Omni Dallas: It's Definitely Opening, And It's Definitely Got An Infinity Pool

Where: 555 S. Lamar Dallas, Texas [map], Dallas, TX, United States, 75202

Omni Dallas, which is set to open on 11/11/11, will include an infinity pool

Whoever said 11/11/11 would mark a pivotal world-changing event must have been cc'd on development memos issued from Omni Hotels' corporate office. That is to say, Omni's latest creation, Omni Dallas, a 1,001-room convention hotel on South Lamar St, will be opening on the portentous date—and with $111 rates, no less.

As part of the "Definitely Dallas" package (this name is putting dirty thoughts into our head), guests who book rooms through December 30, 2011 will receive $111 deluxe guest rooms. Inside the rooms, you'll find a 111-inch flat-screen TV; and on top of the beds, you'll rest your head on 111 pillows. And in the bathroom....OK, we're just kidding. In fact, the bathrooms do come with mirror TVs (which we remain undecided over), and the rooms all feature pieces by local artists.

The newest Aloft has us excited for two reasons: 1) it’s actually located in downtown Dallas, not out in the boonies; and 2) it’s the first Aloft to also be adaptive re-use, an endeavor the brand apparently has plans to continue with future projects. Operating out of a 1924 railroad freight depot and commercial dry goods warehouse, the eight-story antique has been re-imagined with the sleek, loft-style aesthetic Aloft has been oh-so-diligently working to trademark.
