Ownership & renovations

In September 2007 Omni Hotels purchased the hotel section of Austin Centre from Walton Street Capital, shortly after Walton Street had purchased it from Crescent Real Estate. [2] This purchase was followed by a $10 million guestroom renovation in the first half of 2008, followed by a meeting space update in the second half of 2008. [3] A second renovation was completed by Jeffrey Beers International in 2022. [4] The renovation costed $22 million and was unveiled August 30, 2022. A restaurant, a coffee shop, a ballroom, a podcast room, a fitness center and 18 guestrooms were added, adding up to a total of 393. [5] [6] Indoor faux greenery was introduced to contrast with the light oak woods. [7]
