Article explores staying at the swankiest hotels in Kansas City for a night. Mentions include InterContinental Kansas City's 2,000-square-foot presidential suite for $5,000 a night. The Westin Crown Center has a $1,200-a-night presidential and state suite with a view of Crown Center. With these rooms come "signature bedding, arched ceilings, multiple flatscreen TVs, palatial-size living rooms, and The Wall Street Journal. They've got pillow-thick duvets and artwork chosen by design firms specifically for that room. Many come with access to personal concierges, fridges stocked with Perrier and specialized food and beverage services. High-end fitness centers, restaurants and pools are de rigueur."

"Benton's Prime Steakhouse, The Peppercorn Duck Club, and Skies Restaurant & Lounge will close when Starwood Hotels & Resorts takes over as operator of the Hyatt Regency Crown Center hotel." Starwood also operates the Westin Crown Center hotel where Benton's (on the 20th floor) will become an upscale catering and meeting facility. The Skies, the revolving restaurant on the 42nd floor of the Hyatt, will beomce a "Sheraton Preferred Guest" lounge; and the Peppercorn Duck Club, known for its chocolate bar, may become a meeting place. Over the last ten years, hotel guests prefer leaving the hotel to search out local restaurants instead of opting for "fine dining" offered in hotel restaurants as in former years.
