Hilton President Kansas City - Kansas City MO Hilton Hotel Downtown H&R Block Center

Located just across from the new H&R Block World Headquarters, the Hilton President Kansas City is one of the top rated hotels not just in the area but all over the city. Newly renovated, the historic building has completely updated the rooms and suites to be spacious and welcoming for guests. Public areas leverage the mid-century background of the building, but the rooms themselves are firmly in the 21st century.

Bathrooms received high marks for openness and design features. Doubles, Kings, and Queens were all available. Rooms are non-smoking, with pets allowed depending on size and weight. Wired and wireless internet options are available throughout the hotel.

Given its location near the H&R Block building, the Convention Center, and the Sprint Center, the hotel caters primarily to business and professional travelers. Couples are also welcome, while there are limited amenities for children on site. Families may like the location and rates (mid-market) but they will need to be sure to plan outings for the children. There is no pool, but workout space is available 24 hours a day.

The Hilton President Kansas City has more than 12,000 square feet of conference space available, and seems eager to attract group meetings and retreats. The business center is open 24 hours a day and most services are free. Conference arrangements can be made by calling the front desk and speaking with the conference planner. Special rates for conference groups can also be arranged by speaking with the front desk.

With all of the Power & Light district nearby, there is no shortage of entertainment for adults. Shuttle and taxi services are available to take travelers around the city, although many downtown attractions are within walking distance. Dining in the hotel is an option, but most travelers reported going out to eat. The hotel is located at 1329 Baltimore Street.
