Loews Kansas City Hotel

Crossroads Arts District

10/10 Excellent

This was one of the best hotel stays that we have ever had. Every single employee we encountered was great. The hotel grounds were beautiful. The gym and indoor pool/ hot tub were probably the nicest we've ever seen at a hotel. All of the food we ate there was great. The linens on the bed were amazing. The only downside to staying there is that everything is very expensive. However, you get what you pay for!

We stayed over the weekend as a little getaway and it was the most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. This is my first time ever leaving a review but our experience here was absolutely fantastic I had to write one. This was my first experience with contactless check in and I loved it, so much easier and doesn’t take away from the boutique hotel aesthetic. The only thing I will say if you’re booking through Expedia, you may not get the checkin email with instructions on how to get in before your...

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay at Cherry Warehouse and would return. Received detailed instructions for parking and entry. Lovely room that felt like we were in a studio apartment, not a hotel room, with very comfortable bed and bedding. Enjoyed the rooftop patio, appreciated the Nespresso in the common area, the decor and art books all made it a special place to stay. Good location, walking distance to National WWI Museum and the free Kansas City Streetcar. Great breakfast at The Garage across the street.

Absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I have stayed at this location before, which is why we chose it again. Although we live in Lawrence, KS, we were volunteering for early morning shifts at PCKC 2025 and wanted to stay close by, but in a little less crowded area. This hotel is only a mile away from the KC Convention Center and Bartle Hall and a block or two away from the street car that will drop you off a block away from the convention center. We did end up walking to the convention center...
