KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A hotel just north of the Country Club Plaza that's been open for over 45 years announced it will close next month.
The Embassy Suites by Hilton Kansas City Plaza plans to close effective September 15, according to a statement from a Hilton spokesperson.
The 12-story hotel, featuring an open courtyard atrium, was built in 1977.
Saint Luke's Health System owns the land where the hotel is located at 220 West 43rd St.
"Saint Luke’s Health System acquired the property at the northeast corner of 43rd Street and Broadway Boulevard in 1971, and subsequently entered into a ground lease for the hotel that would become the Embassy Suites by Hilton. The hotel operator elected to cease operations and vacate the property when the ground lease expires at the end of September. Saint Luke’s is in the process of exploring alternate options for the site."
