InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza by IHG
Pool time built into the Chiefs weekend
About this hotel
InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza by IHG sits in Country Club Plaza, an eight-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Country Club Plaza. As a 4-star property, it keeps things polished, with family-friendly extras, on-site parking, solid road access, a pet-friendly policy, a pool and a fitness room for guests stretching a Chiefs weekend beyond a single game. The on-site bar or restaurant gives a place to watch pre-game coverage without leaving the building, and American Slang Modern Brasserie sits nearby for guests who'd rather eat off-site. No hotel on this list is a genuine walk from Arrowhead Stadium itself, and this one is no exception: the drive or rideshare to the Truman Sports Complex is the same as from most of Country Club Plaza, so guests plan on getting in the car well before kickoff rather than counting on a walk to the gates.

Our take
I would book the InterContinental when the game is one part of a longer Kansas City weekend. Country Club Plaza is an easy walk for meals and shopping, the pool and bar cover downtime, and parking is on site for the game-day drive east to Arrowhead. The 8.2 rating across more than 2,000 reviews backs up the 4-star label.
- Book ahead for a marquee Chiefs matchup, rooms in Country Club Plaza fill days before the ticket lines do.
- Confirm the parking charge before you arrive, this property doesn't list free parking.
- Eat at American Slang Modern Brasserie or the hotel itself before you leave, food lines inside the Truman Sports Complex build fast before kickoff.
Why we love it
- Lists family-friendly extras
- Pool for downtime after the game
- Close to American Slang Modern Brasserie
- Guest rating of 8.2/10
Why guests love itInterContinental at the Plaza is my pick for a Chiefs weekend that leans toward shopping and dinners. Country Club Plaza's shops and restaurants are an eight-minute walk, and the 4-star hotel adds a pool, a fitness room, a bar or restaurant, on-site parking and a pet-friendly policy. An 8.2 average from 2,082 reviews is a strong, well-supported score. Arrowhead is a drive away, as from anywhere on this list.
