The Spotlight on The Fontaine

Stylish Sophistication in the Heart of Kansas City

Modern and refined, The Fontaine blends boutique charm with upscale comfort right in the heart of the Country Club Plaza Shopping District. With sleek hardwood floors, walk-in rain showers, and a rooftop pool, this hotel is all about luxury with a laid-back vibe. Just under 6 miles from downtown Kansas City and close to top attractions like the Crown Center and Power and Light District, it’s a chic base for music lovers looking to explore the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and The Fontaine nails it. You’re within a short drive of major concert venues and downtown nightlife, but tucked just far enough away to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. Free shuttle service makes it easy to explore without worrying about parking, and the rooftop pool is a perfect spot to unwind the next day. With a 4:00 PM check-in and an 11:00 AM check-out, there’s solid flexibility for late-night arrivals or slow mornings.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the action
  • Solo travelers catching their favorite artist
  • Couples making a weekend escape around a show
  • Fans seeking a peaceful recovery spot after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious fans who still want a taste of luxury

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant serves up Mediterranean flavors with stunning skyline views, perfect for a pre-show dinner or a leisurely brunch after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find coffee and tea-making facilities in every room and plenty of walkable dining options around the Plaza. Breakfast is available, and the solarium lounge is a cozy spot to recharge.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, you’re just minutes from the Power and Light District’s bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer to stay in? The rooftop bar offers a more laid-back experience with craft cocktails and skyline views—ideal for a nightcap with friends.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s modern design, friendly staff, and clean, spacious rooms. The rooftop pool and bar get consistent praise, and many appreciate the hotel’s quiet, upscale atmosphere that still keeps them close to the city’s main entertainment hubs.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that parking can be pricey, and the shuttle service, while free, doesn’t run very late. Also, while the hotel is near downtown, you’ll likely need a ride to get to most venues—though that’s easy to arrange.

The Bottom Line

With boutique charm, rooftop views, and easy access to Kansas City’s concert scene, The Fontaine is a smart pick for music fans who want comfort and style without sacrificing convenience.

This was a welcome and...

Liked: The room was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The walking shower had temperature controls. There was a complimentary car service that drove us to and from our restaurant. The rooftop bar was our favorite part. Our family enjoyed watching the sunset and the ambience of the fire features. The following morning, we ate breakfast at the restaurant, which was very delicious.
Disliked: One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was for the rooftop pool, which unfortunately was closed due to a mechanical issue. But the hotel comped us with free drinks and food at the bar.
