Omni Charlotte Hotel Completes $26 Million Renovation Led by General Manager Douglas Hustad
Omni Charlotte Hotel announced
the completion of its $26 million dollar property renovation that
includes a sleek new exterior, a modern lobby experience, a refreshed
restaurant and bar, new cosmopolitan guest rooms and suites and a
redesigned rooftop pool deck and bar space that will surely be the
city's go-to urban oasis.
"With this multimillion-dollar project complete, Omni Charlotte Hotel
is a one-of-a-kind destination for leisure and business travelers
alike," said Douglas Hustad, general manager for Omni Charlotte Hotel.
"We have watched the daily progression of this impressive renovation and
it's truly remarkable to see it come to life."
The hotel's design theme revolves around Charlotte's unique history
with precious metals. The hotel now offers custom fabrics and finishes
of rich gold and silver tones, resulting in a design that is timeless,
luxurious and sophisticated.
The hotel transformation started with a redesign of its 374 guest
rooms and suites, now affording guests a better in-room amenity
experience. Rooms include a modular coffee bar built into the
countertop, oversized sofas near the windows and a color palette that is
subtle and sophisticated with touches that tie back to the overall
concept of precious metals. Additionally, the bathrooms received new
vanities and showers.
Arguably, one of the most exciting parts of the multimillion-dollar
improvement is the complete redesign of the rooftop pool deck, Coin Bar.
The area has nearly 3,000 additional square feet of space that includes
a stylish new bar and grill featuring poolside cocktails and small
bites. The space also features 22' (w) by 12' (h) double-sided LED
television screens that can be seen from EPICENTRE, the surrounding area
of businesses and entertainment venues. Coin Bar is an ideal space to
relax and unwind, catch live entertainment or watch sporting events.
The hotel's entry facade now features an expansive glass exterior,
giving the hotel a more prominent street presence. When guests walk into
the lobby, they will immediately notice the luxury enhancements made to
the property including gleaming flooring, burnished metal wall finishes
and a new guest registration. Metals also serve as inspiration for the
finishes used in the cocktail tables, furniture and other lobby
fixtures.
Trade Restaurant & Bar welcomes an expanded bar that opens into
the lobby, providing guests direct access to the new space. The
restaurant's new modern seating, tables, carpet and decorative lighting
all help create a serene dining venue.
The exclusive club lounge on the 14th floor now includes
new counter bars with views of the Charlotte skyline. It serves as an
area for guests to start their day with complimentary breakfast items or
to end their day with a cocktail.
