The Omni Hotel is located in a 7 story building that was transformed into a 362 room luxury hotel. Originally a Florentine Renaissance building, the first four floors of exterior granite were removed and using the original drawings the cast stone facade was recreated. While the hotel has contemporary amenities, it has a sophistication with its Victorian-inspired, Old-world design which pays homage to its San Francisco history. The hotel is spearheaded by General Manager James Lim who has a rich background in luxury hospitality in the Bay Area.
THE LOBBY
When you enter the hotel, you will notice grand staircases (on each side of the hotel) with intricately wrought iron molding and a rounded marble staircase that ascends to the hotel check in. Magnificent chandeliers hang above you while an elaborate orchid flower arrangement in oriental vases sit in the middle of the room. Dark mahogany wooden walls are decorated with finely crafted molding. The lobby is comparable to the staircase in the Titanic Ship. Authenticity is all around you in this dignified ambiance.
