Oklahoma City selects developer for convention center hotel

The Oklahoma City Council approved Tuesday a resolution to enter into final negotiations with Omni Hotels & Resorts to develop the Oklahoma City convention center hotel.

The selection of the developer was based on recommendations by the committee tasked with evaluating hotel proposals.

Omni Hotels proposed a conceptual 19-floor hotel with 600 rooms, approximately 50,000 square feet of meeting space, and several food and beverage outlets including two restaurants.

The hotel will be located next to the new convention center and is targeted to open with the convention center in early 2020.
