FRISCO, TX  At a VIP-packed event in Frisco, Texas, executives from Omni Hotels & Resorts and the Dallas Cowboys, along with Frisco Mayor Maher Maso, previewed new details about the 300-room luxurious Omni Frisco Hotel. Representatives from the Frisco City Council, the Frisco Economic and Community Development Corporations, as well as the Frisco Convention & Visitors Bureau were on-hand to hear updates on the hotel development project and celebrate the progress already made at the site.

Set to open in early summer 2017, the luxury hotel will serve as a cornerstone of The Star development, which will be anchored by the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and The Ford Center. The Cowboys new headquarters facilities will be home to the entire football operations, including administrative offices, coaches' offices as well as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.  The Ford Center will be possibly the largest indoor stadium for amateur football in the country with seating for 12,000 and will serve as both the home venue for Frisco Independent School District (FISD) for events and activities, and the practice and training facility for the Cowboys.

"This extraordinary development and hotel will be a dynamic destination offering travelers a truly one-of-a-kind experience," said Mike Deitemeyer, President of Omni Hotels & Resorts. "The design and style of the hotel will honor the history of the Dallas Cowboys and the unbelievable progress of the city of Frisco. This hotel will be a true collaboration that reflects the local flavor of Frisco."
