The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, hotel in Kansas City, United States
The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center is a high-rise hotel inside the Crown Center complex in Kansas City, Missouri, with rooms spread across multiple floors and views over the city. The property includes an on-site restaurant, a fitness center, a year-round outdoor pool, and a tall limestone waterfall in the main lobby.
The hotel was built as part of the Crown Center development, a large urban project initiated by Hallmark Cards in the 1960s and 1970s. The project turned a formerly industrial area into a mixed neighborhood of housing, retail, and entertainment.
The hotel sits inside Crown Center, a complex where locals come to shop, eat, and skate on the seasonal ice rink. The area draws families and Kansas City residents year-round, giving the hotel a lively neighborhood feel rather than an isolated lodging experience.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Crown Center shops and attractions, so guests can explore the immediate area on foot. For trips to downtown Kansas City or the convention center, a car or rideshare is a practical option since the distance is a bit too far to walk comfortably.
The Hallmark Visitors Center, which tells the story of the world's best-known greeting card company, is directly inside the Crown Center complex and reachable on foot from the hotel lobby. The lobby waterfall was originally designed as an architectural feature to soften acoustics in the large atrium, but it has since become one of the most photographed spots in the building.
