The Dunfey Family of New England founded the company in 1958. From humble beginnings at the 35-room Lamie’s Motor Inn in Hampton, New Hampshire, the business eventually grew to more than 8,000 rooms across North America. In 1983, upon acquisition of Omni International Hotels with three properties in Atlanta, Norfolk and Miami, Dunfey changed its name to Omni Hotels and focused on operating first-class, full-service hotels.
