It is not very often when I don't think twice before giving hotel 5 star review. 21C in KC is one of those rare occasions. Well located, in downtown, but just few blocks away from craziness of Power&Light district. Easy to walk to and easy to drive to.... Front desk staff is simply wonderful! They went extra mile to make sure that our family is well taken care of, and provided platinum upgrade to tasteful and spacious suite. They even set up sofa for my daughter with linens and everything else needed. Every single person I dealt with during our 4 night stay was cheerful, pleasant, and helpful, no exceptions! Museum galleries were pretty interesting, as in other 21c hotels I visited (Nashville, Chicago). We haven't eaten breakfast in the restaurant, but stopped by for happy hour few times, and had light meal in their famed Savoy Restaurant. It was quite nice food and atmosphere, they also have good selection of drinks and wines. All in all, it was definitely the right hotel for us. Due to extreme heat we stayed inside the hotel more than we planned, but we were not bored. Can recommend this property without any second thoughts!

We arrived at 21c not knowing what to expect, never having stayed here before. We had a very welcoming experience with Randi at the front desk. We had a corner king room on the top floor (6) with great views of both downtown and northern Kansas City. The room was large and modern with vintage touches like 6 opening windows and the vintage bathroom sink. Our mini bar was not in service but with covid precautions I could live with that. Hallways were nice and quiet. Location was great with nightlife and restaurants within walking distance. Parking was easy; a well lit ramp across the street that maxed out at $10 a day made up for the temporary lack of valet service. I also felt safe parking on the surrounding streets at no charge. Decor consisted of the multiple art installations throughout the hotel. We stopped for cocktails at the Savoy and Luke was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Very impressive cocktail menu as well. All in all we chose a great hotel for a special weekend and would not hesitate to stay at the 21c in the future.

Room was well appointed and quiet, very clean although the bathroom sink had a wide yellowish stain around its drain end. Our beef is with the restaurant, which is expensive and underwhelming, For one of our party we ordered sparkling water and a wedge of lime. We got a huge bottle of Pellegrino ($6.00) and six wedges of lime on a small plate (another $6.00). Seriously?? It wasn't our first time here, and we do like the accommodations, but the restaurant/bar remain works in progress. Also, since this was our third time here in the last twelve months, the art exhibition was déjà vue, and you might think about rotating every 6 months rather than 10.
