The private equity investor Robert Rowling of TRT Holdings bought the Omni Hotels in February 1996 from World International Holdings, Ltd. and the Hong Kong–based conglomerate, The Wharf (Holdings) Limited.[3]
In 2000, Omni Hotels struck a deal with Turner Broadcasting to build a 600-room north tower next to the CNN Center. The hotel opened in 2003. Omni bought Time Warner's shares of the building in 2017.[4]
In 2010, Omni Hotels purchased the Omni Amelia Island Resort in Florida for $67.1 million.[3]
