Adding 1,001 rooms and 110,000 square feet of event space plus skybridge access to the Dallas Convention Center, the Omni Dallas headquarters hotel “has ushered in a new era for Dallas meetings,” says Phillip Jones, president and CEO of the Dallas CVB.
With Omni Hotels & Resorts headquartered in Dallas, Ed Netzhammer, the company’s regional vice president, notes the project’s importance for the brand.
“Drawing locals along with groups, the hotel has started very strong with more than 500 meetings and conventions booked and occupancy almost 10 percent higher than projected,” says Netzhammer, who is also managing director of the hotel. “LEED Gold certification is also a major milestone, making it one of the only LEED Gold hotels in Texas and the largest LEED Gold hotel in the U.S. outside of Las Vegas.”
