LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Dallas-based Omni Hotels & Resorts recently broke ground on its 30-story, 853,000-square-foot hotel and luxury apartment complex in downtown Louisville.
The Omni Louisville Hotel is slated to open by March 31, 2018, and will include 612 hotel rooms and 225 luxury apartments. In addition, the complex will have nearly 70,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and three restaurants, including Bob's Steak & Chophouse, a signature Omni steakhouse.
There will also be a lobby lounge and a lower-level rooftop pool deck that will have a bar and full kitchen. In a nod to the significance of Louisville’s bourbon history and culture, the Omni plans to create a speakeasy-style bar with bowling lanes on the lobby level.
Other planned amenities include a spa and fitness center and an urban grocery and market that will offer an array of groceries and household products.
The Omni will offer another high-end brand to leisure travelers and help Louisville attract larger conventions with the addition of more than 600 new hotel rooms.
The timing is bolstered by the renovation and expansion of the adjacent Kentucky International Convention Center, which is set to be complete in August 2018.
