The Saunders-Kennedy Building became the home of World Insurance Company in 1948 and remained so until 1987, marking a significant chapter in the building’s history.

Standing at the entrance, you mirror generations before—shoppers, business leaders, and theatergoers who once filtered past its doors.

Today’s entryway not only preserves the bones of the historic design but proudly showcases the restoration craftsmanship that ensured every stone, window, and decorative element was either maintained or faithfully brought back.

Step into a story over a century in the making. Originally built in 1912 as the Saunders-Kennedy Building, this Renaissance Revival–style landmark was designed by famed architect John Latenser Sr.

Explore the beautifully restored lobby that pays homage to the building's history.

The exterior evokes early 20th-century Omaha grandeur. Notice the symmetrical organization of the façade, pronounced stone detailing, and the decorative cornices.

Enjoy soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, flatbreads, and our signature Gilded Combo—all crafted with quality ingredients and bold flavors.

In a landmark setting

The Peregrine’s lobby isn’t just where a visit begins—it’s where every guest finds a sense of place. The fusion of restored grandeur, contemporary art, and community partnership extends an open invitation: here, everyone is welcome, and every story matters.

Anchoring the space behind the front desk is a striking falcon-themed mural by local artist Dave Koenig. This collaborative masterpiece, brought to life in partnership with Partnership 4 Kids, blends individual canvases painted by Omaha students. Each piece speaks to the artists’ personal identities, dreams, and hopes, uniting into the powerful image of a peregrine falcon in flight. The mural is more than a tribute—it is a living expression of diversity, equity, and inclusion, making the lobby a compassionate canvas for community and belonging.

Upon entering the lobby, you’re immediately greeted by the vibrant intersection of past and present. Historic stonework, grand ceiling heights, and stately window bays evoke the building’s Renaissance Revival origins, beautifully restored and thoughtfully adapted for the modern guest. Every architectural detail, from elegant moldings to terrazzo floors, nods to the site’s heritage while establishing an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.

Inspired by the grace of the peregrine falcon, the lobby’s design incorporates gentle curves, feather-pattern motifs, and elegant metallic finishes. Soft lighting and layered textures bring warmth to communal seating areas. The setting encourages both leisurely gatherings and intimate moments, reflecting the dual legacy of the hotel: a storied past paired with forward-thinking hospitality.
