InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza by IHG

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.
