The concept A six-story, 46,000-square-foot building raised from the ground up by developer Hawkeye Hotels, with a brick exterior chosen to match the neighboring historic warehouses of the Old Market. Hawkeye Hotels exited at opening, handing operations to NCG Hospitality. The property applies Marriott's Moxy format — compact rooms, communal ground-floor social spaces — to a mid-sized Midwestern downtown.
Dining & wellness Bar Moxy anchors the ground floor as the hotel's all-day bar and lounge; The Lounge and The Library round out the property's social spaces, though a standalone restaurant concept is not documented.
Our take A straightforward read of the Moxy playbook: small, efficient rooms traded for an outsized ground-floor social scene, pitched at Marriott's lifestyle/upper-midscale tier rather than a luxury boutique register.

The very first thing to catch your attention is the incredible smell when you first walk through the door. I looked forward to returning every time I left. I have to know what it is. The lobby was playful and cozy with great areas to relax and work. I found myself spending the majority of my time down there having a drink at the bar, reading a book, or getting work done on my laptop. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location can’t be beat for the proximity to Old Market. I will absolutely be staying here again.
Autumn, who checked us in, was beyond lovely and gave great details about the brand and hotel - definitely sold us on staying at the Moxy more in the future. It was Marriott hospitality through and through. The welcome drink was a great surprise that comes with the Moxy brand - and much needed after the drive. The rooms were cute, bed was comfy, and the decor was adorable. I loved the European vibe of the entire place. It's location is walking distance from many awesome places including Con Azucar (Mexican coffee shop). All in all, we will be back to this location on our next Omaha trip.
Totally love this hotel and the fun and funky vibe that it has from start to finish. We appreciate that the check-in desk is right inside the lobby bar! In the lobby they have plenty of areas for meet and greet, And they have lots of games including baggo, bar table shuffleboard, chess and checkers, cups games. They also had classic old school arcade games like Miss Pac-Man and Pac-Man that you could play for free!! Totally love that! Our room was great and the beds were extremely comfortable. We appreciate the slim line format of the rooms that were impeccably clean, and modern. We love that the Marriott family of hotels has expanded into a younger and hip vibe with the Moxie hotels offering. We love that there is a self parking lot across the street and this hotel is within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops! Autumn at the front desk was the most wonderful and welcoming person for the job! We really appreciate their kind and efficient way to quickly get people checked in. Autumn was very helpful in giving us directions and suggestions in this neighborhood.
The Moxy Hotel in downtown Omaha delivers a genuinely standout stay. The first thing you notice is the exceptionally friendly staff — every team member offers a hello, checks in on how your stay is going, and asks what they can do to help. It creates a warm, upbeat atmosphere that feels consistent from the moment you walk in.
A special shout‑out to Jacey in the hospitality area. I watched her manage multiple guests at once with proficiency, friendliness, and impressive attentiveness. She answered questions, handled service requests, and kept everything moving smoothly without ever losing her smile. She’s a perfect example of the service culture the hotel seems to pride itself on.
The property itself is clean, comfortable, and well‑maintained, with the modern, energetic vibe you expect from a Moxy. Rooms and common areas feel fresh, uncluttered, and thoughtfully designed. Location is another major win. The hotel sits right near the Old Market, making it easy to walk to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and local events. Whether you’re in town for business, a weekend getaway, or a night out, the spot couldn’t be more convenient.
A friendly team, clean and comfortable spaces, and a perfect downtown location make this an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Omaha.
Cozy rooms. Great vibes. Convenient to have a bar in the lobby.
We loved our stay here. Rooms are compact but still a great size for two people for one night. Window shades make the room super dark. Best hotel shower I have ever used.
Location is right in the Haymarket which is super convenient. We stayed for a show at the Orpheum and it was easy walking distance.
Loved that there was a bar in the lobby if you need a snack or drink. They also give you a free welcome drink. Awesome start to the stay.
Helpful note: The hotel only offers ~$40 valet parking but there is a garage right across the street for $22 overnight parking.
