Winter Staycation at Loews Kansas City (+ a Cozy Little Bonus)
Whether you're visiting Kansas City during the holidays or just looking for a luxury staycation, Loews Kansas City Hotel is the move. The rooms are spacious and peaceful, and the floor-to-ceiling windows show off the Kansas City skyline - no matter which direction your room faces.
One of the best parts of staying at Loews is the location. You can hop on the streetcar, wander through the Crossroads, grab dinner downtown, go to a show, shop, explore - all without constantly getting back in the car or fighting for parking. Everything is just there, ready when you are. And when you’re done being social, you get to come back to a space that actually feels restful.
And if you truly don’t want to leave the hotel? You absolutely don’t have to.
The Stilwell, Loews’ in-house restaurant, is in the lobby and makes staying in feel like its own event. It’s warm, modern, and the food is consistently great. Then there’s the lobby bar, Bar Stilwell, which quietly serves some of the best espresso martinis in Kansas City. It’s the perfect spot to start the night or wind down after a day of holiday exploring. Not to mention, this bar has some of the best views in the city.
And this year, there’s a fun extra: Loews partnered with Cozy Earth to launch an exclusive lounge set in a custom Loews gray. If you’re staying at the hotel, you get a special discount, and there’ll be a Cozy Earth pop-up onsite in December so you can see it before you buy. It would make for the perfect gift - a Cozy Earth set + stay at the Loews would impress anyone on your list. It's like bringing part of the experience home with you!
