An Art Deco masterpiece in the heart of downtown, the Hotel Phillips is a popular choice with guests who appreciate the charm and character of a grand and historic hotel. The hotel's address was once occupied by a haberdashery operated by President Harry S. Truman and his brother. Today, the hotel's top floor suite is named in his honor. Built in the 1930's, this 20-story luxury hotel, a national landmark, continues to exude all the elegance of the period with modern amenities. Many of the original details remain, including the walnut paneling, intricate metalwork, 20-story mail chute, Art Deco light fixtures and a gilded winged statue of the goddess Dawn. The 216 rooms are cozy, characteristic of a historic hotel, and comfortable, with modern amenities such as complimentary WiFi, multiple charging outlets, flat screen TVs, plump duvets, high-end linens, C.O Bigelow bath products and Keurig coffee.

We spent two nights here in a double queen room with my husband and daughter. The room and bathroom were roomy and the beds were comfortable. The hallways are dark but not in a claustrophobic way. The hotel has been well restored. The lobby has lots of seating and a shuffle board game. There was also always flavored water and coffee out. There were only two elevators working so at peak times there may be a wait but not long. We used valet parking and never had an issue. We ordered takeout from the restaurant and it was good. The diamond member lounge was being redone after a pipe broke but they used an alternate location and had drinks and snacks from 4-7. We were a few blocks from the T Mobile Center and felt very safe walking around the area.

Hotel's Favorite
It was a Fabolous stay from the moment we pulled up to the hotel. The valet team was extremally friendly with smiles on their faces while providing excellent customer service. Thank you for opening the door for my wife! I had no doubt my vehicle would be in great care. The front desk associate, Michaela, was excellent. Another friendly face and bright smile. She accommodated us to perfection. Very professional and knowledgeable. The rooms were very clean and tidy. There is absolutely zero complaints from us. It was a great night to relax and enjoy the city.

Fowzia went above and beyond to support us in our arrival. She made sure our check in was efficient and speedy and was super helpful. We were arriving at separate time and she made sure we could get in our rooms. Also she made sure the porter received his tip.

Called to get help w/ some assistance with a rather unique request for my stay. I ended up speaking w/ Jason at the front desk and he handled my request REALLY quickly. I really am grateful to be a Hilton loyalist, and this is why I will continue to prefer Hilton over any other brand.

It’s my second time in KC, the curio collection sounded great but, the first room I had was occupied by 2 people’s bags already, but once I got to the bar Fran was amazing, Chicken Marsala didn’t have very much flavor but the drinks that Fran served were 10/10

Hello Cody, thank you for taking the time to complete our guest satisfaction survey. Being a valued guest of ours, your comfort and satisfaction while staying with us matter a great deal. It seems that there was room for improvement during your recent visit. I am happy to hear the front desk was able to solve those issues and that Fran helped turn the day around. I will share your comments about the Chicken Marsala with our Chef.

Terrible room. Toilet was filthy floors were filthy, and there were FINGERNAILS on the carpet by the bed! Months of scum along the floor of the bathroom. Looks like the vacuum only hits the central parts of the room, so everything along baseboards, especially in bathrooms, and by the bed are trapped forever . The restaurant was good but busy in the evening so I requested room service…. In room dining has a very limited menu. Two orders of mozzarella sticks and Tuscan chicken pasta was $76. They delivered shrimp scampi pasta instead of Tuscan chicken, daughter is highly allergic to so we waited an additional 20 minutes ON TOP of the 1 HOUR we originally waited. Somehow my keychain was lost by valet. 2 nights/2days parking/one in room dining = $848.91. All in all, not a true upscale hotel, without the filth of someone else’s fingernails and toilet… all the quirks of an old historic hotel with ancient elevators and wonky floors. When I showed the front desk, the videos and photos of our room all I was told was “gross! I’ll let the housekeeping manager know” hopefully I will hear from somebody and management on Monday. this hotel has prime real estate in the heart of the city located next to Kansas City, power and light District, as well as convention center and local theaters… Hilton should pour a little more into this investment to make it worth the price as several other guests we traveled with made mention of the same issues of dirty bathrooms, and carpets that needed cleaning . We would have checked out immediately, except there was a volleyball convention/cheer competition/dance competition all going on at the same time as well as weddings… There were no rooms to be had.

We stay here every year for a large volleyball tournament. Besides the elevators being a bit slower, this hotel is always a go to when attending KC. Upon arrival, Devenie was so accommodating and friendly, a PERFECT first impression; she was able to get all of our rooms situated while holding onto her big smile and extra big personality. Even after a small mishap with our first room, she was able to seamlessly switch us over to the correct room with no trouble. The diamond lounge and restaurant/speakeasy daily credit are just added bonuses to our stay so we will of course be returning again next year!
