Omni Fort Worth Set to Debut

The 614-room Omni Fort Worth will open Jan. 19 directly across from the Fort Worth Convention Center.

The property includes a garden on the roof above its 18,788-square-foot Texas ballroom and an outdoor swimming pool on the third floor. Four restaurants are located on the hotel’s first floor. The facility features a museum store with merchandise from the Kimbell Art Museum. The property boasts nearly 68,000 square feet of meeting space.

If the Omni is successful in bringing new convention business to the area, local leaders may consider expanding the convention center by tearing down the 10,000-seat arena, dubbed “The Flying Saucer,” on the convention center’s north side, according to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
