April 10, 2026
Hotel Management highlights the opening of the 801-room luxury hotel serving as a catalyst for the local economy
Omni Hotels & Resorts has officially opened the doors of Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel. This debut signals the brand's flagship arrival to Greater Fort Lauderdale, introducing a new benchmark for sophisticated, coastal luxury, and elevated hospitality in South Florida. The hotel marks a key achievement in the Broward County Convention Center expansion, which Stantec served as lead consultant and architect of record on, designing dining, water taxi access, and a waterfront plaza. Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel now serves as its definitive anchor, setting a new regional standard as a world-class destination for meetings, events, and leisure.
The 29-story waterfront property on the scenic Intracoastal Waterway includes 801 guestrooms, more than 120,000 square feet of meeting and event space, six dining venues, a large pool deck, and a full-service Mokara Spa.
The hotel stands as a powerful catalyst for economic prosperity, with the project anticipated to generate more than US$450 million for the local economy and create more than 3,000 full- and part-time jobs.
