Book a Romantic Getaway to Kansas City

Lovebirds looking for a special romantic getaway filled with intimate restaurants, bars, boutique hotels and cozy activities should head to Kansas City, Missouri.

When looking for places to stay, check out The Hotel Kansas City and The Aida KC. The Hotel Kansas City combines old-school charm with modern luxury. The 1920s, Victorian-inspired rooms include loft suites with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto downtown Kansas City. Enjoy breakfast and coffee in the lobby; dinner at Town Company; and a late-night dance at Nighthawk, the hotel’s basement bar.

Tucked into the historic neighborhood surrounding the iconic Country Club Plaza, The Aida KC offers a home away from home for couples. The LGBTQIA+-owned property is decorated with unique art around the hotel and inside its luxurious rooms. Couples can enjoy complimentary snacks and coffee throughout their stay. The hotel is in the perfect location for travelers to explore attractions such as Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

Although there are plenty of places to dine, couples should check out Farina. The restaurant specializes in handcrafted, modern Italian, all from a James Beard Award-winning chef. Located in Crossroads Arts District, couples can indulge in the oyster bar, with shellfish flown in daily; unique pasta dishes like braised lamb raviolo, nori and caviar spaghetti; and a delicious wine list.

Looking for a more romantic dinner? Head to Tailleur for a quintessential candlelight dinner in a cozy restaurant. Enjoy European-style comfort food like French salmon, coq au vin and steak tartare. This Valentine’s Day, the restaurant offers a special French-inspired, coursed menu with wine pairings, a flower bouquet and a box of French macarons.

After dinner, stroll through the neighborhood’s many art galleries before hopping on the free KC Streetcar to your next destination.
