Get ready for luxe staycations. Raleigh landed the hotel group Omni Hotels & Resort for a new 550-room four-star convention hotel, expected to open in 2027.

Located across from the Raleigh Convention Center and Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts on a one-acre lot, this development joins the 1,790 hotel rooms planned for downtown. To put these numbers into context: Dreamville music festival’s 100,000 attendees sold out every hotel in downtown and generated $6.7 million in Wake County this year.

The Omni Raleigh Hotel will feature a rooftop pool, a premium spa, 55,000 sqft of meeting space, and five food + bev concepts as part of the $425 million convention center expansion.
