Creative cauldron, Crossroads Hotel, slots fittingly into its arts district locale. Wander this lively urban crashpad’s gallery spaces, showcasing KC creatives, or get inked at one of the hotel’s tattoo pop-ups. Bare brickwork, leather upholstery and statement checks imbue its interiors with a swagger that’s underpinned by a lively history, too: its past as a site for bootlegging in the Twenties makes sunset sips at its rooftop bar all the sweeter.

Food and Drink

Top Table

On a summer’s evening, secure a spot on Percheron’s terrace. In winter, cozy up by Lazia’s fireside with a warming glass of red, or settle into one of XR’s leather sofas, Old Fashioned in hand.

Dress Code

At Percheron and XR, anything goes; evenings-only Lazia warrants a little finery.

Hotel restaurant

At Lazia, Crossroads’ high-end but homey restaurant, homemade pasta stars in inventive dishes such as sweet pea-filled ravioli and creamy shrimp serpente. Milk-braised pork shoulder and decadently rich lasagne offer tastes of Tuscany, and yet the stylishly distressed walls and loved-by-locals buzz are distinctly Midwestern. The hotel’s bustling lounge, XR, is a community haunt patronised by laptop-wielding workers and convivial brunchers in search of casual dining and excellent coffee. Its wood-fired pizzas are topped, KC-style, with barbecue burnt ends and Arthur Bryant’s sauce. 

Hotel bar

Percheron rooftop bar, with its panoramic cityscapes, is something of a local legend. Here, the building’s history as a former brewery and rumored bootleggers’ hideout plays out with creative cocktails and a rotating selection of KC-brewed beers on tap. Nibble on surf bites (bay scallops or barbecued octopus, say) while the sun drops, soundtracked by live DJ sets.

Last orders

Lazia is open for dinner from 4pm to 10pm. Percheron pours from 4pm to midnight, and XR serves breakfast from 7am to 11am, then stays open all day until 1am.

Room service

A selection of dishes can be whisked to your door daily between 7am and 10pm.

Occupying an iconic Kansas City building, Crossroads stands proud between the galleries, craft breweries and gig spots of the Arts District, south of Downtown.

Planes

The hotel is around a 25-minute drive from Kansas City International Airport. You can pre-book airport transfers through the hotel for an extra charge; or Uber or Lyft rides are readily available.

Trains

Amtrak’s Union Station is a 15-minute walk away, and is on the main line between Chicago and LA. There are also daily departures to St Louis, the gateway to the West.

Automobiles

Valet parking’s available at the hotel for $40 a night, and there’s street parking nearby. But you’re more likely to want to hop on the free streetcars that run through Downtown.

Worth getting out of bed for

Some of Kansas City’s hot spots are steps from Crossroads Hotel’s imposing front doors. The Arts District is like one big open-air installation, with vintage boutiques, independent galleries and buzzing cafés framed by street art. On the first Friday of each month, the district hosts an art crawl that sees more than 70 shops and galleries stay open till late. 

For a cultural fix, catch a concert at the architecturally striking Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, or comedy improv at The Bird. Then stroll down Kansas City’s very own walk of fame, honoring the city’s history as a distribution hub for some of Hollywood’s major film studios.

Don’t be surprised to see the Kansas City Chiefs’ signature red soaking the city on game days as fans fill the Arrowhead Stadium. In 2026, it’s playing host to a different kind of football fever as one of the locations for the FIFA World Cup. When you’re all cheered out, take your foam finger and head back to Crossroads for some good ole Midwestern hospitality. 

Local restaurants

Top-notch bistro Fox & Pearl takes Midwestern cooking (there’s an incredible open fire and smoker) and elevates it for a mouthwatering menu, including roasted bone marrow and Wagyu short ribs. Flaunting a glamorous granite bar and equally alluring high-ceilinged dining room, Novel peddles a page-turner of polished plates such as Maine lobster, silky rock-shrimp ramen and succulent pork ribs. 

Local cafés

The Westside Local is a popular neighborhood spot for seasonal farm-to-table treats, from fresh chopped salad to an oozing grilled cheese.

Local bars

At King G in East Crossroads, you get a full flavor taste of Kansas City’s culinary credentials: deli sandwiches, a bourbon list as long as your arm, and a huge selection of craft beers sourced from the city’s many micro breweries. There’s a stars-and-stripes sparkle to the cocktail list at Green Lady Lounge, accompanied by an impressive line-up of jazz musicians peppering the calendar.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this industrial-meets-artsy hotel on the Missouri river and unpacked their jazz vinyls and Chiefs jerseys, a full account of their history-soaked break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Crossroads Hotel in Kansas City…

Crossroads Hotel embodies the spirit of Kansas City in all the right ways. Its sense of place is tangible as soon as you step into the buzzing lobby — a meeting place for the creatives and artists that call the district home. This luxury city stay is the most recent incarnation of an iconic building, formerly the Pabst Brewing Depot and then a rumoured bootleggers’ hideout during Prohibition. Inside, exposed brick walls, moody lighting, and made-for-lounging communal spaces deliver understated luxury that’s confidently lived-in. 

The huge atrium space showcases an ever-changing roster of works by local artists, and this creative thread runs through everything at the hotel — from the artisan-made light fittings to the pop-up events (a tattooist available for impromptu inking, say, or a DJ spinning records on the rooftop). Sipping locally roasted coffee in the lobby, or a craft cocktail overlooking the city’s skyline, you’ll feel firmly rooted in Kansas City’s past and present.
