The Q Hotel, which is just off Broadway, less than a mile south of the Uptown Theater, defines itself as Kansas City's "green" hotel for its environmental awareness, including its high level of energy efficiency and the fact that it provides bicycles for guests. The Q hotel has received the "Green Seal," a label of approval given by a nonprofit organization of the same name. Accommodations at the ultra modern hotel include king-sized beds covered in Turkish linens, iPod stereos and even an in-room jacuzzi in some cases. The on-site spa, another major feature of The Q Hotel, offers Swedish massages, hot stone therapy and manicures.
About a mile south of the Uptown Theater, across the street from the town's historic Westport Square, is the Embassy Suites. The entire building is made up of suites rather than standard hotel rooms, and at 12 stories high, provides unobstructed views of the surrounding area for most guests. Accommodations inside the suites, aside from the bed, feature a living area with cable television, a separate work area and a mini kitchen equipped with microwave and refrigerator. While breakfast is complimentary, the hotel also provides an on-site steakhouse for additional dining options. The Embassy Suites is family friendly, providing room playpens and cribs on request.
The Marriott Fairfield Inn is about a mile north of the Uptown Theater, in the Union Hill neighborhood of the city. The four-story building houses 100 guest rooms, including 16 suites, and while brick covers most of the traditionally-styled walls, all of the accommodations feature modern hotel amenities, such as wireless Internet and cable television. The hotel also provides guests with access to the on-site fitness center and an indoor pool with separate hot tub. A complimentary "Early Eats" breakfast is offered to each guest at the Fairfield Inn.
A mile or so south of the Uptown Theater, in the same block as The Q Hotel, is the Holiday Inn, providing an economical lodging option for visitors to the area. Like most Holiday Inns, the Kansas City location caters particularly to business travelers, providing work areas in each room, wireless Internet and access to the hotel's business center. The Holiday Inn also includes an on-site grille, as well as a bar that offers a daily happy hour special.
