Family-friendly hotel in a prime location for dining and entertainment

Guests of Holiday Inn at The Plaza enjoy close access -- a short walk or complimentary shuttle ride -- to the city's premier 15-block dining, shopping, and entertainment district, Country Club Plaza. Culture beckons from around the corner at two outstanding art museums, and the hotel is convenient to myriad attractions and downtown nightlife. Families appreciate the connecting rooms, free dining for children, and extra large pool with a shallow end. Pets are also welcome (fees apply).

Highlights
  • Located near Country Club Plaza, with more than 150 shops and restaurants
  • Kansas City's largest heated outdoor hotel pool
  • Free shuttle to Country Club Plaza and other nearby attractions
  • Free wireless high-speed Internet access throughout
  • Free garage parking
Rooms

Choose from king rooms, suites, or the Executive Club Level. All rooms include a desk with ample workspace, lamp, desk-level electrical outlets, and complimentary Wi-Fi and local telephone calls. For in-room entertainment, enjoy pay-per-view and premium cable movies or the DVD player. Executive Club Level guest quarters are larger, and free morning newspapers are delivered to rooms. Seven of the hotel's 241 rooms accommodate handicapped or physically challenged guests.

Features

The lively Country Club Plaza, with its busy calendar of music and special events and dozens of dining and leisure options, is a major attraction for guests, but the hotel offers distractions of its own, beginning with a super-large heated outdoor pool. Exercise enthusiasts work out on universal, treadmill, stair stepper, and elliptical equipment in the small on-site Health and Fitness Center. For guests with small children or on a longer stay, the Guest Self-Laundry includes a washer and dryer. Internet access is free in public areas.

Dining

Kids eat for free at the Main Street Grill restaurant, located off the lobby and serving breakfast and dinner daily and lunch on Saturdays only.

See The Lights, Visit Union Station, and Crown Center

It was a good stay. The shuttle driver was very helpful. I believe his name was Justin. We would do it again in a minute.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

The shuttle is available but if you take a 10-15 minute walk you get to see the Plaza lights, Jack Stacks, or many shopping opportunities. Seems very safe.

Not in the heart and bustle of the plaza but close enough to all the shopping and nightlife has to offer.

A short walk to the Plaza

The room was very comfortable and the bed was quite good. The bathroom, on the other hand, was rather small. The staff was generally very pleasant. Although a full breakfast was included, when I asked the hostess for just two bananas and two donuts to take back to the room it took forever for her to provide them, and then, forgetting the donuts!

The atmosphere here was welcoming and warm including the rooms which did not get below 74 degrees.This hotel was older but seemed to be well maintained. Nothing out of ordinary but would be a good stay again.
