Hilton President Kansas City - A 1926 historic hotel with grand ballrooms and signature dining in Power & Light District
Located in the heart of the Power & Light Entertainment District, this 4-star Kansas City hotel has stood since 1926. The historic Hilton President features 213 rooms equipped with premium bedding, pillow menus, laptop-compatible safes, and air conditioning. Two restaurants, including Providence New American Kitchen with its 2000-square-foot intimate dining space, serve locally-sourced American cuisine. The legendary Drum Room Lounge, which once hosted Frank Sinatra and Patsy Cline, offers cocktails in a historic setting. The property encompasses over 12000 square feet of meeting space, including the Congress Ballroom with panoramic city views, terrazzo flooring, and chandeliers. Additional amenities include a health club, Starbucks coffee shop, covered parking, and complimentary basic WiFi. The hotel stands across from H&R Block World Headquarters, 8 minutes by foot from both the T-Mobile Center and Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland. Notable landmarks within 0.5 miles include the Kansas City Public Library and Sprint Center.
Pros
Historic 1926 architecture with preserved grand style details
Legendary Drum Room Lounge with rich entertainment history
Providence New American Kitchen features reclaimed wood decor and historical art prints
Congress Ballroom offers panoramic city views and original terrazzo flooring
Cons
3 miles distance from Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport
Limited recreational facilities compared to modern hotels
“This restored historic hotel places you squarely in Kansas City's Power & Light District, steps from theaters and downtown attractions. I especially appreciate the full-service experience, with a restaurant emphasizing Midwestern cuisine and a notable cocktail lounge, though some may find the need for a refresh evident. If you're drawn to grand style and historical significance, this could be a good fit.”
