3 Best Hotels in Wichita, Kansas

In the center of Wichita's historic district, this all-suites hotel building is a fine example of Victorian-era architecture with an iconic cupola. It was built in 1906 and renovated in 1999, and is furnished with 19th-century antiques alongside its modern amenities. Each suite has a full kitchen, including a refrigerator and dishwasher, a two-poster bed with Egyptian-cotton linens and down comforters (duvets), and free Wi-Fi. Each morning a hot breakfast buffet is served. The Keen Kutter Piano Bar on the hotel's ground level is named for the company that once used the building as a warehouse.

A boutique, all-suites hotel with art-deco flair, this lodging option is just a few blocks from Old Town Entertainment District. It is designed for extended-stay guests looking for a home away from home, and its contemporary, apartment-style interiors are accented with patterned tapestries and paintings from a local artist. Most have a fireplace and a Keurig coffeemaker, stovetop, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator. All have a television and DVD player.

Fresh off a major renovation of its guest rooms—each one framed by a view of the Arkansas River or downtown skyline—this hotel is in the heart of downtown and not far from the Historic Old Town and Exploration Place. It's also connected to the Century II Convention Center and adjacent to the lovely River Walk Park. The Harvest Kitchen and Bar serves farm-to-table meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including build-your-own farmers' market salad and a Kansas omelet stuffed with locally grown ingredients. Also in the hotel is a heated indoor lap pool and a 24-hour fitness center.
