Our Take: This historic property has seen the evolution of the River Walk and, more importantly, has kept up with it. Originally built in 1852 as a school, the shell of the Omni has enjoyed a prime downtown location for over a century. Aside from the locale, visitors also appreciate the ambience, praising the exposed-beam ceilings and bright-red decorative accents in the rooms. However, some feel that for the high price they're paying, their rooms should be a bit larger. But the hotel makes up for its allegedly small digs with ample amenities: While here, spend some time by the pool or at the spa (located in the Mokara Hotel across the river), or get out and about on an Omni-organized history tour. And if you're traveling as a family, make sure to save some time for the hotel's scavenger hunts, Friday afternoon Mariachi concerts, and Saturday movie nights. Guests also love the gourmet cuisine served at the award-winning Las Canarias restaurant, but for most, it was the hotel's friendly staff that truly made staying here a pleasure. And if you're a member of Omni's Select Guest® rewards program, you can spend the night in this popular hotel using points.
