The Omni Charlottesville Hotel Announces Completion of Major Renovation

Luxury Hotel Showcases Virginia Artistry

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Omni Charlottesville Hotel
has completed the finishing touches on the $3.5 million renovation of its 208
guest rooms and suites. The new decor, designed by Jillian Van Dresser of the
Van Dresser Company, offers guests an authentic blend of Virginia's unique
genteel hospitality with all of today's modern luxuries.

Van Dresser created a serene environment using neutral but rich fabrics and
colors and by choosing pieces that give the hotel a contemporary feel with a
nod to the area's history. The newly remodeled guest rooms also feature a
throw from the Andrew Morgan Collection, which approaches design by "combining
modern and organic influences." Furnishings for the guest rooms were all
domestically made and in some cases, regionally made. Hallway artwork
includes pieces by Virginia artists, scenes of Virginia including Thomas
Jefferson's home, Monticello, and authentic postcards from Michie Tavern.

The luxury hotel boasts a seven-story atrium and garden, setting the ultimate
stage for relaxing or dining, while the hotel's decor hints at the rich
history of Virginia. Quiet warmth exudes from custom-designed mahogany
furnishings and overstuffed chairs, while modern-day luxury reveals itself in
sleek Italian marble floors. Other recent renovations include the lobby and
12,000 square feet of meeting space, completed in 2007.
