Maybe it’s the candied pecans and chilled bottled water that greet guests when they arrive in their spacious rooms. Or the warm cookies, milk and goody bags kids receive each night before bedtime.
Or the spotlessly clean rooms and lounge areas. Or the smiling receptionists who go out of their way to ensure your visit is absolutely perfect. Whatever it is, loyal guests sing the Omni Hotel Dallas’ praises, and keep coming back!
A perennial Dallas favorite, the Omni Dallas Hotel at Park West is located at 1590 LBJ Freeway amid a lush green park and peaceful lake.

The Omni Hotel Dallas is located near the Las Colinas business district and is only a 10-minute ride to DFW Airport.
This 12-story luxury hotel is a great deal for your wallet, too. You’ll save big over hotels located in downtown Dallas while enjoying luxurious amenities.
