You can start the day with a cup of locally-brewed Parisi coffee before heading out to must-see spots like Union Station, the Arvest Bank Theater, legendary jazz clubs and world-class restaurants just steps from the hotel.

Built on the railroad boom, Kansas City has long been a crossroads for adventure-seekers with downtown the center of it all. The story of this evolving area can be told through the architecture, where a historic Art Deco theater is the centerpiece of one block or a futuristic arena anchors another. Or in the history of speakeasies that once attracted the likes of Al Capone — the craft cocktail scene is currently having a revival of Prohibition-era proportions. Count Basie and Charlie Parker may have put jazz scene on the map, but emerging artists continue to develop the city's signature sound. Of course, no trip to Kansas City would be complete without a heaping plate of barbecue and, like the city itself, you'll find there is a style for all tastes.
The century-old station is not just an Amtrak hub, but a cultural center as well — and the neighborhood's most iconic building. As train travel traffic slowed, the grand marble-lined halls found new purpose and now houses a planetarium, a world-class science center, rail exhibit and upscale restaurants worth a cross-country rail trip alone.

With its red-velvet clad walls hung with gilded-framed paintings, this atmospheric jazz club offers live, no-cover performances on every night of the week, on two stages, on weekends. The Green Lady stays open until 3 a.m. every night, making it the perfect spot for a night cap.
In the spirit of the speakeasy-style saloon that thrived on this downtown corner in the late 1800s, the Phoenix is a local favorite for live music and bar food. Live bands take the stage nearly every night, and there's a jazz brunch every weekend.

Craft brewing is an elevated art form at this brewery, beer garden and restaurant with a name that's a nod to the long-shuttered Imperial Brewery. Pair a silky Milk Stout or citrusy Wheat Ale with gastro pub fare like the rabbit molé and a tri-tip steak sandwich.
