The Cottonwood Hotel is the premier destination for Midwest explorers. Built in 1916, this Omaha landmark offers guests a glimpse of the past, while enjoying the modern luxuries Kimpton is known for. Discover our restaurants and lounges; from The Committee Chophouse to Petit Orleans, we offer the right flavors for the right moments. Live a little history when you walk into the modern restoration of the Cottonwood Room, made famous not only by its playful cocktails, but by the cottonwood tree art instillation which was, and is again, located in the heart of the lounge. After dining, wander through our public art collection, carefully curated by an Omaha local. When you are ready for bed, have a perfect night’s sleep in one of our premium guestrooms or suites.

Distinctive food and beverage options meet a comfortable, yet sophisticated environment in each of the hotel’s unique event spaces, making The Cottonwood the premier hotel to host friends, clients, and colleagues. Sunrise Yoga on the Rooftop Terrace, meetings in the expansive Gold Coast Ballroom, and outdoor breaks on the event lawn are just a few perks guests can look forward to experiencing. History is evident inside the rooftop Schimmel ballroom, proudly displaying original wood floors, hand-crafted plaster relief, expansive views of the city, and stunning outdoor terraces.

Want to explore the neighborhood? Welcome to the Blackstone District. The District’s classic structures along Farnam Street and those on the outlying blocks are home to restaurants, bars, and businesses that offer a variety of cuisines, entertainment, and modern-era services for patrons of all ages. All of these offerings are a short walk, or a quick Tuk-Tuk ride, away.

As a pool club member I’m in and out often! Francisco and Sam from valet are so great! Every time I need my car they are there with smiles and professionalism. They are quick, polite and the best of the best!

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly. I loved how they sent a text after check in to see if they could bring a dog bed and bowls up since we were adopting a puppy on this trip. I feel like they went above and beyond to make us comfortable throughout the stay. The hotel was very clean comfortable we cannot wait to come back and visit when the outdoor pool is open.

My expectations were a lot higher. Understand the historical piece of the hotel - front desk should have told me that story not the server. Because I was wondering about the old tile and worn areas of hotel. Brass elevators were worn - surely this was not something protected by history. Worn elevators made it feel dirty even though everything else was very clean. These could have been covered to resemble more of a period piece. Assume valet is just valet and not bell service? They didn’t ask if they could help with luggage. Even if they are contracted they are the first touch of the hotel so should be better trained. It was a cold and blustery night. They were busy and nice but not helpful. We had a king suite which had an odd layout. The bed was immediately by the door. Don’t understand why the bed wasn’t by the window. The desk could have gone where the bed is. Unless the canvas above the bed was historical? Bathroom was great and modernized. Window shades were difficult to reach in order to close all of them. We were on 7th floor and a loud party was upstairs and we couldn’t hear a thing so that was great!! We ate at Committee. Disappointed in the Delmonico especially for the price. This is Omaha - meat should be spectacular!! Our server Ashlyn was wonderful though. She has a lot of ground to cover. The layout of the Committee restaurant was odd and kind of cold. Again - could have kept the historical aspects but designed it better. Loved the bar area. I suggested that the Committee should become a speak easy maybe with small plates and put the restaurant somewhere else. Because it was a brutally cold and blustery night and we arrived late we appreciated not having to leave the hotel for good food and a comfortable bed. But likely not to stay here again.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of a great part of Omaha. We chose the Kimpton despite having activities planned downtown & this was 100% the right choice. AWESOME restaurants in the area including the hotel's own Orleans Room. We did cocktails at The Committee one night as a night cap and loved it. Such a great atmosphere. Room was beautiful and well appointed. Loved the details that speak to the historic nature of the property. The bathroom was huge & shower big and spacious. The tile work was beautiful. No design feature went overlooked. It is worth staying just to enjoy this gorgeous building. Beds were comfortable & staff was friendly. Especially the lovely woman who hosted Friday 4/7's wine hour! Love those Kimpton touches. If you're headed to Omaha, absolutely book this hotel-even if you have events happening in Midtown or Downtown, it isn't far ($6 uber or ~30 min walk) and far surpassed the other hotels we looked at a little closer to the 'heart' of downtown.

My sister and I enjoyed an exquisite lunch at the Cottonwood hotel restaurant. Lance, a most gracious and attentive server, ensured that our experience was all that we wanted. The veggie charcuterie board and famous Rueben sandwich was quite good and flavorful. Most importantly, parking was a snap. Jared, the valet, was prompt and attentive. He immediately took note that I had a handicapped placard and informed us that our parking would be free (normally 8.00). Jared took good care of us and held the doors open (car and hotel), and immediately recognized us upon our departure. Between Lance and Jared, Friday luncheon outing with sisters was a delightful experience.

Went to the bar in the basement next to the Committee Chophouse with friends and met a business associate as well. We got our last cocktail of the evening and were approached by two "managers" and verbally told we had to leave as the bar is closing. This was literally less than a minute after the bar staff told us they were closing but we can sit there until we finished our cocktails. The "managers" stood over us and were forcefully educating us on the fact we had to leave. I said "ok, where can we finish these drinks"? They replied "upstairs". We went upstairs as they followed us like police officers and the upstairs bar was closed. We were then forced to finish our cocktails at THE FRONT DESK. These guys just need some social etiquette training as well as patience.

We had an extraordinary dinner that was made so with delicious food and attentive service. We followed that with drinks at the bar. Our server, Justin, was particularly knowledgeable and friendly. And to cap it off the valet service was was quick and done with care. Highly recommend.
