Hotel Savoy is the downtown choice for guests who prefer individual character to a large chain tower. It stands at 219 West 9th Street with 120 individually furnished rooms, a fine-dining restaurant called The Savoy and a bar, so dinner and a nightcap need no taxi. A 24-hour gym, concierge, luggage storage and free Wi-Fi in public areas cover the basics, and cooked-to-order breakfast is available for a surcharge. Guests rate it highly, with an 8.8 out of 10 average from more than a thousand guest reviews. The location is walkable for a Kansas City hotel. The convention center is about five minutes away on foot, The Midland theatre is about eight, City Market is about nine, the T-Mobile Center is about eleven, and a streetcar stop at the library is about four minutes from the door. Crown Center is a short drive, and Union Station is about eleven minutes by car. It suits couples, theatre-goers, conference visitors and travellers who like their hotel to feel like part of the city.
Location and getting around
From the hotel you can walk to the Kansas City Convention Center in about five minutes and to The Midland in about eight. City Market in the River Market is roughly nine minutes on foot, and the T-Mobile Center for concerts is about eleven minutes. The Library tram stop is about four minutes away, so the free KC Streetcar links you to Union Station, Crown Center and the rest of the central city. Kansas City International Airport is about twenty-three minutes by car.
Rooms and facilities
The 120 rooms are individually furnished, and the hotel has a restaurant, bar, 24-hour gym, concierge, front-desk safe and luggage storage, plus conference space and a banquet hall for events. Valet parking is charged at about thirty-nine dollars a night. Pets up to fifty pounds are welcome for a fee of seventy-five dollars per stay, and service animals are exempt. There is no pool, so families who need one should look at the Loews or the Crown Center hotels.
Who it suits
Couples who value a boutique feel, business travellers, theatre fans and anyone who wants to walk to City Market and the downtown venues. Good to know: it is a smaller hotel than the big convention properties, so rooms can sell out when a major event is on. Compare rates for your dates and book early for conventions, concerts and big sports weekends. Light sleepers should ask for a quieter floor, as with any downtown address.
