Omni Hotels & Resorts to acquire and operate five iconic resorts
POSTED 12 Jun 2013 . BY Aoife Dowling
Omni Hotels & Resorts has reached an agreement to purchase and operate five resort properties affiliated with KSL Capital Partners.

The five properties are: Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas; La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California; Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, California; The Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina; and The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia.

The properties will be reflagged under the Omni brand on 1 July and will add 2,362 rooms and five spas to the groups portfolio.

Mike Deitemeyer, president of Omni Hotels & Resorts said: “Each of these properties is unique in its own right – rich in heritage and distinctive in their elegance and charm. We would be fortunate to own and operate any single one of these celebrated resorts.

“By purchasing all five of these properties, Omni has significantly enhanced our growing Resort Collection in terms of scope, scale and prestige.”
