Ed Netzhammer, who oversees hotel operations in California and Texas, also will serve as general manager for the 23-story, 1,000-room hotel set to open in early 2012, Irving-based Omni said Thursday. Netzhammer, 47, joined Omni in 2002 and supervised the opening of two other hotels adjacent to convention centers: the Omni Fort Worth Hotel, which opened a year ago, and the Omni San Diego Hotel. He joined the Dallas team Monday, days before the city is to host an annual meeting of a convention planners' trade group. With no hotel to show off, members of the Professional Convention Management Association will see schematics of the hotel meeting space and a 4-foot-wide acrylic model.
