Residence Inn by Marriott Kansas City Downtown/Convention Center

Spacious Suites & Easy Venue Access in the Heart of KC

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Kansas City Downtown/Convention Center blends homey comfort with downtown convenience. Just a 6-minute walk from the Sprint Center and close to Union Station and the Kansas City Convention Center, this all-suite hotel is a smart pick for music lovers who want to stay near the action without sacrificing space or comfort. With free WiFi, a fitness center, indoor pool, and even a few bikes to borrow, it's a great base for exploring the city before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is a major win here—you're within walking distance of some of Kansas City's biggest music venues, so there's no need to worry about parking or rideshares after the encore. The hotel offers express check-in and check-out, helpful for those arriving just in time for the opening act or sleeping in the morning after. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it easy to wind down after a night of lights and loud amps.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to stay together in spacious suites with kitchenettes
• Solo travelers who appreciate safety, location, and reliable WiFi
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
• Fans needing a quiet recovery zone post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with included breakfast and in-room kitchens

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar make it easy to grab a bite or a drink without venturing far. There’s a buffet and American breakfast served daily—perfect for late risers. While there's no official 24/7 room service, the in-room kitchens and nearby eateries provide plenty of flexibility for post-concert cravings.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're steps away from KC’s nightlife scene, including bars and lounges near the Power & Light District. The hotel bar is a quiet spot to raise a glass with friends before heading out—or after coming back.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and unbeatable location near major venues and attractions. Many note the convenience of the kitchenettes and the quality of the free breakfast as standout perks.

Areas for Improvement

The on-site parking isn’t free, and some guests mention that downtown traffic can be a bit noisy during peak times. Also, while the indoor pool is a bonus, it’s more for relaxing than full-on laps.

The Bottom Line

If you want to be close to the show and have room to relax afterward, the Residence Inn Kansas City Downtown/Convention Center hits all the right notes.
