Omni Hotels & Resorts is planning to build a 600-room convention hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The $261-million downtown development will also include retail shops, 200 apartments, and a grocery store.
As the first four-diamond, luxury hotel in the area, the Omni Louisville Hotel will feature 600 guestrooms and suites, 70,000 square feet of meeting space, a spa, fitness center, two full-service restaurants, rooftop pool-side café, street level retail, and a lobby lounge. The hotel is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification.

The Omni Louisville Hotel will be the brand’s first property in Kentucky. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2015 and the project will open no later than 2017.
