This was my 2nd time staying at the Intercontinental in KC on business. The hotel is conveniently located by the major shopping area and restaurants. I found the rooms to be a good size, had up-to-date amenities and overall what I expected from an Intercontinental brand hotel.There was a little noise in the room from the room upstairs. I would...

We've stayed here several times and prefer it to other area hotels. Our recent stay was on January 28th. The property is nice and the rooms are spacious. We had a small balcony with a nice view of the Plaza. We enjoyed listening to the band and having some drinks at the hotel bar. I read previous reviews regarding people... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. We booked directly through the hotel website as to guarantee a room with a view of the Plaza lights. We were offered a gorgeous room and we were delighted by the view!

Stayed here for a few days right after Christmas (when it was actually quite warm in KC). In terms of location, in KC this hotel is hard to beat. Right on the hill overlooking Country Club Plaza, in walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. I enjoyed just going down the hill and shopping or going to the bookstore... More

Staying here transports you back to the time of masquerade balls and grand receptions, like you would see from the 1920's (oak paneled walls were a nice touch) . I loved it. The staff, everyone of them, went out of their way to assist in any way. The rooms were great, especially the magnificent overview of the Plaza from our... More

Larry at the front desk was the best. The executive level and room overlooking The Plaza was great. My biggest angst comes from the fact that the past two times I have been on the Plaza I've been accosted by aggressive homeless people. It is also well known (google Kansas City Plaza Gangs) that gang activity and shootings have taken... More
