Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza Launches Renovations
KANSAS CITY, MO. April 20, 2016 - The Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza Hotel announced today that it has begun an extensive transformation of the guest rooms, public spaces, lobby and bar areas, that will also create additional meeting and event space through a cohesive design that will blend a modern aesthetic with locally inspired elements.
“The thoughtful renovations at the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza will invoke a contemporary feel that reflects the local community while retaining the Marriott brand appeal, traditions and values that travelers have come to rely on,” said General Manager, Brett Ellison. “The rooms will be strategically completed in phases so there will be very little impact on guests who visit during the renovation process.”
The design concept highlights fluidity, creating a sense of place through use of textures, movement and expression of lightness found in water. Artwork and furnishings will be inspired by locally relevant architecture, including the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain, local museums and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
An elevated sense of arrival will include new Marriott exterior signs and spectacular exterior illumination. Reinvented guest rooms and suites will include new furniture, carpet, flooring, drapery, paint, artwork, lighting and accessories. Many of the bathrooms will boast a uniquely modern glass walk in shower with rainfall shower head and separate wand. A new “Plaza Terrace” event space will feature a spectacular view of the Country Club Plaza. In Addition, a new private dining room named “Hyde Park” will be added onto the Main Street Grill; adjacent to the second floor conference and event spaces. Creative in approach and innovative in design, all meeting and catering areas will be revitalized to provide inspired functional space for memorable weddings, corporate events and signature celebrations.
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 sophisticated dining, entertainment and shopping scene. The hotel's functional seating, state-of-the-art technology and innovative food and beverage concepts create an elegant yet comfortable setting with new ways for guests to connect (or disconnect) after a busy day of business meetings, shopping, or city exploration.
