Rieger Hotel, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Rieger Hotel is a 1915 building in Kansas City designed for travelers and business guests in early commercial style. The three-story brick structure features terracotta details, marble floors, and original ironwork throughout its interior spaces.
Built in 1915 by the Rieger family during Kansas City's industrial expansion, the hotel served the growing stream of travelers. When alcohol prohibition began in 1919, the family closed the hotel and shifted to banking while the building passed through various owners and uses over the decades.
The building carries the name of the Rieger family, whose legacy continues through modern craft spirits made in the area. The speakeasy-style bar in the basement connects visitors to the era when alcohol production defined the family's influence in Kansas City.
The building sits near Union Station, making it accessible for visitors arriving by train or car. The ground level features a restaurant and basement bar, both of which welcome guests to explore the historic space.
The building served as a stopping point for notable figures during the Prohibition era, with its proximity to Union Station making it ideal for quick arrivals and departures. This strategic location enhanced its role as a discreet meeting place during a turbulent period in American history.
