The Omni Hotel

by Claudine on June 8th, 2008

Located at 190 Marietta Street, the Omni Hotel is a four diamond hotel in Atlanta. The hotel is centrally located near Atlanta attractions like the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium, the New World of Coca Cola, Phillips Arena, the Georgia World Congress Center and Centennial Park. In fact, the CNN Center is in the same plaza as the Omni. The Omni and the CNN broadcasting center, Phillips Area and the Georgia World Congress Center are connected. Most of the aforementioned attractions and venues are within walking distance, about 10 to 15 minutes away. By the way, the Omni is also the closest hotel to the Georgia Dome.

The luxurious 1,070 guestrooms boast Chinese granite countertops, marble floors, workstations. A sate-of-the art 24-hour fitness facility. and an outdoor pool are also available for guests. Rooms at the Omni have fabulous views of Atlanta. You will be enthralled by the view of  Atlanta city lights seen from your room.

Stressed out or simply need a little pampering? The Natural Body Spa is located inside of the hotel, providing a myriad of services included facials, massages, and body treatments. Although prices are subject to change, to get an idea of the costs for services, he signature facial is about $90 and massages start at $50 for 30 minutes.

Meeting Facilities

The Omni has a 120,000 square foot functional space for dinners and other special events. Included are the 12,000 square-foot Atrium Terrace and the 15,000 square-foot exhibit hall. There are also several break-out rooms available for smaller meeting and gatherings. The Omni is usually bustling with name-tag-wearing visitors who are in town for conferences or business meetings. Meeting planners seek to schedule meetings and special events in the beautifully lavish Omni.

Dining

The elegant Prime Meridian Restaurant, and comfortable Latitudes Bistro and Lounge are both located inside the Omni. I enjoyed the Baby Spinach Salad $8, the Grilled Black Angus Tenderloin $33, and I sampled desserts called Sinless Indulgences. They range from fresh fruit in a glass to  key lime pie in shot glasses.  I adored the chocolate mousse.

Reservations

Room prices vary according to the season, but during the summer months a single king guestroom may be reserved  for a one-night (Friday night) stay for $179. Packages are available to accommodate families, ladies getaways, and tours to the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium, and other attractions. U.S. residents can call 1-888-444-OMNI for reservations.
