The Best Hotels to Book in Missouri

Described as “Kansas City’s original boutique hotel”, this Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel is redolent of European glamor and charm. The hotel, located in a historic building near the Country Club Plaza, has 126 rooms and suites with decor inspired by the 1920s – think elegantly quilted bedheads, mahogany writing desks and sumptuous carpets. It’s perfectly suited for business and leisure travelers, with amenities such as meeting and conference rooms, catering, a fitness center and signature restaurant Chaz on the Plaza. Fittingly for a city known for its beef, Chaz offers an impressive selection of steaks, including a must-try, dry-aged prime KC strip.

This hotel in Kansas City’s vibrant Power & Light District dates back to 1930 – when it was the tallest building in the city – and the interior design takes inspiration from its historic roots, with elegant art deco styling. Step back in time and enjoy craft cocktails at the hidden speakeasy in the basement, and take note of the impressive Goddess of Dawn sculpture in the lobby. When it’s time to eat, head to Tavernonna Italian Kitchen for a farm-to-table menu, including dishes such as smoked wild boar ragu with pecorino romano and gremolata, and mushroom crusted pork chop with wild mushroom and farro verde.

Experience welcoming Midwestern hospitality at this award-winning hotel, set in a colonial revival mansion that dates back to 1913. Choose from 12 king and queen guest rooms, which are named after notable Kansas City residents and decorated to reflect the era in which they lived. Alternatively, indulge with one of the two Carriage House Suites, which are located just steps away from the Main House. The romantic George Kessler Suite features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and a hot tub, making it ideal for honeymooners and couples in search of a romantic weekend away.
