Omni Raleigh Convention Center Hotel

At the heart of downtown, Omni Raleigh is a 683,417-square-foot full-service luxury hotel bringing elevated hospitality to the city center. Designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, LLC (RJTR), the project was envisioned as a destination that reflects the city’s character, supports economic growth, promotes energy efficiency, and strengthens connections between visitors, residents, and the community.

RJTR translated the client’s vision into a landmark destination that enhances Raleigh’s urban fabric. Located on a site along Fayetteville Street, the hotel supports the city’s goal of creating an active, walkable downtown corridor. A dramatic cantilever frames striking views toward the State Capitol while reinforcing the pedestrian experience. The vertical design solution resulted in the tallest Omni property to date.

The cast-in-place concrete structure combines strength, efficiency, and slender proportions. A high-performance curtain wall system and energy-rated glazing maximize daylight and reduce heat gain, while a material palette of masonry and natural wood creates a warm expression. The hotel includes 600 guest rooms and 334 belowgrade parking spaces across three levels, supported by an advanced water mitigation system that enhances long-term sustainability.
