Omaha, Nebraska's historic Old Market district began as a cluster of warehouses for wholesale distributors along the railway. Today, with its brick streets and many of the old buildings still in use, it is downtown Omaha's entertainment district, offering plenty of dining, shopping, art galleries and nightlife.
Occupying the old Aquila Court Building, the Roman columns and marble flooring of this luxury boutique hotel reflect the building's original 1920s Italian design. Guests will enjoy the 24-hour fitness room, business center and on-site bar and lounge. Guest rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with blackout curtains, in-room Starbucks coffee and wired Internet access. Wireless Internet is available in public areas. The Magnolia Hotel pampers its guests with a free breakfast buffet, a free beer and wine reception in the early evening, and cookies and milk before bed.
