KC Hotel Updates and Renovations
New hotels continue to dot the landscape in Kansas City, offering up-scale accommodations, dining, amenities and more.
Kansas City offers plenty of great places to lay your head, grab a bite or hold a meeting. In fact, the metropolitan area already touts more than 36,000 hotel rooms—with 6,500 committable rooms in the convention core.
Since 2020, two new hotels have opened, with three more set to open in fall 2024. From historic renovations to brand-new properties, here is the latest buzz on KC’s hotel renaissance. Check back often as this page is updated regularly.
Opening Soon
AC Hotel Kansas City Downtown – The new 238-room AC Hotel Kansas City Downtown is slated to hold its grand opening this September 2024 after taking over the historic Rialto Building.
Just steps from premier attractions like T-Mobile Center, the Power & Light District and the Kansas City Convention Center, guests will be able to dine at AC Kitchen + Café and then enjoy drinks and Spanish tapas at AC Lounge.
Origin Hotel Kansas City – Opening in September 2024, the 118-room Origin Hotel Kansas City will be the first hotel to take up residence in the city’s thriving Berkley Riverfront.
This new boutique hotel is within walking distance of the history-making CPKC Stadium, home of the KC Current, and the upcoming Kansas City Streetcar extension. Origin Hotel will also feature over 4,800 square feet of meeting space, farm-to-table dining at its onsite restaurant, Show Pony, and locally inspired art throughout.
Atwell Suites Kansas City Airport – Less than 3 miles from Kansas City International Airport’s new, nationally recognized terminal, the upcoming Atwell Suites Kansas City Airport is set to open in November 2024.
This 104-suite property is designed to help travelers seamlessly switch between work and rest with coworking spaces, a private meeting room and a 24-hour fitness studio.
New Properties
Cascade Hotel Kansas City – Kansas City is also still celebrating the October 2023 opening of the Cascade Hotel Kansas City in the luxurious Country Club Plaza neighborhood.
With 175 rooms, this modern hotel offers a food hall with four unique restaurant concepts, a rooftop bar, full-service spa, and stunning views of the Plaza’s Spanish architecture. The property also has nearly 15,000 square feet of meeting space with its largest room able to hold 450 people for events of all sizes.
Aloft Hotel Country Club Plaza – Its sister property Aloft Hotel Country Club Plaza opened in January 2023. The $100 million dual-hotel development is connected via a walkway, allowing guests to take advantage of amenities at both hotels.
Other Recent Openings
Loews Kansas City – The Loews Kansas City, which opened in 2020, includes 800 guestrooms, a lobby bar, a signature restaurant, indoor lap pool and 60,000 square feet of meeting and event space, which connects directly to the Kansas City Convention Center with a new connector bridge.
Opened in June 2020, the hotel is in walking distance to key attractions and other destination landmarks like the Kansas City Power & Light District, Sprint Center, KC Streetcar and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
Hotel Kansas City – Part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection, this 144-room property opened in Downtown's iconic Kansas City Club building in October 2020.
The hotel's thoughtful design fosters moments of great nostalgia, paying homage to the building's history as a prominent 1920s social club. Amenities include The Town Company restaurant, a cellar saloon (El Gold, opening in 2021) and event space totaling more than 20,000 square feet, including multiple ballrooms and a 6,000-square-foot rooftop.
21c Museum Hotel Kansas City – 21c Museum Hotels rehabilitated the historic Savoy Hotel and Grill in Downtown Kansas City.
Like its sister properties, 21c Kansas City is woven into the fabric of Downtown, welcoming both visitors and members of the community to enjoy its curated exhibitions, cultural programming and culinary offerings. The 120-room boutique hotel, fine dining restaurant and contemporary art museum opened in summer 2018.
Crossroads Hotel – Once the site of a Pabst bottling facility, two buildings converted into one make up this new, 131-room boutique hotel that showcases its historic roots in a stylish, modern setting. The property touts meeting spaces, a restaurant, a bar and lounge and a rooftop deck—and an emphasis on local touches and amenities.
Hotel Indigo - Downtown – Opened in 2018, this boutique hotel (which is part of the InterContinental chain) is located in a converted 12-floor office tower right in the middle of Downtown KC, featuring 118 rooms with 27 luxury apartments on the top three floors.
Hotel Indigo - Crossroads – This 81-room property pays homage to the history of Kansas City's thriving arts scene thanks to local artwork that's incorporated throughout the three-story hotel—all only two blocks away from a KC Streetcar stop.
Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City Downtown Crossroads – Within walking distance of the Power & Light District—and only steps away from a KC Streetcar stop—this addition to Downtown Kansas City's hotel scene brings even more excellent lodging options for meeting planners and visitors. The $25-million property touts 132 guest rooms and countless amenities for guests to enjoy.
Hilton Home2 Suites – At a cost of $19.3 million and only a short walk to 40 art galleries, a five-story Home2 Suites by Hilton has emerged at 20th and Main streets in the trendy Crossroads Arts District.
KC-based True North Hotel Group operates the area’s first Hilton Home2 Suites, which opened in early 2018 and features 115 rooms, extended stay suites with refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves and contemporary style. Earth-conscious products and services include wall-mounted bath amenities, multiple recycling stations and a saline swimming pool. The hotel also offers free breakfast and Home2 MKT—a small on-site 24/7 grocery store.
Renovations & Remodels
Meanwhile, several other Kansas City hotels have undergone significant renovations. Here are a few of the highlights.
