Located on the St. Johns River, Jacksonville offers something for everyone: outdoor fun, unique shopping and dining, nightlife and entertainment, exciting cultural events and a riverfront festival marketplace. The Omni Jacksonville Hotel puts you close to everything, including the Jacksonville Landing Riverfront Marketplace just next door, with more than 70 shops, restaurants and live entertainment.
The hotel is also near Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the Times-Union Center for Performing Arts and the Jacksonville Museum of Science and History (MOSH).
