According to a rumor passed along on last Saturday's Grow Omaha Radio Show...
The Double Tree at 72 and Mercy could be going back to an Embassy Suites.

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
I wonder why it ever changed in the first place.

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
I hope so. Embassy would be much better to have on 72nd anyways. But i believe the structure isn't large enough to support the prototype for Embassy.
Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
This ended up becoming "Aksarben Suites"
Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
This place has closed now. Looks like some construction may be going on. Anybody heard anything on it?

Might have been short term. Looks like it's open again. If you go, ask them what's been going on. Would love to know status.
I also went by the one at 72nd and Center that houses Shark Club, and now it looks closed. Sign down and they would not let you enter parking lot from 72nd. Anybody know this status?

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
The Double Tree was closed for renovation but is now open.

The hotels I've been referring to are at 72nd and Center area (one is the Ak Sar Been Suites that was originally Embassy Suites), are you referring to that or the current DoubleTree at 72nd and I80 that has been open for a while?

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
Aksarben Suites @ 72nd and Cedar. I just called them again and was told they were closed for renovation from 1/1 thru 4/30. They reopened on 5/1.Greg S wrote:hatwate wrote:The Double Tree was closed for renovation but is now open.

Great info, thanks! I wonder if something similar is going on with the hotel across Center?

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
Rezone request here from commercial to R8. Building might be going to apartments, could be fairly attainable rents if it’s just a conversion and not a full redevelopment. Zoning docs should be uploaded later today or tomorrow with more detail.
EDIT: 181 apartments proposed, 169 of them studios.

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
It's a little odd that they skip 1 bedrooms altogether with the other 12 being two beds. I am guessing straight conversion. There's a neat courtyard, each unit could have it's one balcony space, this could be an interesting apartment complex.iamjacobm wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 12:02 pm Rezone request here from commercial to R8.

Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
Could be interesting. The building itself is still attractive and has aged well.
Re: Double Tree back to Embassy Suites
I don't think that it's a terrible idea. A lot of University students live in this area, and I can imagine some of them would be interested in this location.

Re: Former Double Tree/Embassy Suites/Granada Royale
I noticed yesterday that the former Granada Royale (and several later name changes) at 73rd and Cedar is closed off.
Re: Former Double Tree/Embassy Suites/Granada Royale
This one is still in the works. Up for rezoning to R8 residential, 181 studios and 12 2 beds.

Re: Former Double Tree/Embassy Suites/Granada Royale
Good to get it back as a property serving a purpose. Obviously it will add population density along a major arterial roadway.
