Fodor's Expert Review Omni Jacksonville Hotel

Jacksonville's most luxurious and glamorous downtown hotel offers across-the-street convenience to the big theatrical or musical shows at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts. The smart, neutral colors and modern lines of the furnishings set off the views of the St. Johns River and its iconic bridges from the upper levels of the imposing 16-floor tower. A marble-floored, wood-paneled lobby leads to the reception area, an upscale lounge (JBar), and Juliette's Bistro, where cozy banquettes and tables bask in the airiness of a lofty atrium. Bell service is exemplary; many porters have more than a decade on the job, so they can and will happily help you find just about anything, including a cab.
