Luxury holidays in Kansas City

When to go

The city is a year-round destination; summer brings a full calendar of cultural events but can be steamy; you’ll find more comfortable climes in May and June, September and October.

Getting there

• Planes

  Kansas City Airport is your closest international hub; from there, it’s a 30-minute taxi ride downtown.

• Trains

  You can reach the city’s impressive Union Station with Amtrak services from Chicago, St Louis and LA, though journey times are lengthy and trains are infrequent.

• Automobiles

  With taxis and rideshares easy to find, you don’t need a set of wheels — if you prefer to drive, rentals are readily available.
