Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center

The Sheraton Kansas City Hotel is a 45-story tower within the Crown Center complex, housing 733 rooms and suites across various floor levels. The building features extensive meeting facilities, including a large ballroom and exhibition spaces designed for conferences and events.

Originally opened as Hyatt Regency in 1980, the building later became known under the Sheraton brand. A tragic structural incident in 1981 prompted major safety improvements and transformed industry standards for high-rise design.

The hotel forms part of Crown Center, a mixed-use development that shaped downtown Kansas City's character. The complex brings together business, shopping, and dining in a way that draws both travelers and local visitors.

The hotel sits directly within Crown Center and is accessible by various transit options connecting to downtown Kansas City. Visitors will find shops, restaurants, and other facilities nearby, making it convenient for both business and leisure stays.

The top floor once housed the rotating Skies restaurant, which offered guests 360-degree views of the city before closing in 2011. Today the space functions as an exclusive lounge for hotel guests while maintaining its position at the tower's peak.
