    Endless Experiences

    For some people, the definition of relaxation is a serene day spent on the links, perfecting their swing and chasing that elusive hole-in-one. For others, a therapeutic massage, calming facial, or fresh mani-pedi is the ticket to transcendent bliss.

    No matter which camp you fall into, Omni PGA Frisco Resort is where you'll find the perfect escape. The eagerly anticipated, $520 million resort is accepting reservations for May 2023 and beyond, while spa bookings and tee times will become available in April.

    Indulge in a massage.

    Here's what's waiting for you at this dream destination:

    Fore!
    The resort boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses, collectively known as Fields Ranch. Fields Ranch East was designed by Gil Hanse, and Fields Ranch West by Beau Welling.

    Registered hotel guests can book tee times 120 days in advance of their stay to play Fields Ranch, which will be home to 26 major championships starting in May and continuing through 2034.

    More golf goodness
    Not ready for the full 18-hole experience? Take a few practice swings at the Fields Ranch Practice Facility, then head to The Swing, a lighted 10-hole, par-3 short course, or The Dance Floor, a two-acre putting course and entertainment area.

    This will also be the site of Frisco's first Lounge by Topgolf and PGA of America's new headquarters.

    Take advantage of all that expertise at the PGA Coaching Center, which offers a high-tech, data-driven club-fitting and instruction experience.

    A variety of retail and dining concepts throughout the mixed-use development, known as the Monument Realty PGA District, are also coming soon.

    Say "spaaaa"
    Omni’s signature full-service salon and spa, Mokara Spa, boasts 20 private treatment rooms, all dedicated to "The Art" collection.

    The Art of Self Care encompasses Swedish techniques, deep therapeutic massages, and couple massages, plus the latest sports massage techniques and pressure point therapy for sports enthusiasts.

    The Art of Skin Care offers facials that range from anti-aging and renewing to organic and calming, all blending natural beauty with advanced science and producing personalized results and a transformed feeling.

    The Art of Salon Care encourages you to pamper yourself from head to toe with signature manicures and pedicures, specialized hair services, and artistic makeup services.

    Guests can also treat their whole mind, body, and spirit at Green Cactus Cafe with wellness-driven foods including lite bites, healthy juices, elixirs, and sweet treats.

    For a final indulgent touch, relax at the spa pool with private cabanas or recharge at the 24/7 fitness center and walking trails.

    Dive in
    Speaking of swimming pools, there are four total from which to choose. Families can post up at either of the two leisure pools, one of which features an attached splash pad.

    Adults can gather at the child-free rooftop infinity pool and order up a cocktail from Bluestem Bar, all while enjoying panoramic views of the stunning fairways and Texas sky. Private cabanas are available at all pools for that VIP touch.

    Stay a while
    There's clearly too much to pack into one day, so you'd better book a room and stay for several. Omni PGA Frisco Resort features 500 luxurious guest rooms and suites with rates starting at $359 per night.

    Those seeking a truly luxurious retreat can book one of the 10 four-bedroom private Ranch Houses, each with panoramic golf course views, upgraded amenities, and a 24/7 Experience Concierge for an added VIP service experience.

    Explore this one-mile campus and all it has to offer this summer, no matter what type of getaway you're seeking. To book and learn more about the new Omni PGA Frisco Resort, visit OmniPGAFriscoResort.com or connect on Facebook and Instagram.

    a major award

    Art-filled boutique hotel in the Heights earns coveted Michelin Key

    A boutique hotel in the Heights is one of seven Texas properties to earn a coveted Michelin Key. The Hotel Daphne, a Bunkhouse property that opened in 2025, joins these other Texas stays on the list:

    • Four Seasons Hotel Austin
    • The Frances Modern Inn (Austin)
    • Hotel 1928 (Waco)
    • Missing Hotel (Marble Falls)
    • The Ritz-Carlton Dallas (Las Colinas)
    • Sophie’s Gasthaus (New Braunfels)

    In its entry on the Michelin website, the Guide’s inspectors hail the five-story, 49-room property, which is also home to Hypsi, an Italian restaurant led by Houston chef Terrence Gallivan, and Bar Daphne, an art-filled cocktail bar. The hotel's walls are adorned with more than 160 pieces from the Ackerley Family Collection, which focuses on works created by living Texas artists.

    A bohemian Bunkhouse hideaway and One-Key in Houston’s The Heights, with 49 rooms, a library, and a restaurant serving house-made pasta. Select suites come with a balcony; unexpected details include stitched floral headboards and funky soap dishes. A lobby shop sells locally produced jewelry and home décor.

    “Being awarded a Michelin Key is a testament to our wonderful team and all the hard work they have put in to make Daphne what it is,” owner Ben Ackerly tells CultureMap. “The Heights community has been great in how well we’ve been received, and now that is being recognized on a broader scale with this accolade.”

    Announced Friday, September 18, Michelin added 65 properties in America to its list of Key-worthy stays, bringing the overall total to more than 350 hotels nationwide. Hotel Daphne is the fifth Houston hotel to earn One Key status, joining The Post Oak Hotel, Hotel ZaZa Houston (Museum District), Hotel ZaZa Memorial City, and the Hotel Saint Augustine, a Bunkhouse property in Montrose. The Carr Mansion in Galveston also holds one Michelin Key.

    Similar to the famous Michelin Stars awarded to restaurants, hotels may receive one, two, or three keys, which is defined as follows:

    • One Michelin Key for hotels that offer "very special" stays with service that "provides significantly more than similarly priced establishments."
    • Two Michelin Keys for "exceptional stays" where memorable guest experiences are "always guaranteed" with a special emphasis on the hotel's design or architecture.
    • Three Michelin Keys for hotels that provide "extraordinary stays" for "the ultimate in comfort and service, style and elegance."

    No properties in Texas hold three Michelin Keys. The state’s only two key properties are the Commodore Perry Estate (Austin), the Bowie House (Fort Worth), and Hotel Emma (San Antonio).
