Oklahoma City KEY - Concierge of the Month

Janet Chouteau
Lexington Hotel

PROFILE: Janet has been involved in hotel operations for over five years and just recently took a new position at the Lexington Hotel on Meridian. Janet considers Oklahoma City one of the friendliest cities in the country. The favorite aspect of her job is the opportunity to meet a lot of different people every day, especially when different events come through the city.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: "My first recommendation for a great steak dinner is Cattlemen's Steakhouse. I believe their steak is the best in OKC! Cattlemen's is located right in the heart of historic Stockyards City. The location is close to the hotel and easy for guests to find—and they always come back satisfied.

Not only will you get a great steak, but a great look at Oklahoma history as well. Cattlemen's is an Oklahoma treasure that has been going strong since 1910. The chef serves everything from lamb fries to steaks that are hand-cut and aged at the restaurant. Don't stop with the steak—top it off with a piece of coconut pie."

FAVORITE OKC EVENT: "I am a Cheyenne Arapaho Indian that was born and raised in Oklahoma. The event I look forward to the most every year is the Red Earth Festival. Everything about the event is exciting. Visitors will enjoy dancing, singing, traditional foods, beautiful costumes, amazing artwork and so much more.

The Festival begins Friday, May 23, and continues through the Memorial Day weekend. This year, visitors will have the opportunity to see the State Fairgrounds transformed into the largest tipi encampment in Oklahoma. This is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to Oklahoma City to learn about Native American history and experience Indian culture in a casual atmosphere. It's something everyone should experience!"

"Enjoy your stay and come back soon!"

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.
