Marcus Hotels & Resorts announced it has been selected to manage the new Capitol District Marriott hotel currently under development in Omaha, Neb.

The 14-story high-rise hotel is being developed by Shamrock Development, Inc. as the anchor for the Capitol District, an upscale urban dining and entertainment destination, located in the city's downtown.

Located at Capitol Avenue and 10th Street, the 333-room full-service hotel will offer 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including an 11,000-square-foot ballroom. The new ballroom will be the largest among the downtown Omaha hotels. Other features include a full-service restaurant, two bars, Starbucks store in the lobby, large fitness center, a rooftop outdoor swimming pool and a parking garage.

Construction is underway, with completion anticipated in spring of 2017.

In addition to the new hotel, plans for the $205 million Capitol District include 225 residential apartments, 140,000 square feet of Class A office space, and 90,000 square feet of high-end retail space for restaurants, shops and entertainment, all located around a master planned plaza.

The project is located across the street from the CenturyLink Arena & Convention Center and TD Ameritrade Park, home of the NCAA College World Series.
