KANSAS CITY, KS-Ground will be broken in two weeks on the first hotel to open in this city’s Downtown after a six-year drought. Unified Government Mayor Carol Marinovich gave the annual State-of-the-Government address announced ground-breaking on the 150-room hotel would be Feb. 16 while speaking at the Jack Reardon Civic Center, adjacent to the site of the new hotel.

The hotel will be a Hilton and have an indoor pool, restaurant and 500-space parking garage. Construction costs are estimated to be about $17 million. It will be owned by a partnership that includes the Unified Government of Kansas City, KS and KCK Hotel Group. That group is comprised of Raphael Hotel Group, Landmark Hotel Company II, Broadway Square Partners and J.E. Dunn Construction Co. Both partners will have a 49.95% share with the remaining 0.10% going to Landmark, the hotel operator.

“Won’t it be great to have a restaurant and hotel in our downtown where we can proudly entertain guests and visitors,” Marinovich said. The last hotel to be located in Downtown Kansas City, KS was the Civic Centre Hotel, which closed in 1995.
