New hotels continue to dot the landscape in Kansas City, offering upscale accommodations, dining, amenities and more.
Since 2020, two new hotels have opened, with three more set to open this fall. From historic renovations to brand-new properties, here’s the latest buzz on Kansas City’s hotel scene.
The new 238-room AC Hotel Kansas City Downtown is slated to hold its grand opening this September after taking over the historic Rialto Building.
Just steps from premier attractions like T-Mobile Center, the Power & Light District and the Kansas City Convention Center, guests will be able to dine at AC Kitchen + Café and then enjoy drinks and Spanish tapas at AC Lounge.
Opening in September, the 118-room Origin Hotel Kansas City will be the first hotel to take up residence in the city’s thriving Berkley Riverfront.
This new boutique hotel is within walking distance of the history-making CPKC Stadium, home of the KC Current, and the upcoming Kansas City Streetcar extension. Origin Hotel will also feature over 4,800 square feet of meeting space, farm-to-table dining at its onsite restaurant, Show Pony, and locally inspired art throughout.
Less than three miles from Kansas City International Airport’s new, nationally recognized terminal, the upcoming Atwell Suites Kansas City Airport is set to open in November.
This 104-suite property is designed to help travelers seamlessly switch between work and rest with coworking spaces, a private meeting room and a 24-hour fitness studio.

Kansas City is also still celebrating the October 2023 opening of the Cascade Hotel Kansas City, in the luxurious Country Club Plaza neighborhood.
With 175 rooms, this modern hotel offers a food hall with four unique restaurant concepts, a rooftop bar, full-service spa, and stunning views of the Plaza’s Spanish architecture.
