Omni Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to develop a hotel at the future site of the Cowboys World Headquarters, which is adjacent the publicly funded multiuse events center and other planned development.





The 300-room, full-service hotel will feature meeting space, a ballroom and several restaurant and bars, including a rooftop pool deck, according to a news release.





"We knew we had a world-class partner with the Dallas Cowboys, and now we have a world-class hotel partner in Omni," said Mayor Maher Maso. "This partnership marks a significant milestone in the development of an exciting, unique project. The synergy surrounding this mixed-use development is building upon Frisco's growing reputation as vibrant community offering something for everyone, whether you're a conventioneer, sports enthusiast or looking for family friendly entertainment. We're extremely excited to work together to deliver a first-class hotel facility to our community—something all residents in Frisco can be proud of, and ultimately benefit from."





The Omni Frisco Hotel is expected to break ground in the spring of 2015, with a scheduled opening set for early 2017.





Stephen Jones, chief operating officer and executive vice president for the Dallas Cowboys, said in a statement the Cowboys could not be more proud of the partnership.





"Omni is one of the country's top-rated luxury hotel brands, popular with business travelers and vacationers, alike," Jones said. "As one of the most recognizable and popular brands in the world ourselves, it makes perfect sense that we would team up to bring to life this extraordinary development."





Omni has four properties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including the Omni Dallas Hotel, Omni Fort Worth Hotel, Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas and the Omni Dallas Hotel at Park West.





"The Dallas Cowboys is one of the most iconic sports franchises in the world, and it is truly an honor to work with them to raise Frisco's profile as a dynamic and exciting destination for sports fans, meeting planners, as well as business and leisure travelers alike," said Mike Deitemeyer, president for Omni Hotels & Resorts. "This promises to be a powerhouse development that will attract millions of people each year to the vibrant Frisco community."
