Courtyard by Marriott Kansas City At Briarcliff

Modern Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and welcoming, the Courtyard by Marriott Kansas City At Briarcliff blends relaxed style with a convenient location just under 6 miles from downtown Kansas City. Tucked in the scenic Briarcliff area, this 3-star hotel is a solid pick for travelers looking to enjoy live music and return to a calm, comfortable space after the show. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, and an on-site restaurant, it’s got the essentials covered—and then some.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great home base for your concert night. Just about 5.5 miles from the Kansas City Convention Center and 5.7 miles to the Sprint Center, it’s close enough for a quick ride but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals easy, and the easy access to rideshare services or free bike rentals means you’ll have no trouble getting to and from your show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a live show and wanting a laid-back spot to crash
• Solo concert-goers who want peace and quiet post-show
• Couples making a weekend out of a great performance
• Fans looking to recover somewhere quiet but not too far out
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want Marriott-level comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up meals with a view from the terrace, and while there’s no 24/7 room service, the property’s dining hours are ideal for a pre-show bite or a post-show unwind. There are also several casual dining spots nearby in the Briarcliff area, perfect for grabbing something late. Breakfast is available—great if you’re sleeping in after a long night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself focuses more on relaxation than revelry, you’re only a short drive from downtown nightlife, including bars, lounges, and of course, the city’s top music venues. Prefer to keep it chill? The hotel’s lobby lounge is a cozy spot to sip something local and reflect on the night.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the peaceful setting away from city noise. Travelers often mention the friendly staff and appreciate the quick drive into downtown. The indoor pool and fitness center are nice bonuses for those staying more than one night.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not in the heart of the action—so expect a short drive or rideshare to get to most venues. Also, while the hotel has an on-site restaurant, some guests noted limited food options late at night.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, well-equipped hotel near Kansas City's top venues, Courtyard by Marriott Kansas City At Briarcliff hits the right notes.
