Omni Hotels & Resorts Find the perfect Florida escape
Transformation An $85-million renova- tion this year helps the 1,350-acre Omni Amelia Island Planta- tion Resort offer new experiences, from revamped oceanfront guest rooms to spar- kling restaurants and meeting spaces.
Amenities galore With 720 newly renovated guest rooms, the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate has everything groups need for a successful yet relaxing experi- ence, from 36 holes of championship golf to complimentary shuttle service to nearby Walt Disney World Resort.
Whether it’s a beachfront resort packed with diversions from golf to hiking, or a conven- tion property close to all the action in Orlando, Omni Hotels & Resorts has meeting plan- ners covered with two AAA Four-Diamond resorts that deliver the quintessential Florida experience. On 1,200 lush acres in Orlando, the
720-room Omni Orlando Resort at Cham- pionsGate is a true all-in-one meeting des- tination. Spacious guest rooms and villas, two world-class golf courses, the signature Mokara Spa, and 15 acres of resort ameni- ties, including an 850-foot lazy river, mean meeting attendees never have to leave the property to work or play. And 128,000 square feet of function space — including the all-new, 46,000-square-foot Osceola Conference Center and Ballroom, three ballrooms rang- ing from 20,000 to 28,000 square feet, and

46 meeting rooms — give planners a range of flexible facilities for meetings and events of all kinds. Built along North Florida’s picturesque
coastline, the Omni Amelia Island Planta- tion Resort has recently reopened after an $85-million, property-wide “Re-Imagination.” The 1,350-acre resort now offers new guest rooms, a new lobby, a pool complex, and an 80,000-square-foot conference center. But the real allure of this 404-oceanfront-room resort lies in its endless on-site activities, including three golf courses, a full-service nature-inspired spa, nine restaurants, and 3.5 miles of white-sand beaches. In addition, 23 Har-Tru tennis courts, a shopping village with 14 boutiques, and a nature center offer- ing fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and nature tours provide a diversion for every interest. The meeting facilities are all new as
well. New spaces include a 16,825-square-foot ballroom, 13,200 square feet of prefunction space, and 30 meeting rooms. At Omni Hotels & Resorts, the dining
experiences always lean toward what’s fresh, local, and innovative. At the Oceanside res- taurant at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, the flavors are distinctly Florida, with steaks and seasonal seafood served along- side prime ocean views. Groups looking for something exotic will love Zen, the pan- Asian restaurant at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate that offers everything from savory seafood entrees to innovative sushi dishes.
