Kansas City is one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets. From it’s world-class museums to it’s ever-growing food scene, Kansas City has so much more to offer than just barbecue.
If you’re planning a trip to Kansas City, you’ll have several hotel options to choose from - but none as unique as a stay at The Truitt Kansas City. Having spent a weekend here, I can assure you that The Truitt Kansas City lives up to the hype and more.

ABOUT THE TRUITT KANSAS CITY
This modern boutique hotel is set within a historic 1916 red brick colonial mansion. The architecture is breathtaking and the interior design had me ready to move in the moment I stepped foot inside the door.
But don’t let the word historic fool you, The Truitt Kansas City is modern in all the right ways. You won’t, for example, find a front desk at this boutique hotel. Instead, you’ll be given an access code that makes checking into and out of this contact-less boutique hotel a breeze.
Owners David and Ryan have created something truly special at The Truitt Kansas City. From the top notch service to the beautiful self-service coffee bar, my visit to The Truitt Kansas City far exceeded my expectations.
