Indulge in convenient luxury at Hilton President

Sponsored by Hilton President Kansas City

Since 1926, the historic Hilton President has provided a stylish welcome for visitors to the heart of Kansas City. Today, it’s the only hotel located in the popular Kansas City Power & Light District and places guests just steps away from many of the city’s premier entertainment options.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and recognized by Historic Hotels of America, the storied property has played host to celebrities from Bob Dylan to Frank Sinatra, along with several U.S. presidents. A contemporary stay at Hilton President pairs all the allure of the building’s original Art Deco opulence with an array of modern amenities, delivering a striking experience in an unparalleled KC location.

Connected to the city

Thanks to an unrivaled location in the Power & Light District, you can make your way from a serene overnight stay to the center of all the action without missing a single moment. Attend an event at T-Mobile Center, catch a show at the Kansas City Live! Block or take your pick of the district’s countless entertainment venues—whatever brings you to Downtown KC, Hilton President promises a well-connected way to rest and relax between outings.

Less than a block from the free-to-ride KC Streetcar, a stay at Hilton President makes it easy to explore some of Kansas City’s most beloved neighborhoods. Whether you’re enjoying First Fridays in the Crossroads Arts District or browsing the treasured weekend farmers market in the historic River Market, it’s all accessible within minutes.

Drinks and dining at the Drum Room

Hilton President offers a full slate of culinary creations for every taste. Visit the Drum Room Lounge for finely crafted cocktails and bites, plus plenty of charm.

Originally established in 1941, the Drum Room still boasts sleek curves and wood finishes that echo the allure of the former drum-shaped bar behind its name. Today, the inviting space is open seven days a week, making it easy for the history-infused hotspot to serve as your destination for happy hour or a nightcap after an evening on the town.

A complete staycation with Providence American Restaurant

You don’t have to travel far to unwind and indulge. Whether you’re arriving from a local KC neighborhood or a nearby community, Hilton President simplifies the experience by bringing first-class amenities and thoughtfully crafted culinary creations under one roof.

For full-service dining, stay on the property and head to Providence American Restaurant, where you’ll find an appetizing menu of steaks, salmon, sandwiches and much more. Secure a reservation and make your weekend more delicious.
