Property Description

The Truitt Boutique Hotel Kansas City is a boutique hotel set within the grandeur of a historic brick colonial mansion built in 1916 by Mr. Elmore Shelton Truitt, steps from the Nelson Atkins Museum, the Kemper Art Museum and the Country Club Plaza in the Historic Country Club Plaza District. Both nostalgic and modern, the property offers gorgeously manicured but not overly fussy gardens, curated, fun and playful spaces, and a fine art collection. Rooms are spacious with luxurious bathrooms, each with its own unique vibe — a mix of yesterday with touches of modern chic and playful design.

Great stay at the Truitt
Pros:

Excellent service, beautiful inn and room, great location

Cons:

The steps to the 3rd floor to reach the 1 bdrm suite (my bf has mobility issues), but we were offered a swap to a king room on the main level if we wanted to forego the steps. When we opted to keep the suite, the host was very kind and carried our luggage to the room.

Lovely establishment in the heart of KC for those who want more than a large hotel experience.
Pros:

Small boutique hotel in great location with beautiful rooms that are clean & comfortable. Easy check in/ check out and free parking.

Cons:

Common sitting areas were not as comfortable as expected (compared to the Truitt East across the street). A little dark and there was no table with chairs (except for on the veranda). Otherwise very lovely.

A nice gem in KC
Pros:

Friends told us about The Truitt. Making a reservation was easy, but you aren't certain which room you'll get unless you know the rooms and can request a specific one. But it all turned out well and we ended up with a nice Queen room on the second floor in the owners' first property. The grounds and common areas are clean and well-appointed; the furniture is comfortable and abundant. One aspect of The Truitt that we didn't care for was the disco-like, grinding music that was piped in throughout the first floor. It wasn't deafeningly loud, but just rather "tiring" after 15 minutes of listening to it (personal preference; just not the genre that appeals to us). It was tolerable in the afternoon and evening (we loved sitting in the beautiful common spaces!), but it was horrible at 9am when we went down to get coffee. The "morning snacks" aren't really that at all, so don't think you're actually getting any kind of real food. But there are loads of coffee houses within 5 minutes in every direction.

We met Zach, the property manager, and he let us tour the second Truitt property across the street as well as the new Aida property just around the corner. Each home has its own "feel" and all are beautifully deocorated. We'll certainly be back!

It felt like going to visit your cool aunt's house-- charming, cozy and relaxing.
Pros:

I really enjoyed contactless check-in. It really made our stay feel more home-y rather than in a sterile hotel. The decorations in our room were so beautiful and classy and we felt like we were staying at someone's house. We are 100% staying at the Truitt again when we come back and can't wait to visit again!

Cons:

I do not have a single note!
