The Farnam, Autograph Collection celebrates Omaha’s industrial beginnings with the development of the first transcontinental railroad in 1862 but adds a contemporary design-forward spin. It was named after Henry Farnam, who was responsible for the railroad crossing through Omaha, thereby turning the river town into a commercial hub.
Housed in the former Landmark Center tower, the office-building-turned-luxury-hotel was lovingly brought to life by local couple Jason and Angie Fisher to showcase Omaha’s welcoming spirit and history. The first-time hoteliers enlisted the help of the Chicago-based Gettys Group, which transformed the mixed-use building into an Instagram-worthy homage to Omaha's industry and innovation.
Industrial-chic design (think leather furnishings, textured woods and iron and brass accents) melds with historical touches (rooms feature lantern-inspired lamps, art hanging on pulleys and side tables constructed with railroad ties) throughout. In addition to its stylish aesthetic, the boutique hotel boasts a prime address near the city’s top attractions, including the Old Market district and Henry Doorly Zoo, making it a convenient home base for exploring everything Omaha has to offer.
