�The addition of this new position reflects our commitment to aggressively grow Omni through acquisitions and new management opportunities.� said Mike Garcia, the company�s chief financial officer.  �John�s experience will be a valuable asset to Omni Hotels as we continue to extend the brand.�

Rosen joins Omni Hotels as it leads the hospitality industry in an economic resurgence.  The luxury hotel line opened three new properties in the last 13 months, including the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, the Omni San Diego Hotel, and most recently the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, which opened as scheduled in October despite enduring three hurricanes during the final stages of construction.  In addition, the company is working with the City of Fort Worth to develop the city�s downtown convention center hotel.  These state-of-the-art facilities provide meeting planners and corporate business travelers with essential amenities and services, such as free wi-fi and high speed Internet access.

Rosen brings a wealth of hospitality industry experience to Omni Hotels.  He most recently served as vice president of finance and administration for the development of Calistoga Ranch, a luxury resort and residential development in the Napa Valley led by Olympus Real Estate Partners and managed by Auberge Resorts.  His background also includes positions at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, PKF Consulting and various hotel operating positions.

Based in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas, Omni Hotels offers accommodations at 40 hotels and resorts in North America.
