OMAHA, Neb. - Nov. 20, 2017 - Rezul -- Kansas City based GLI Hospitality has launched its fourth "Area Code" hotel, the 402 Hotel #thebigO in Omaha, NE.  GLI purchased the former motor lodge at 2211 Douglas Street in July of 2016 and recently completed a major overhaul of the property.

The 402 Hotel #thebigO is now open for business and leisure travelers that appreciate the value of a dollar!

The renovation of the decades-old motor lodge included constructing a new, larger lobby and the integration of a lobby 'bar' at the front desk to accommodate a GLI customer favorite – free evening beverages during the daily manager's reception.  The new, eclectic lobby décor blends modern and fun and features art from local artists alongside a new "back porch" game area.

"Omaha is the top feeder market for Kansas City and vice versa," said Doug Gamble, GLI Partner.  "Our Kansas City-Westport Hotel, the 816, was our first Area Code hotel and extensive cross marketing will occur between the properties/markets".

The 402 Hotel was the fourth hotel acquisition for GLI Hospitality.  GLI is building a regional collection of unique independent hotels using area codes as their branding.  The 816 Hotel (Kansas City-Westport), 913 Hotel (Overland Park, KS) the 316 Hotel (Downtown Wichita, KS), The 402 Zoo (Comfort Inn at Henry Doorly Zoo) and the 817 Hotel (next to ATT Stadium, Arlington, TX).
