Hotels near Country Club Plaza

The Country Club Plaza - often called simply 'The Plaza' - is Kansas City's most elegant district. Modelled on Seville with Spanish-tiled architecture, outdoor fountains, and upscale boutiques along Ward Parkway, it is unlike any other neighbourhood in the Midwest. Several of Kansas City's best restaurants and the most polished mid-range to luxury hotels are concentrated here.

Plaza rates on match weekends run $220-420/night. Arrowhead Stadium is a 20-minute rideshare ($20-35). The Nelson-Atkins Museum (4525 Oak St) is a 5-minute rideshare north. The Plaza itself is beautiful to walk at night when the Spanish-tile buildings are illuminated, and the dining options span everything from upscale steak houses to casual barbecue.

Pro Tip: Book a table at one of the Kansas City BBQ legends before or after your match. Joe's Kansas City (3002 W 47th Ave) is 10 minutes from the Plaza by rideshare and widely regarded as one of the best barbecue restaurants in the country. Their burnt ends - $18 for a half pound at time of writing - are the item to order.

Stadium distance: 12 km, 20-min rideshare ($20-35).
