The Chicago Tribune calls the Omaha Magnolia a "cool place to stay". (Reporter's story and video here). The Omaha Magnolia Hotel's stunning new design is reminiscent of the building’s 1920s Italian heritage. Upon entry, the beautiful lobby reflects Italian architecture in the original marble floor, travertine walls, Roman columns and elegant vaulted ceiling. Modern touches liven up this exclusive space, including elliptical-shaped chandeliers, a modern seating area with leather ottomans, a mahogany registration desk with a concrete countertop and a custom area rug with a floating blossom design. The hotel is located near:
- Omaha Convention Center and the Qwest Center
- Most major corporations including Con Agra, Union Pacific, Qwest, Gallup and First National Bank
- Opheum Theatre and the Holland Center for Performing Arts
- Old Market District featuring restaurants, entertainment, shopping and nightclubs
