There are a number of pet-friendly hotels in the area to explore, especially if you are looking for a mini getaway and want to take in the sights of Kansas City. Although it can be great to explore new locations with just human companions, sometimes it’s hard to leave your pup at home. Fortunately, Kansas City in general is VERY accommodating for dogs, and having pet-friendly hotels in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the city is no exception.
21c Museum Hotel Kansas City
The 21c Museum Hotel offers pet-friendly accommodations while also providing numerous galleries to explore inside the hotel! The museum itself is open to the public and the rooms for guests include original artwork as well as high ceilings and contemporary furnishings. The 21c Museum was also named one of the Top 20 Hotels in the USA/Midwest by the 2020 Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Granted, dogs are not allowed in the galleries themselves, but this hotel is within walking distance from other areas in Kansas City that are appropriate for pets.
Crossroads Hotel
The Crossroads Hotel also allows pets and is near a number of bars and restaurants in the area. It is less than a mile from the T-Mobile Center and is a 5-minute drive to Crown Center. There are also several bars and restaurants in the hotel, providing you with plenty of options with and without your four-legged family member.
Hotel Indigo – Crossroads
The Hotel Indigo – Crossroads is a historically certified hotel featuring specially commissioned art due to its history of being the former home of the Kansas City Costume Company. The 81 guest rooms of this historically certified, former home of the KC Costume Company, are embellished by custom fabric headboards and specially commissioned art — including a framed paintbrush! The paintbrush is a nod to Jim Leedy who in 1985 opened the first gallery in the Crossroads in what was once a paintbrush factory.
