.
Provide access to secretarial and office services, including faxes, telexes and photocopies.
Arrange hair, barbering, nail and beauty appointments.
Call ahead to a store and have several outfits set aside if you guess wrong about the Oklahoma weather, then have your selections delivered.
Help families relocating to Oklahoma City obtain information on neighborhoods, schools, and homes.
Help with questions pertaining to other cities - you have a friend anywhere in the world where there is a Concierge.

The Concierge has grown to be a trusted resource in the finest hotels in the world. However, don't just take our word for it. Discover what a concierge can do by simply asking for assistance. You'll find that a concierge is capable of meeting the needs of every guest, no matter how discriminating. Concierges spread good will. Call a Concierge - they won't let you down! As the #1 visitor destination city in Oklahoma, Oklahoma City has lots to see and do and whether you visit the Cowboy Hall of Fame, Omniplex, National Bombing Memorial, our beautiful museums, or stroll along the River Walk in Bricktown, the concierge staff at your hotel is there to guide you.
