Plaza Staycation Guide ⛲️

The Country Club Plaza is a crown jewel in Kansas City. Whenever out-of-town visitors come to KC it’s hard not to recommend spending some time on the Plaza. The history, the architecture, the shopping, the dining, and so much more!

My wife and I recently celebrated our fifth anniversary, and we did so by having a staycation on the Plaza. It was amazing. It reinvigorated my love for the Plaza and reminded me of the gem that it is for Kansas City. I wanted to put together a guide to help others spend a day or two on the Plaza.

NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list! There are so many great things to do on the Plaza, this was just our itinerary that I would highly recommend to visitors and Kansas Citians alike. Here it is:

• 🛍️ SHOP: At its core, the Plaza is an outdoor shopping center with 70+ shops to get a little retail therapy. For the perfect Kansas City shopping experience, make sure to stop at Made in KC, Charlie Hustle, and Rally House.

• 🍸 SIP: After you’ve shopped till you drop, refresh yourself with a drink at Prime Social. The 16th floor of 46 Penn Centre offers spectacular views of the Plaza, delicious cocktails, and great small bites. Don’t miss the Strawberry Fields with the Buzz Button. 👀

• 🍽️ Eat: There’s no shortage of restaurants around the Plaza, but our go-to is Gram and Dun. Request a table on the patio for a truly elevated experience, and no matter what you order for dinner, end your meal with a Gram and Dun Bar. You’re welcome.

• 🛌 Stay: For a truly charming Plaza stay, get a room at The Raphael Hotel. This luxury boutique hotel was awarded the 2020 Best Historic Hotel award from Historic Hotels Worldwide.

• 🍳 Breakfast: Before heading home the next morning, walk just south to Banksia Australian Bakehouse & Cafe. Do not miss the Ricotta Hotcakes, one of the best breakfast items in town.
