Local Information

An energetic city forged by a rich history, Kansas City offers unexpected discoveries every day. Part of the city’s charm lies in its beauty, with impressive boulevards, spacious parks, and exquisite fountains.

The InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza is located within the 14-square-block outdoor shopping and entertainment district known as the Country Club Plaza. This area is filled with romantic Spanish architecture, European art, and dazzling fountains. Designed in 1922, the Plaza features boutiques and fashionable national stores, as well as distinctive restaurants, outdoor cafés, and nightlife hot spots. The beautiful Spanish-influenced architecture and decoration creates an ambience reminiscent of Seville, Spain. Within approximately 1 mile of the Plaza is the campus of the University of Missouri at Kansas City as well as the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and Technology, which is located on a 14-acre urban arboretum. Two nationally renowned art museums are located within 0.5 miles of the Plaza: the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Also located nearby is the area known as Westport. Once an outfitting point for pioneers heading West, Westport’s nineteenth-century charm has been kept intact with historic buildings, old-style lampposts, and tree-lined boulevards. The area features fun and funky shops, diverse restaurants, and a variety of bars and clubs.   

The InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza is located 26 miles south of Kansas City International Airport (MCI).
