Quapaw's Downstream Casino Resort Opens 2nd Hotel, Spa

QUAPAW, Okla. – Downstream Casino Resort has opened its second hotel, the 152-room Kappa Tower, which includes the elegant Neé Spa and other new upscale amenities. The resort has added about 100 new permanent jobs, and the hotel/spa expansion project created 400 construction jobs this year, giving a boost to the Tri-State Region’s economy.

The new Kappa Tower sits side-by-side with Downstream's original 222-room hotel tower, now named Osotouy, bringing the total room count to 374. 

"It's even more beautiful than I thought it would be. We are very excited, and we are hopeful that our guests will love it," said Downstream Chairman John Berrey. "We are also excited about how this will help strengthen the local economy with the jobs it has created and with a stronger destination tourist attraction."

Kappa Tower is a showcase of luxury and high-end amenities designed to enhance the overall attraction of Downstream and expand its primary market reach beyond the current 100-mile radius. Highlights of the new addition include:

Twelve single-room luxury suites

Four dual-room luxury suites

Two 1,500-square-feet Hospitality Suites, each featuring two oversized bedrooms with king beds, a large dining area and living room, meeting space and bar

Another 134 standard deluxe rooms

The Neé Spa with five treatment rooms, salon, saunas, steam rooms and whirlpools

Indoor swimming pool with indoor/outdoor patio and lounge area

Lover's Leap Bar & Lounge in the Kappa Lobby

Ma-Ko-Sha` coffee shop and bakery, and

A new, larger location for the Buffalo Grille including private and outdoor dining

“We already had a first-class hotel with first-class service. So with the addition of Kappa Tower and the Neé Spa we are now offering a more well rounded resort with a greater choice of rooms and fine amenities,” said Downstream General Manager Steven Drewes. “Our guests definitely have something special to look forward to.”

Meanwhile, the previous location of Buffalo Grille, just off of the gaming floor, was redesigned and opened this week as a new high-limit gaming area for both table games and electronic machines.

Design and architecture for the Phase II development was provided by JCJ Architecture of Hartford, Conn., and the construction contractor was Manhattan Construction Group of Tulsa, Okla.
