The Spotlight on Intercontinental Kansas City At The Plaza

Classic Comfort Steps from Kansas City’s Live Music Scene


Elegant and refined, Intercontinental Kansas City At The Plaza blends upscale charm with unbeatable location. Set right beside the iconic Country Club Plaza, this hotel offers a sophisticated retreat with easy access to Kansas City’s top concert venues and art attractions. Warm, spacious rooms—some with scenic views—and a full suite of amenities (think 24-hour gym and outdoor pool) provide a solid home base whether you're here for a headliner or a weekend of shows.

Why Concert-goers love it


If you're in town for a show, you’ll love how close the hotel is to major venues like the Uptown Theater and Kauffman Center. Getting there is easy, and the area stays active late, with rideshares and public transit options nearby. After a loud night, the hotel’s quieter setting near the Plaza is perfect for decompressing. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout give you time to settle in or sleep off that encore.

Who this Hotel is great for


- Groups of friends looking to stay near the action without sacrificing comfort
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour date
- Couples making a romantic concert weekend
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music fans seeking value without going bare bones

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant, American Slang, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for a pre-show bite or a late brunch after a late night. While room service isn’t 24/7, the hotel’s central location means quick access to walkable eateries and late-night bites in the Plaza District.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself leans more classic than clubby, you’re within walking distance of the Plaza’s upscale lounges and local pubs—ideal for post-concert drinks. For a more laid-back vibe, enjoy a cocktail at the hotel bar and reflect on the night’s setlist.

What People Say


Guests rave about the location, especially its walkability to shopping, dining, and cultural sites. The staff earns high marks for friendliness, and many reviewers appreciate the spacious rooms and views of the Plaza. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between luxury and comfort.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the hotel is a bit dated in areas, with rooms that could use a refresh. Parking can be a bit pricey, so factor that into your budget. Still, most agree it’s worth it for the location and service.

The Bottom Line


For concert-goers who want a stylish, centrally located stay with easy access to Kansas City’s music and nightlife scene, Intercontinental Kansas City At The Plaza hits the right note.
