San Francisco’s Omni Hotel, Outstanding In A Luxurious Town

Assessing the benefits of major cities should be viewed with the glass half full, because it really is.

Las Vegas has an abundance of great restaurants, night life and, if you’re in to it, creative dry landscaping. It really is located in the middle of the desert.

Southern California cities have an abundance of sun and palm trees. Keeps you in a good mood.

Portland really does have more coffee shops than you can sip at in one day. If you love your coffee, this fresh aired city is paradise.

Our favorite city of San Francisco has so much in abundance it is hard to pick just one thing. Fantastic neighborhood eateries, tourist attractions, a calm spiritual bay and majestic ocean and some of the largest high-tech companies in the world.

But look, please don’t forget about the luxury hotels. This great city possesses them in abundance.

We have our favorites and right now, one hotel chain that you should keep your travel eye on is Omni Hotels.

You will love their message. We sure do.

Speaking about their San Francisco location they smile, “Reflecting our vibrant downtown location, the Omni San Francisco Hotel provides luxury accommodations, modern comforts and elegant event spaces. Located on the historic California cable car line and only a short walk to Union Square, Chinatown, the Ferry Building and the Moscone Convention Center, the Omni San Francisco is at the center of all the exciting sights the “City by the Bay” has to offer.”

See what we mean? Didn’t we tell you that San Francisco has so much in abundance? They added a few more attractions to our list.

The Omni San Francisco has an interesting history too. Their historical tale adds to their present luxury. They continue, “Built as a bank in 1926, our lobby is adorned with Italian marble, rich fabrics and Austrian crystal chandeliers. This classic elegance along with our high touch services makes us the perfect location for a memorable wedding or your next romantic getaway.”

Sounds like fun. Others agree. Here are a few reviews from some satisfied customers found at Trip Advisor:

“Wow! Once greeted by a wonderful doorman, you enter a gorgeous lobby, complete with chandeliers and marble everywhere! Efficient and cordial reception desk and knowledgeable, friendly concierge team!”

Here is another.

“Great hotel within walking distance of the financial district. The cable car goes by directly in front of the hotel. Great rooms, great service and great location.”

We are salivating to visit.

So here’s the deal. If you are traveling elsewhere, Omni has a lot going on. They do things big in Texas. Really big. Omni not only does it big, they do it right.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Omni Hotels & Resorts celebrated the grand reopening of Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa with a ribbon cutting celebration alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Omni Barton Creek underwent an extensive $150 million renovation and expansion that began in November 2017. From its opening 30 years ago to becoming the premier Texas Hill Country destination, today marks a major milestone in the property's history. The resort entices local and out-of-town visitors to a refined, but relaxed retreat, embodying the spirit of the region.

"Barton Creek is a treasured resort within the Omni brand. This newly transformed destination represents our commitment to reinvesting in our portfolio, allowing us to provide exceptional service to our guests," said Peter Strebel, president of Omni Hotels & Resorts. "With championship golf, premier spa amenities, elevated cuisine and superb meeting spaces, we are poised to offer our guests experiences that match the beauty of the Texas Hill Country."

Today's festivities included remarks from Texas Governor Greg Abbott; Robert Rowling, chairman of TRT Holdings, Inc. (owner Omni Hotels & Resorts); and Barton Creek General Manager Todd Raessler. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, guests had the opportunity to tour the resort. Guests also enjoyed a tasting menu inspired by restaurants across the property including Bob's Steak & Chop House, Jim Bob's Lobby Lounge and Nopales. Additionally, there were performances from Austin-based musicians James Parker, Rodney Overturff and The Zach Carney Duo as well as a cocktail demonstration in Crenshaw's Bar & Eatery and complimentary hand massages and cleansing hand scrubs at the resort's signature Mokara Spa.

Taking inspiration from the lush landscape of the Texas Hill Country, the property's overall design highlights the history and sweeping views of this iconic destination, while providing a true oasis that creates a relaxing haven for all guests. At every opportunity, the design team worked to bring the essence of the outdoors inside and those elements are featured in:
