Kansas City offers a score of major hotels within walking distance of the Country Club Plaza and Westport or in the Crown Center complex.
Founded in the 1880s as a retreat for those seeking the healing mineral waters of Excelsior Springs valley, this historic building hosted Al Capone and Bugsy Moran during the Prohibition, and President Harry S Truman the night he bested Thomas Dewey in the 1948 election.
