Omni Hotels & Resorts hotels

American gathering places range from big convention hotels to golf resorts and old mineral spas.

Omni brings full-service American hospitality to city hotels, golf resorts, and substantial places to gather. The company’s roots lie with the Dunfey brothers’ New Hampshire restaurant and inn, and it developed further under Robert Rowling’s ownership after 1996, with leisure and meetings both central to its range.

30 Omni Hotels & Resorts hotels in 2 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas, each placed on the six LHA Tiers.

History

The Dunfey brothers’ early restaurant and inn led to a larger hotel business, including years as Sheraton franchisees. Robert Rowling’s TRT Holdings acquired Omni in 1996 and developed its substantial presence in convention hotels and golf resorts. The collection’s current range carries both the original innkeeping story and that later American resort chapter.
