Frommer's Highly Recommended

Along with The Berkeley Hotel across the street, the Omni enjoys a terrific location next to Shockoe Slip's boutiques, restaurants, and clubs. It boasts a handsome pink-marble lobby, with green velvet-upholstered chairs and sofas around a working fireplace. Rooms are decorated in soft pastels, and some have spectacular views of the nearby James River. Club-floor rooms offer access to a private lounge, where a complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon refreshments are served on weekdays. Barlow's Terrace, the hotel's casual restaurant, opens to the James Center office tower's atrium. Note that self-parking here is on an hourly in-out rate, so if you're going to use your vehicle, the valet service will be less expensive.
