On Tuesday, Omni Hotels & Resorts, the City of Raleigh, and the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts will host a ceremony to celebrate the continued revitalization of downtown, which includes the development of the Omni Raleigh Hotel and the unveiling of the redesigned plaza.
As the grand entrance to the Martin Marietta Center for Performing Arts, Lichtin Plaza has undergone several improvements designed to enhance accessibility, expand green space, and create a more welcoming arrival experience.
Key upgrades include:
- Dedicated drop-off lane
- Added wheelchair accessible ramps into Raleigh Memorial Auditorium
- Enhanced green space and new flexible gathering space
The new Omni Raleigh Hotel is directly across the plaza, which strengthens the connection between where visitors stay and where they gather, supporting increased visitation and the continued vibrancy of downtown Raleigh.
