Why People Love It

  • The 'Billionaire To Be' industrial-chic design that actually feels expensive
  • Floor-to-ceiling windows with killer views of the downtown skyline
  • Catalyst Urban Lounge's massive outdoor terrace—the place to be seen in the Old Market

Quick Take: A sexy, modern glass tower that feels like it belongs in Chicago or Austin, dropped right into the middle of the Old Market.

Reviewed by @sushigirl_atx: I checked into The Farnam and was blown away by this suite. The city views from bed are incredible, and those welcome desserts made me feel like total royalty. Definitely the most stylish stay in Omaha.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers are consistently shocked by how high-end and spotless this place feels for Omaha.

Reality check

You will pay for every extra—$35 valet, $20 breakfast—and the 'cool' lighting controls can be annoying to figure out.

  • You appreciate high-design interiors with railroad-inspired industrial touches
  • You want to be steps away from the Gene Leahy Mall and Old Market nightlife
  • You need a serious gym (Peloton bikes included) rather than a sad basement treadmill

Cleanliness & Maintenance

9.8
  • Housekeeping: impeccable. Reviews consistently cite this as one of the cleanest hotels in the Midwest.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. Grout is white, glass is streak-free, and no signs of the dreaded 'pink mold'.
  • Maintenance: Like new. The hotel opened recently (2021) and still feels fresh out of the box.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count sheets and fluffy, oversized towels that don't feel like sandpaper.
  • Odors & scents: Signature 'woodsy/expensive' scent in the lobby; rooms smell neutral and fresh.

Before you book

Good to know

  • Valet is $35/night with in/out privileges; self-park is $21/night in the attached garage
  • The hotel is connected to the Landmark Center, making it easy to navigate downtown
  • Check-in is strictly 3 PM, and they are often fully booked, so early check-in is rare without a fee

What to pack

  • Smart casual outfits—the Catalyst lounge is a 'dress to impress' spot
  • Walking shoes—the Old Market's brick streets are charming but uneven

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Corner King rooms (ending in roughly xx01 or xx12) for dual-aspect city views
  • Visionary Suite for a splurge—huge layout with a soaking tub and epic skyline vantage points

Rooms to avoid

  • Lower floor rooms facing Farnam Street if you are extremely light-sensitive (streetlights)
  • Rooms directly near the elevator bank if you want to avoid weekend foot traffic noise

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I'd love to request a high-floor Corner King room away from the elevators. If available, a view facing the Gene Leahy Mall would be fantastic.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is there a pool?

No. Do not be fooled by generic travel site listings; there is absolutely no pool.

Is breakfast included?

No. You can grab coffee/pastries at Lone Tree Landing or a full sit-down meal at Dynamite ($15-25/person).

Can I bring my dog?

No. The Farnam is strictly human-only unless you have a documented service animal.

How is the parking situation?

Convenient but paid. The attached garage is safe and covered. Valet is smoothest if you plan to drive often.

Is it loud at night?

Generally no. The soundproofing is excellent, though you are in the city center so some ambient hum is expected.

How far is the Old Market?

You are literally in it. Step outside and you're blocks away from the best dining and shops.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The 'Lone Tree Landing' coffee shop in the lobby closes early (often 2 PM), so get your caffeine fix in the morning.

  • ✨

    Ask for a room facing the newly renovated Gene Leahy Mall for the best green-space views.

  • ✨

    The gym has 'Fitness on Demand' virtual classes if the Pelotons are taken.

5 things to know before you go
