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.
