KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza Hotel has unveiled its transformed guest experience that included new guestrooms, recently redesigned as a part of the ongoing reinvention of Marriott Hotels, the signature brand of Marriott International. The hotel is one of numerous hotels within the brand’s portfolio across North America that is introducing this modern and sleek design. The unexpected look for the Marriott provides an elevated experience that today’s travelers’ want and need.
“We want our guests to experience forward-thinking, aesthetically pleasing spaces that help foster their inventive nature,” said Matthew Carroll, vice president, Marriott Hotels. “Marriott Hotels has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in travel to create experiences that inspire and push our guests’ creativity. The Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza is a unique destination hotel and has accomplished this and more.”
The elevated sense of arrival begins with exterior illumination that puts a spotlight on the first impression and welcome experience. The check-in/check-out process has also been changed to allow guests the flexibility to check-in/check-out from their mobile devices.
The reimagined rooms offer a spacious and upgraded look complete with tailored solutions. Based on consumer insights, locally-inspired accents are reflective of Kansas City architecture and museums. The work surface provides flexibility to freely move and use technology wherever the guest desires. Bathtubs have been replaced with deluxe walk-in showers and spa-like lighting to provide a relaxed and upgraded bath experience.
“Inspired by a new generation of travelers, our transformed hotel blends style and function that provides guests with the space to explore and expand their creativity,” said General Manager Brett Ellison. “Creative in approach and innovative in design, we are excited to welcome guests to the elevated experience at the new Country Club Plaza.”
Meeting and catering areas have also been reimagined and expanded to over 18,000 square feet providing a functional space for weddings, corporate events, and signature celebrations. An additional 2,300 square feet of meeting space was incorporated, which includes a new “Plaza Terrace” event space featuring a view of the Country Club Plaza and an event room adjacent to the second floor conference and event spaces named “Hyde Park.”
Other enhancements to the hotel include the Marriott Hotels Greatroom lobby—a stylish hub of the hotel that serves as a social gathering place for guests to connect (or disconnect) after a busy day of business meetings, shopping, or city exploration. Along with the Greatroom, the hotel transformed the Concierge Lounge, an exclusive area reserved for Elite and Club paying members with perks, including a range of complimentary food and premium beverage options, including breakfast and refreshments, as well as free Wi-Fi, printing and power supplies to ensure uninterrupted productivity for business travelers.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Kansas City, in the Country Club Plaza area and adjacent to the trendy Westport historic neighborhood. Just four miles south of Downtown, the Power & Light District, Sprint Center and Kansas City Convention Center, the hotel puts guests in the middle of the city’s dining, entertainment, and shopping scene. The award-winning Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza is owned by Carey Watermark Investors and operated by a subsidiary of Interstate Hotels & Resorts under license from Marriott International, Inc. or one of its affiliates.
