Accommodations and Travel

Hotel Kansas City, an iconic landmark with a history dating back to its days as the Kansas City Club in 1882, re-opened in October 2020 and now sets a new standard for grand hospitality in KC and beyond. This upscale hotel is located in KC’s acclaimed Power & Light District, the epicenter of restaurants, live entertainment, and nightlife. And, like a well-composed jazz piece, KC offers seamless movement, courtesy of the free KC Streetcar (with a stop one block away), connecting you to dynamic destinations such as Crossroads Arts District, Union Station, and River Market. These areas are true masterpieces with art galleries, local produce, made-in-KC memorabilia, and a medley of shops and culinary offerings. And you’ll arrive in style, the new single-terminal Kansas City airport that opened in 2023 represents a total transformation of the passenger experience with the convenience of modern air travel in a facility with updated technology and amenities.  

Your visit to Kansas City is bound to be the crescendo of fall!
