Fondly referred to as the 'Paris of the Plains,” Kansas City’s rich history laid the foundation for a flourishing arts scene.
Nicknamed the Paris of the Plains, Kansas City is a surprising artist gem in the Midwest making it an off-the-beaten-path destination for cultural exploration.
“Welcome to 21c Hotel,” said the young man behind the front desk. “The art galleries are open 24/7 so if you want to come down at 2 a.m. to take in the artwork in complete silence, which we always encourage, you can.”. Situated in downtown Kansas City in the historic Savoy Hotel building, the 21c Museum Hotel wears many hats: It’s an art museum, a hotel, a dining spot, and a cultural hub.
When one thinks of artistic hotspots, a hotel in Kansas City does not immediately spring to mind. In fact the city Kansas City in general is often overlooked for more obvious art cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. However, deep in America’s heartland, KC surprisingly holds its own when it comes to the arts. Fondly referred to as the “Paris of the Plains,” the city’s rich history laid the foundation for a flourishing arts scene.
