The Fontaine
Mediterranean/Renaissance-inspired boutique luxury. Think hand-blown Venetian glass chandeliers, custom tile mosaics, carved wood paneling, and bold Renaissance artwork. Sophisticated but approachable — not stuffy.
Pool is hotel guests only (and seasonal through late September), but weekday day passes can be bought via ResortPass
Why It Matters
Named #7 Best Hotel in the Midwest by Condé Nast Traveler in 2025. AAA Four Diamond rated. One of Kansas City's only true design-forward boutique hotels, and among the very few with a rooftop pool in the city. Member of the Curator Hotel & Resort Collection.
The Fontaine is a 132-room boutique hotel on Country Club Plaza, Kansas City's upscale shopping and dining district. The lobby sets an immediate tone: hand-blown Venetian glass chandeliers hang above marble floors inlaid with custom mosaics, carved wood panels line the walls, and Renaissance-style artwork makes the place feel more like a Venetian palazzo than a midwestern business hotel. And it pulls it off — the design is theatrical without feeling overdone, and the service keeps the whole thing grounded in Midwestern warmth.
