Omni Houston Hotel
Houston, Texas, United States · Omni Hotels & Resorts · Near Luxury
Omni bought this hotel in 1991, when the sign still said Four Seasons Inn on the Park. Morris Aubry Architects had shaped the crescent at Four Riverway in 1981, above Buffalo Bayou, and SWA's landscape set two pools beside a lake crossed by three bright red fountain walls. Harvey flooded the ground floor in 2017, and the house reopened in November 2018 after a rebuild Perkins+Will designed, with Birdies, the restaurant named for Lady Bird Johnson, and 378 rooms still set above the bayou.
- 378 rooms

History
The crescent hotel at Four Riverway opened in 1981 as the Four Seasons Inn on the Park, designed by Morris Aubry Architects for John Hansen Investment Builder, with landscape by SWA Group. A Texas Monthly advertisement from those years placed the inn at this address and at the phone number the Omni still uses. Omni acquired the hotel in 1991. Hurricane Harvey flooded it in 2017. It reopened in November 2018 after a first-floor rebuild designed by Perkins+Will, with Birdies, the restaurant named for Lady Bird Johnson, and a basement club called the Black Swan.
