A prominent historic building that has been renovated as part of a wave of development in the area. They offer valet parking but directed me to a paid lot next door when I declined. Street parking, however, was free. I didn't check out the hotel restaurants, and the pool, while clearly a large park of the experience here, did not make my relatively busy itinerary as I wanted to get out and see other things. The room itself was comfortable. The AC was loud and ran constantly (though if you're looking for a noise machine to help with sleep that might not be the worst thing) during a summer heat wave, but it was successful in achieving the relatively low temperatures I like to sleep at. I misplaced a key card and was given a replacement by showing my ID without difficulty (shortly before I found it anyway). The hotel had a considerable and comfortable lobby. It may be a different experience once the massive streetcar project which runs outside is finished. Right now driving and walking are both a little inconvenient. The hotel was bustling, so clearly people found a way to get here. read more

As Omaha locals, the Cottonwood is synonymous with a good staycation. I'd guess we've stayed here 4-5 times in the last handful of years, usually as a summer anniversary overnight stay. There's a lot we love about this property: Gorgeous, charming, historic and everything feels very carefully curated The pool - with its in-water loungers, padded seats, large umbrellas, and helpful servers The gym is a great one stop shop: Peloton, treadmills, yoga mats, free weights, benches, water station, bathroom right inside the gym, too Rooms themselves are also well kept, beautiful and elevated And then there's a few things that miss the mark sometimes: The food and beverage service here tends to be pretty underwhelming in my experience (albeit, to be fair: I have not eaten at the Chophouse) Our various credit card perks have included breakfast for most of our stays and we have always found the options to be a little lackluster. For example, one or two of the breakfast entrees specifically says it comes with "lyonnaise" potatoes...but then they're served with fried, cubed potatoes that could be mistaken for grocery store frozen breakfast potatoes. The coffee offerings in both the coffeeshop and the Orleans room are passable - admittedly, I'm fairly picky on this point so my guest is that many guests find it sufficient to meet their needs. But I have yet to try anything that could compete with some other local spots. And then the real big bummer this time around: the pool club being operated differently almost every season. By nature, I'm kind of an over communicator - I like posted rules and visible expectations so that I can plan accordingly... And I take note of those things and keep them in mind when I return to a particular spot. However, I have vivid memories of being served around the pool side directly from the Orleans room a couple years ago... And that's no longer allowed. I also remember distinctly being able to bring in our own meal to enjoy around the pool, whether it was a snack from a nearby grocery store or a sandwich from a local eatery in Blackstone... And that is also no longer allowed. In addition to those restrictions that were new to me, it seems clear that there's been a big push toward more pool club memberships/day passes and one of the downsides is that only a third of the pool seating is actually available to Hotel guests. This meant that on more than one occasion during our 3 days there, we had to be strategic about finding seats... And when you have spent your hard-earned money to enjoy the beautiful facilities, it feels pretty irksome to get caught in a cutthroat game of saving chairs. It honestly felt a little bit like the hotel guests were treated like a nuisance rather than welcome guests who paid to be there. One other way that this showed up for our particular stay was with regards to using property credits to pay: as a generous benefit of one of our premium credit cards, we were given a $100 property credit. The fine print before we came stated that it could be used on food or valet costs or other incidentals at the hotel except for taxes and actual room payment... We were very much looking forward to using this credit across our few days to cover poolside lunches... But because the pool club is operated as an independent entity, they could not charge it to our room, therefore making it impossible to use our property credit to cover lunch. Again, I'm aware that this issue does not apply to every guest (and when we asked the front desk about it, they stated that it was explicitly listed on the exclusion paperwork they gave us at check-in.. but we didn't take that with us to our room, because we thought we already knew the exclusions from scanning the emails and booking materials ahead of time.. it was a different statement than what was provided online). Overall, we still love the Cottonwood, but the ever-changing rules and policies are making it a little bit harder to feel eager to be loyal. read more

This hotel was great from day one. We arrived really late (after midnight) and the valet and front desk were super helpful and polite. They held doors open, gave up pointers on area and the stay, and made the welcome very memorable. The room and hotel was super cute and cozy. I didn't swim, but the pool area looks really nice. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, the hotel was clean, and the vibes are nice. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I have stayed at the Cottonwood twice. First trip was great, but this past weekend was not. The entrance was plugged with cars and a pain to valet and the real gift was the day after we left. The management sent my wife photos of a disgusting toilet scene and claimed we left it that way. They supposedly considered it a biohazard (which may have been the case) and charged us $270 for the extra cleaning. Turns out it wasn't our room! We haven't received the credit back to our card and are left now to wait for it. My wife and I stewed over the claims we left the room that way until they finally figured it out and they still have our money. What a great anniversary memory! This will be our last visit to the Cottonwood and I'd suggest you think twice. read more

Stayed here before, and recently attended a Halloween event, too. This location is a great hotel with a diligent staff. Parking was handled by staff for our overnight stay. For our Halloween visit, street parking was available. The room was attractive and well decorated. All features functioned as expected. Double bonus that they let us bring our dogs. The pool was busy in summer. In winter it's covered and has shuffle board on it. The Halloween party was in the pool area's bar. Good location for a group event. Will return. read more

Incredibly gorgeous interior with the marble staircase, courtyard with fountain.. so much old world charm in general in a beautiful building. Very historic with a lovely outdoor courtyard. Our room (King bed) was simple but so cute -- picturesque headboard and cool art-deco style furniture. Everyone from the manager to the receptionists to the valet guys were all so sweet and kind (shoutout to the woman at the front desk who also has a Cane Corso)! We usually stay at Kimpton hotels due to their welcoming, flexible pet policy (since our dog is around 140lb). Lots of bars and restaurants across the street and within walking distance (just don't go to Pickleman's...). Specific Things To Note: *Onsite Dining: Cottonwood Room Lounge (upscale cocktail bar) + Committee Chophouse (steakhouse) *Resort-style outdoor pool and Pool Club *Complimentary Happy Hour (lobby - 5PM-6PM) *Fitness center has a Peloton w/ access to classes streamed from their NYC studio read more

What a beautiful hotel! And it must have an amazing reputation with locals because everyone was impressed and commented that this was a nice place when we told them where we were staying. It has a really nice, upscale resort like feel with all the plants and gorgeous pool area. The pool area also has a covered bar area where people were hanging out in the evening. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was so pretty. It felt like a really getaway staying here. read more

First stop on our Midwest family road trip: Omaha, Nebraska -- state #48 for me (just Iowa and Kansas to go!) -- and we couldn't have picked a better home base than the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel. This place exceeded expectations. It's stylish, spacious, and buzzing with great energy. The rooms are beautiful and super comfortable, and the whole vibe is just effortlessly cool. The pool was our morning ritual -- it's definitely popular, so getting there early is key, but totally worth it. Such a great setup. There's also a daily happy hour from 5-6pm with complimentary wine or a cocktail, which was a sweet surprise. We also couldn't resist the restaurant's claim to fame: the original Reuben sandwich. As a longtime Reuben fan, I've had a lot... but this one? Best I've ever had. Hands down. Even though we skipped the gym, we appreciated all the little details that made this hotel feel special. Trendy, welcoming, and right in the heart of Omaha -- we were seriously impressed. A perfect way to kick off our road trip adventure. read more

This is a beautiful hotel in an historic building. We had some trouble getting there because of closed roads but we called the front desk and Allie was able to direct us right to the front door. Our room was lovely with a claw foot tub and walk in shower. We had dinner at the Committee Chophouse. The food was amazing and the bar was beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel and the Chophouse. Both were outstanding. I wish this was closer to home as we would return often. read more

This is a fantastic hotel. Enjoyed a winter weekend getaway here a few weeks ago -- the weekend when there was 6-8 inches of snow. Despite the challenge, the valet staff did a great job at check-in clearing the driveway late in the evening, and later at check-out when they had to warm, brush and scrape every car. Kudos to a very efficient operation. The entire property is gorgeous and exquisitely cared for. The inside of the building has that classic early 20th-century feel, with tile floors, replica period furniture, and lots of comfortable nooks. Some areas remind me of the hotel from that show Magic City, with lots of light-colored wood/wicker, lots of plants, and vibrant color choices, like the teal wall on the back hallway. Not what I was expecting in downtown Omaha, but truly one of the most beautiful properties I've seen anywhere. I had a suite and the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pictures others have posted are very accurate. The elevators are a little sketch, so if you're on a low floor, I'd recommend just taking the stairs. Food and beverage on property are amazing. I arrived just in time for last call at the bar, which is in a separate building outside on the other side of the pool out back. It was all decked out for Christmas with a working fireplace, and felt like I was sneaking away to Santa's cottage for drinks! Similarly breakfast in the restaurant was excellent, highlighted by lattes from the spectacular on-site coffee bar, which offers every coffee option you can imagine. My wife's raspberry latte was lovely. Every aspect of the stay was excellent and I highly recommend this property. Pro tip: As of late 2025, this property is one of Chase's "The Edit" hotels, so those with certain Chase cards can book via its website and use one of your twice-yearly $250 Edit credits to cover the cost of the stay and get a $100 property credit. read more

The Cottonwood is undeniably gorgeous! Every aspect of the hotel, from the lobby, to the restaurants/bars, to the rooms is well-thought-out and impeccably designed. We stayed here for an overnight staycation, and we had a great time. We enjoyed a free spiked apple cider in the lobby before venturing to the Orleans Room for a drink and charcuterie. The charcuterie board was really good, but definitely needed more bread and/or crackers to match the amount of meat and cheese on the board. The location is perfectly placed near other Blackstone bars and restaurants. read more

The Holiday Hut is a staple during the holiday season in Omaha. Relative to my last visit, the Holiday Hut has made many improvements. The drink menu all looked delicious and the cocktails sounds very balanced. I had the frosty fir, which came in a cute ornament style glass and was a tasty drink. The decor was plentiful but very cute and there was plenty of seating. I would certainly recommend this as a holiday pop up bar in Blackstone! read more

Dates of stay: November 25 - 27 2024 I normally don't stay at IHG hotels, but the location and pictures (plus other Yelp reviews) really had me wanting to book this hotel! I had some points racked up that made the stay free, so I couldn't resist. The hotel is a wonderful combination of old-school touches and updates. We had Room 320, a King Studio Suite and it was very spacious, with a separate living room area past the bed. The bathroom had lots of room for the two of us to spread out as well, which was appreciated. However, the more time we spent in the room, the more the layout was off; the bed was closer to the door and while the one TV in the room was large, it wasn't quite big enough to really work in the sitting area--we had to crank up the sound to be able to hear anything from the couch! I suspect the layout is the way that it is because the only noise we heard in the room was from outside, having the bed further from the windows was to facilitate better sleep. Couple small problems in the bathroom: After checking in, I noticed that toilet handle appeared to be ready to fall off. I reported the issue via text as I had been sent a welcome text to inquire about our stay thus far. Timing was good since we were heading out for dinner and when we returned, the problem had been fixed! That is great, but I would have appreciated a notification (since I was communicating via text with the hotel already anyway) that I would have received a confirmation that the problem was resolved and know that we could return to the room without being interrupted later.

Front desk and valet staff were great, though no one in the hotel had change for me to tip the valet on our way out and the QR code to leave an electronic tip had such a hefty fee (Really, $2 in fees to leave a $5 tip?) that I did not utilize it. Great gym, too! read more

I've never met a Kimpton I didn't like! On my recent trip to Omaha, this hotel came recommended by a friend and I immediately knew it would be a win. I booked in for a Saturday-Monday and certainly enjoyed my two-night stay. The entry way, lobby area, and check-in space is all wonderfully decorated. Such a modern atmosphere, which is a surprise when you walk in because the building itself is old as told by the exterior. Everything is super tasteful, from the seating and book shelves wrapping either side of the fireplace, to the exquisite marble walls and staircase. Also big fan of all of the (real) plants. So many! Upon checking in, they gave me a brief and helpful rundown of the place, and let me know complimentary wine was provided until 6pm (I narrowly made it)! I grabbed a glass of cold, crisp sauv blanc from the stunning bar/restaurant area and brought it to my room to get settled in. Nothing but great things to say about this standard, king-bed room. Everything was extremely clean and tidy, the decor was unique, and the bathroom was so big. Love a good walk-in, glass shower. Feels luxurious. During my stay, my friend and I sat at the bar in the Orleans Room and had a delicious dinner, along with a few thoroughly enjoyable cocktails. The espresso martini was my favorite. Shout out to bartender Austin for the great hospitality. In the AM we had an equally great experience for breakfast in the other side of the space, which appears to be more like a cute cafe. All around great food and drinks. I also got use out of their large, very clean gym. Wishing it wasn't still freezing cold weather, as I'm sure their big outdoor pool is lovely in the summertime! I wouldn't hesitate to return to the Cottonwood next time I'm in Omaha! read more

4.5 stars. We had a wonderful stay at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel. I'd been eager to check it out, and a power outage during a severe thunderstorm gave us the perfect reason to do so while waiting for our electricity to be restored. Our room, though small, was beautifully designed and a nice retreat from the extreme heat Omaha was experiencing. I especially appreciated how dog-friendly the hotel is. The only minor issue was the shower's heat and water pressure, which could have been better. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic. read more

I've experienced only the pool/bar so far and loved it all! My company rented the back room of the pool bar for a mixology class. We got 4 full size cocktails which were explained and made in front of us, and a token for a free cocktail to use then or save for later. The cocktails were all pretty out there, but taste wise were great and very different. I am a very basic girly/vodka drink person so I was sad I didn't get anything like that, but also had fun learning about a lot of liquors I don't know much about. The bartender did a great job and answered all of our questions well--he was very knowledgeable! The best part was the impressive charcuterie board complete with a seafood basket of crab legs, oysters, and shrimp!! So good! read more

This was my first time at this hotel, and I was thoroughly impressed. I can't wait to stay again and visit the pool. This hotel has 3 bars/restaurants and one of them is at the pool. It has so much history and the rooms are a nice size. They have valet parking and all the staff is super friendly. They treat you to a complimentary drink voucher that you can use at any of their bars. They also have a happy hour every day from 5 - 6 in the lobby. It is in downtown Omaha and close to lots of attractions and companies. The first night I was there, I visited their bar/restaurant connected to the lobby. I had breakfast there the next morning, very tasty, only complaint is I wish it opened before 7am. I also had dinner there my last evening there, and it was worth every penny. I will travel to Omaha pretty often for work. Look forward to my next stay. read more

I'm totally shocked that this place doesn't have five stars! It was one of the best experiences we had and completely unexpected in Nebraska! We stopped here on our the way home from our road trip to Denver! Being from Chicago I didn't have high expectations for the hotel scene in Nebraska. Well, I was wrong at least for the Cottonwood. The hotel was upscale and it felt more like a resort with a fantastic pool and drinks. We also loved that we could take our pup down to soak up the sun! The first night (bc we booked a second after we arrived ) we were so tired and sore from driving so we all ran up, changed into our suits and jumped into the pool! It was the perfect night cap after a long drive. We were supposed to head home in the morning but we all wanted a pool day so we decided to book another night. I'm so glad we did! After hanging at the pool we headed to the lobby for a wine tasting which was delicious! And it was kid friendly as they brought our daughter a plateful of goodies to enjoy! Food was great and my husband said the New Orleans Room cooked a damn good steak. I guess it compared to a Chicago steakhouse. Overall we really enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning! read more

This hotel is beautiful, so it pains me to write this but our stay was so disappointing. We live in Omaha and booked a two night stay for our 10th anniversary. We were really looking forward to a relaxing day by the pool, which is really the main reason for wanting to stay here. The pool was so overcrowded, it was impossible to get a chair. We were initially patient, but ended up spending our entire day lurking for people about to leave, and even awkwardly asked a couple of people if they were coming back or leaving for good with no luck. As it turns out, they sell memberships for just the pool- apparently thousands of memberships as half the city was there. To be paying a significant amount to stay at a hotel and not have a spot at the pool was so frustrating. When we went to the front desk to see about checking out and refunding our second night because we were over it, we were basically told "No can do, I'm sorry that sucks, here's some drink tickets, never give up hope!" One of the employees did mention it may be due to the power outage that so many members flocked to the pool. Which I understand, but their handling of our situation really showed a lack of care for our experience. The service overall outside of that experience was pretty lackluster, but the hotel is beautiful, the food is good and the valets were very nice and helpful. Also the room was small and dark for $350 a night. The end. read more

Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel - King bed room with one small window. The room was smaller than I would expect for the price but nicely decorated and comfortable otherwise. - Hotels Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

What happened? We have stayed at the Kimpton Cottonwood a handful of times over the last few years. We come to expect great service, and beautiful atmosphere and an overall amazing experience. Unfortunately, the last time we stayed there for our anniversary in October of 2023, our expectations were far from met. On previous visits one of highlights has been enjoying a few drinks in the outdoor hot tub on a cold fall night. We have had no less than 3 romantic relaxing nights out there until around midnight. Upon checking in we were told that if we were out there past 10pm security would remove us. Ok, so new rules or new enforcement of previous rules is a thing which happens, but it was so poorly communicated I was taken aback by it. Next the room; the tv did not work, someone had to come up and fix it (super romantic) the usb charging ports next to the bed did not work. The following morning we requested some towels from the front desk on our way in from a morning dip in the hot tub. After waiting 20 min, I sorted some towels from the housekeeping safe on our floor. I put the do not disturb tag on the door and my wife and I hopped in the shower, only to discover fresh towels on the bed when we got out!! Super awkward and quite intrusive if you ask me. I would have called the desk to tell them that we no longer needed towels, but phone in the room also did not work. Many missed opportunities by the Kimpton lead to my wife and I getting "Home Alone 2'd" in the shower. We don't call this "our anniversary spot" anymore. read more

Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel - Fun times at the pool! - Hotels Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We decided to stay at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel based on recommendations from friends. The hotel overall is very nice and probably one of the more premier hotels in that city and it's located in the Blackstone District which is also nice! Would have given this place 5 stars, but when we got into our room, we noticed the moisturizer provided on the bathroom counter was half used. Makes you wonder if they actually cleaned the place and they offered to send a crew to make sure everything was cleaned. We left and at some point they came in to tidy up the place, but the bottle was still half empty. Clock in the room wasn't working which isn't a big deal since we have cell phones, but for a place like this, I was hoping attention to detail was a priority. The hand grip part of the closet doors are surprisingly difficult to grasp and pull open especially for a UFAS room (only mentioning this because they put us in a handicap accessible room for some reason). Parking here doesn't make any sense either. Valet is $30 or you can park your car in their associated parking lot at $37. You'd think parking your own car would be cheaper. One of the biggest perks though is the outdoor pool! Definitely can't go wrong with that. Overall the experience was good, but some minor details would make this place much better overall. read more

If this isn't one of the best hotels in Omaha, I don't know what is. The Kimpton Cottonwood excelled in customer service, aesthetic, creativity, and a reliable stay. Not only that, but they are pioneers in their market for how they not only host and take care of those who stay in their rooms, but reach out past their walls and welcome the community in to be apart of what they do, too. I personally love how friendly and welcoming they are to the community and make so many events possible for those surrounding them. The Cottonwood gives off captivating European vibes and captures an entire era within its walls. Every time I walk through the doors I feel like I'm being transported to a different time of life and feel such an ease and inspiration. The pool is exquisite, every room is laden with beauty, and you could spend hours in the bar / cafe area and not even know it. They are almost always kind, always welcoming, and always generously serving you in whatever you need. Their customer service and community outreach sets them apart, but their strive for excellence deserves a reward. I love having this hotel because it feels like a little stone of pride in Omaha. Photographers - call ahead to ask what they require of you! They are welcoming but limiting with who can do photos and what kind of photos, which makes sense because they want to preserve the atmosphere and photographers are like ants who swarm any given space that offers something out of the norm. Typically you can only do engagement photos there if the couple has signed a contract to have their wedding done there, otherwise they charge a fee I believe (could be wrong) - that or they just won't let you. In terms of other types of photography I'm not sure what they require, but if you want to rent the ballroom on the top floor there is a fee. This is not a cheap place to rent, have a wedding, or stay, but it is worth it for the experience. If anything, stop in and have a cup of tea in the cafe and just enjoy an afternoo read more

My husband and I booked a stay for our 4 year anniversary. We opted for the rate that included breakfast. Upon arrival the staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was pristine and luxurious. After checking in we came down for a swim and grabbed a few drinks from the pool side bar. The pool is breathtaking even with the close by construction. We had drinks and daily breakfast in the Orleans room where we received top tier service. The chop house and bar in the basement were stunning and we truly love the never ending amount of things to do and see here. We highly recommend the Kimpton to anyone looking to feel pampered and relaxed. We will for sure be back in the future. read more

Love this hotel. We come to Omaha on road trips to have a meal at the local vegan spot, Modern Love. Ever since the Cottonwood opened, it's been our go-to place. When in season, the pool is fabulous.

The hotel is beautiful, and in a nice neighborhood, but it is the people who either make, or break, the experience. which is why Taylor, in reception, deserves a big shout out for excellence. My recent rescue coonhound, Willy, all 80 lbs of him, and I are traveling across country in dead of winter, from Bar Harbor, Maine, to my native Los Angeles. The first few nights on the road, we stayed at Red Roof Inns, because I have never done a big road trip with a dog, and these low rent properties had been recommended by a friend. Red Roof Inns are hit or miss, so I decided to treat Willy and myself to a night at an IHG property. The check-in process is a tad chaotic, and Willy's been cooped up in a car for several long driving days. Thus, he decided to really cut loose in the hotel lobby during check-in. loudly howling, baying, pulling, especially towards a posh Standard Poodle, and her equally posh mistress. Neither of whom were having any of it. It was stressful and embarrassing, to say the least, but Taylor remained utterly calm, and welcoming throughout! She was kind, non-judgemental, upbeat, and even shared that her bloodhound, Verne, made her familiar with hounds. She subsequently followed up with dog bags, treats, and calm competence. I am a public relations consultant of 30+ years, and my daughter, in her 20s, is an LA publicist, who is in Miami this weekend on behalf of the NCAA Playoffs. When she called to check in yesterday, I told her all about Taylor, and how she handled our challenging situation, which is great PR for the IHG brand. In addition to all, she presents as attractive, and well put together. Taylor is an asset to the IHG organization. Also a shout out to tech guy, Chris, who got the 49ers game on the TV. Even though our team lost, he saved my night. Tray, in room dining, is super upbeat, and responsive. read more
