Latest Kansas City hotel reviews
Pro
Friendly people, great barbecue, wonderful fine arts. You will be surprised how pretty it is.
Con
Lacking in public transportation; downtown is deserted (but changes are coming).
In a nutshell
Blues, Brews, Bar-B-Ques, and the CHIEFS at Arrowhead!
44 Reviews Throughout the Plaza are lights-like 280,000 strung up around and on the buildings. That is as long as 80 miles of lights strung. The tradition began in 1930, and now has compounded into an annual event that draws 500,000 people to come down on Thanksgiving evening to see the beginning of the light...
19 Reviews One museum can be pretty much like another. This is a war memorial that has a museum attached. That what sets it apart and makes it’s impact more meaningful. When taken as a whole it is extremely impressive. The experience begins with a drive down a tree lined avenue placed on a rise overlooking...
32 Reviews ....The Museum is open Tuesday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.. The Museum is closed on Mondays and on New Year’s Day, July 4, Thanksgiving, and December 24 and 25. Admission to the Museum's permanent collection is free...
17 Reviews Union Station in downtown KCMO is a grand old lady, still beautiful and friendly. Nice book store and other shops and places to eat. The KC railroad exhibit is nice, but for a $7 ticket, most of the displays were not in working order, there was no staff on hand to take our tickets or answer...
16 Reviews Kansas City has recently spent billions of dollars renovating downtown by taking a 10 block area in the heart of downtown and turning it into a revitalized shopping, dinning and nightlife area. It is anchored by the Sprint Center stadium which always has a concert going on, it can range from...
14 Reviews This is the nucleus of the midtown area between downtown and Westport which is at Main and 39th. The main intersection is Main and Pershing/22nd Street. Hall family developed this and it is big with many offices and condos and numerous shops and eateries. Value is over $200 million and has in excess...
4 Reviews and 373 Opinions It has always been pleasant when staying here-even though that was years ago for me. I have received...
3 Reviews and 220 Opinions This is one of the best places to stay and enjoy the luxury. Prices are generally reasonable for the...
20 Reviews Joe D's boasts one of the outstanding wine lists in the Kansas City area, and my foodie local friends swear by their eclectic but consistently interesting kitchen as well. When I was in the area recently, the weather was particularly pleasant, so we went there for one of leisurely Euro-style...
28 Reviews The only thing as good as cooking and eating southerners' style BBQ, is eating out with a bunch of great Oklahoma-ladies in a Missouri-Smokehouse. We've had great food, and been in great mood. Smokehouse Bar-B-Que offers great service, very friendly staff, good music. It's though not too much of a...
6 Reviews Kick up your heels and doe-see-doe. I've got a hankerin' for a cuppa' joe. Actually, it's not really like that. They play mostly contemporary country and alternate the lineup with a bit of alternative stuff. They do get guest appearances during the summer months. This year the concert lineup has...
13 Reviews Located at the historic 18th & Vine neighborhood in downtown Kansas City....the Blue Room is a smoke-free, acoustic friendly club....We saw the McFadden Brothers, originally from this part of the city and have been all over the world, performing their variety act; a mix of singing, jamming,...
6 Reviews If one place could illustrate the heartbeat of Kansas City, it would be the Plaza. Known as the first outdoor mall in the world, the outdoor district is peppered with 180 shops, 38 restaurants, numerous hotels and several entertainment venues. The Plaza abounds with activity almost around the clock....
5 Reviews If you like to cook, if you like to garden or if you like to do both you must visit this Kansas City institution. They have been at the same location for almost 100 years. What started as a farm seed business has grown over the years to become one of the best places in Kansas City to buy your...
4 Reviews We went to a wonderful celebration at the Union Station downtown Kansas City. It was for the Memorial Day holiday. They had the Kansas City Symphony play a patriotic concert, then there were fireworks over Liberty Memorial afterwards. They announced that there were 24,000 people attending the event...
3 Reviews One of the many places where you might hear live music in the metro area is in the entry way and food court of the Crown Center Shops. It may be a barber shop quartet, an elementary school choir, or it may be some of KC's professional jazz musicians. You never know who you might hear performing,...
17 Reviews The 18th and Vine Historic District has one of the best music museums around. It also has jazz and blues festivals during late summer. Also good night life. Robert Altman, a KC native, shot his movie Kansas CIty in this area. It's now the home of the Mutual Musicians Foundation. It's best, if you...
7 Reviews The Community of Christ (formally the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) has their world headquarters here. The religion has about a quarter of a million followers. Their temple is located across the street from the LDS visitors center, and is an interesting structure, winning...
3 Reviews Home of the American League's Kansas City Royals, Kauffman Stadium remains one of the country's most beautiful venue in which to watch a baseball game. In recent years since the death of long-time owner Ewing Kauffman, the team's years of glory and success have given way to years of futility....
4 Reviews It was very cold for April. Only 44 degrees! And at the end of the night it began to snow! But no matter how cold it was, it was definitely worth it. I with they had more publicity for the team because they are all very down to earth guys who play a great game. Can't wait to see them again. Make...
10 Reviews Another one of Kansas City's many public fountains, this is also on the bike/walking path east of the Plaza. The piece was designed by the famous Swedish sculptor Carl Milles. (For another piece by Milles, see the page about the "Konserthuset" on my Stockholm page.)
7 Reviews Orignally constructed in 1897, it's now the headquarters of Ozark National Life Insurance. Good for them for preserving this handsome building! The building's location at the corner of 9th & Locust gives it an anchor position at the northeast corner of the Civic Center
