The Spotlight on The Magnolia Omaha

Classic Charm Meets Downtown Convenience

Modern comfort with a touch of historic elegance, The Magnolia Omaha is a boutique-style hotel located just three blocks from the Old Market District and under a mile from major Omaha concert venues. With its vintage architecture and upscale vibe, it’s a favorite for travelers looking to stay close to the action while enjoying a peaceful night’s rest.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short stroll or complimentary shuttle ride away from downtown’s big-name stages and intimate venues. After the encore, retreat to a quiet, comfortable room with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and plush bedding. Late arrivals are no problem with a 4:00 PM check-in and easy 24-hour airport shuttle. Whether you're coming from a day of travel or a night of revelry, The Magnolia makes the transition seamless.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends hitting a weekend festival
Solo travelers chasing their favorite bands
Couples on a romantic music-filled getaway
Fans wanting a quieter post-show recovery spot
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you're just minutes away from the Old Market’s endless dining options — many serving late-night bites. Grab coffee from your in-room machine or explore nearby breakfast cafes for a slow start after a late night. The complimentary shuttle makes it easy to duck out for a quick meal, and the staff is always happy to recommend local favorites.

Nightlife Options

You’re steps from downtown Omaha’s vibrant nightlife scene. Whether you're looking for craft cocktail lounges, live music bars, or dance clubs, you’ll find something to match your vibe. While The Magnolia itself doesn’t host live music, it offers a laid-back lobby lounge perfect for a nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s location near the Old Market and its free downtown shuttle. Many highlight the hotel's elegant atmosphere, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms. It’s often described as a “hidden gem” for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing charm.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the building's historic nature means rooms can vary in size, and the hotel could use a few modern updates in décor. Others note that while the shuttle is a great perk, it can get busy during peak times — so plan ahead if you're catching a show!

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a stylish, well-located stay in downtown Omaha with easy access to venues and nightlife, The Magnolia Omaha hits all the right notes.

Mary, Norfolk, visiting Orpheum Theater Omaha Sun, 24 December 2017

Disgusting! Black in bed and shower. When I told the front desk they apologized but nothing else was done. A discount for the room would've been nice!

Disliked: Black gnats in bed and shower.

John, Norfolk, visiting Orpheum Theater Omaha Mon, 14 April 2014

We had tickets to the Orpheum presentation of The War Horse. Enjoyed being so close to The Old Market. We shall return!

Liked: Loved the atmosphere, both inside and outside The Magnolia. Love, love seeing people coming and going and had "ownership" of their stay. Breakfast was fantastic! Staff was great!
Disliked: The beds were listed as queen sized but was only double bed. We have queen sized at home so knew this wasn't correct. It's hard to please everyone but the mattress was so soft we kind of "gravitated" to the middle.

Very good

Liked: Love the history of the building! Its walking distance from everything you'd want to go do!
Disliked: We had to pay $21 for a movie to watch on our TV. That was disappointing as we could not stream anything and were ready to relax in our room after a wonderful cocktail from the restaurant. The cost of everything in the area is already high that just made you feel yucky.
