Omni Hotel, Charlottesville

Situated adjacent to the pedestrian mall in downtown Charlottesville, close to the Virginia Discovery Museum, University of Virginia Art Museum and McGuffey Art Center, the Omni creates a dramatic first impression with its stunning, seven-storey-high glass atrium lobby bedecked in greenery, where the hotel's restaurant, Pointe, offers a casual dining setting overlooking the mall.

The hotel also features the Pointe Bar and Patio where guests can enjoy drinks and light meals outdoors in fine weather. There is also Morsel's coffee shop serving Starbucks coffee.

Decorated in a palette of muted tones, the traditionally styled guest rooms offer views over the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville or the mall and atrium, and amenities include cable TV, high-speed Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
