Hotel Phillips - Kansas City MO Hotel Phillips Business Getaway Downtown

The Hotel Phillips is located near the historic Power & Light district of downtown Kansas City. Close to the Convention Center, Sprint Center, and all of the offices of the financial and government district, the location is suitable for business travelers or couples who want to have a weekend out in the city at a nice hotel. Reviews gave the hotel high marks, placing it in the top 10% of all hotels in Kansas City.

Most visitors remarked on the high quality of the service experience. Although the Hotel Phillips is only classified as a three star hotel, a recent renovation has brought the amenities to a higher level. One couple rated the service as "cruise-style pampering'' and vowed to be back again. Loyal returning customers make up a fair portion of the clientele, making the hotel hard to book in peak season and near big conference dates.

The building is done in an Art Deco style, and the public spaces mix old and new to create a comfortable vibe. The 11 foot statue of Dawn in the hotel lobby and the original crown molding pull all the pieces together to create a very cohesive look, and meeting at "Dawn'' is a popular hotel insider joke.

The hotel has been operating since the 1930's, which has given it plenty of time to get things right. The Chophouse restaurant in the basement of the hotel is well known for its Kansas City Strip steaks, and the extensive wine and drink menu make it popular for business happy hours and post-deal dinners. The 12 Baltimore serves more casual fare and lunches, while allowing guests to watch the traffic and passer-by at street level.

Valet parking is available for $15 per day, the same as the self park garages in the area. Fitness rooms and a business center are also on site for guests, along with a very extended list of maid and dry cleaning services to ensure professionals look fresh. The high-touch service also makes June busy - the historic hotel is a very popular wedding reception location.
