NEW ORLEANS
Omni Hotels & Resorts has taken over management of the Wyndham Riverfront New Orleans, and—in a partnership with Riverfront Lodging—has reflagged it as the Omni Riverfront Hotel.
Riverfront Lodging LLC now owns the property and has contracted Omni to manage it. The announcement follows a six-month, $8 million renovation that overhauled and updated many aspects of the property.
Located in New Orleans' vibrant Warehouse and Arts District, the luxury hotel is just steps away from several Big Easy attractions and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center; it features 202 guest rooms and nearly 4,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
Guests entering the hotel will discover a refreshed, open-air lobby with rustic touches of the past. The bar has been rotated 180 degrees to create ample space for guests to relax and indulge in food and drink served in a casually elegant atmosphere.
Each guest room has been completely renovated and features white tile entryways, new carpet and furniture, tubs and black tile in the bathrooms, as well as bedside LED reading lamps and 42-inch flat screen televisions.
The hotel’s meeting space, public spaces and corridors all received a light refresh as well.
The renovation also included a rebranding of the hotel’s restaurant. Previously known as 7 on Fulton, the dining establishment is now called Fulton St. Bistro | Bar. Reminiscent of a vintage street bistro, it offers French Press coffee, freshly baked baguettes, authentic salads and sandwiches, and steaks and seafood.
Omni Hotels & Resorts has 60 properties in North America. The Omni Riverfront Hotel is the brand’s third property in New Orleans joining the Omni Royal Crescent Hotel, located in the heart of the Arts District, and the Omni Royal Orleans, located in the French Quarter.
Ramon Reyes, formerly of the Omni Royal Orleans, has relocated to the Omni Riverfront Hotel to serve as its new general manager.
