A new 801-room hotel at the Broward County Convention Center will not open next month as originally planned, project officials confirmed this week.

The Omni hotel, at 1950 Eisenhower Blvd., was originally expected to open its doors to travelers this fall, but unspecified delays have put the long-awaited opening on hold.

Broward County documents stated the Omni was “anticipated to open in November 2025 pending continued construction progress.” But Aguirrechu said that timeline is uncertain and it’s not yet clear whether guests will be welcome starting in late 2025 or early 2026.
