Omni Hotels & Resorts announced development is progressing on the Omni Raleigh Hotel, a 29-story, 600-room property scheduled to open in late 2028. The hotel will be situated between the Raleigh Convention Center and the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts.
The property will include a 20,000-square-foot ballroom and 61,000 square feet of meeting space. Food and beverage outlets will include North Carolina’s first Bob’s Steak & Chop House, a rooftop pool and adjacent all-day dining restaurant, a sports bar with a golf simulator and a coffee shop by Raleigh-based Peter Millar featuring a custom roast from Black & White Coffee Roasters. The fitness center will offer hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, cold plunges, red light recovery tables and compression pods.
Construction is led by Brasfield & Gorrie. Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, LLC is serving as project architect and Waldrop + Nichols Studio is handling interiors. Jeffrey Beers International is designing Bob’s Steak & Chop House and the sports bar.
“We believe great hotels are shaped by the communities that surround them and Omni Raleigh is designed to reflect the essence of this dynamic, fast-growing city,” said Kurt Alexander, president of Omni Hotels & Resorts. “We’re creating an exceptional destination where visitors and residents alike can gather, connect and create lasting memories, brought to life by the genuine hospitality of our associates.”
“The arrival of Omni Raleigh will mark a pivotal step forward in the evolution of Downtown Raleigh and strengthen our city’s position as a premier destination for business and leisure travel,” said Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell. “Alongside the Convention Center expansion and significant investments at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts Center and Red Hat Amphitheater, we look forward to welcoming many more residents and visitors to enjoy all that our vibrant city center has to offer.”
