Hotel Deco (15th & Harney) Former Redick Hotel

[nativeomahan]

I poked my head in the windows the other day and they look quite a long way from opening.  I would say at least a month off.

The hotel and the Zin room opened today.
They are both beautiful

I hadn't seen this till recently.  Craig Ferguson talking about his experience at the "haunted" Hotel Deco.  Pretty funny starts about 3 mins in.

The AAA travel club has rated the Redick's replacement, the year-old Hotel Deco XV, as a four-diamond hotel. That's an honor only 3 to 4 percent of hotels earn nationally.

And don't think Hotel Deco is satisfied with four. Staffers barely celebrated the four-diamond achievement before planning for five-diamond status. That's extremely rare; the closest cities to Omaha with five-diamond hotels? Chicago, Denver and St. Louis.

So this means The Great Wall of Hilton can't boast about being the only one anymore.

I believe Hotel Deco XV's Encore Lounge is being turned into the Wicked Rabbit Lounge.

I guess it turns out to be Heritage Food & Wine instead...

[nativeomahan]

Dumb name.

[ricko]

Really Dumb.

So people on this site are better at marketing than I am, what is this place going to be? Is it a bar/restaurant? Is it going to be a Brix like place?

Sounds like the dining room at a retirement home.

Ongoing conversation is going on over here: Heritage Food & Wine (formerly Zin Room)

There was a small barber shop in this building facing Harney street. Does anyone know if that space had been developed into something? Does the hotel have any plans for the space?

I think Wicked Rabbit is still going to open in the building.

A bit of a thread revival, but I walk by this building daily, and there is a new, small cigar/spirits shop called Looking Glass in this bay. Haven't made it in yet, but looks pretty cool. It's these small, "miniscule" developments, that you might walk by a few times before noticing, that really add to the character of a city.

Here is a picture from Hanscom Park Studios, off of instagram (note: not my picture):

That's basically a part of the "Wicket Rabbit." Inside there is a liquor/cigar store and you have to ask for hidden door to Wicked Rabbit.

$2.4m Renovation of the building.

There was a steakhouse in this building and associated with the hotel called Monarch Prime - my wife and I really enjoyed it a few times and then felt it went somewhat downhill, at least for the price. It's been closed for Covid since the first half of 2020, and I get the impression it is permanently closed now. Anybody know what all this renovation impacts?

This renovation include every room, elevators, washrooms...
They made it sound like the restraurant would be returning when safe to open.

[PWL73316]

I hope it does come back when safe - my impression is partly based on the total lack of communication online (eg. the Facebook has not been updated since March, even to say they are temporarily closed, the actual website is no longer up). Usually that's an indication of a business going under, but I hope that's a misimpression in this case.

According to Downtown Omaha instagram, Hotel Deco and the Monarch restaurant are back open. I've seen a lot of activity there the last few weeks of them getting everything finalized.

This opened as a Raddison hotel sometime in the late 80’s. One of the best Art Deco buildings in the entire region.
