Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel

What Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel does

Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel is a boutique hospitality property operated by Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, LLC, a subsidiary of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), housed in a restored 1920s landmark building at 302 S. 36th St. in Omaha's Blackstone District. The hotel opened under the Kimpton brand in 2015 (firmographic founding year recorded as 2020, reflecting current operating entity) and offers European-inspired, design-forward accommodations, including standard guest rooms and specialty/presidential suites, alongside four distinct on-site dining venues: The Committee Chophouse (a high-heat steakhouse), The Orléans Room + Petite Orléans (French/Cajun-inspired), The Cottonwood Room (lounge/bar), and Pool Club (poolside bar), plus private dining rooms. The property also operates over 13,000 square feet of meetings, weddings, and event space accommodating 2-200+ guests, supported by customizable on-site catering.

The business generates revenue from four streams: guest room accommodations (transient and group bookings), food & beverage across the four venues and private dining, meetings & events (corporate, weddings, social), and a recurring Cottonwood Social Club membership program. Distribution runs through the property's direct booking website (with IHG One Rewards integration and best-rate guarantees), the IHG global distribution system and app, third-party OTAs, and a dedicated corporate/group sales team reached at [email protected]. The hotel employs 37 people and serves leisure travelers, business travelers, wedding couples and families, corporate event planners, and the LGBTQ+ community in and around Omaha.

Operationally, the property benefits from IHG's loyalty platform, brand standards, and global distribution, while differentiating through its historic-building setting, design accolades (multiple 2026 MUSE Design Awards), and a diversified F&B and events platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; best available rates and member perks (complimentary WiFi, $30 spa credit, flexible cancellation, upgrade discounts) are offered via the IHG One Rewards program. Marketing is driven by direct website booking, IHG One Rewards, earned media in regional and national travel publications, and PR coverage in outlets such as Midwest Living, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Eater Omaha, and The Knot.
