Opening

A First-Of-Its-Kind Urban Oasis Opens Soon in the West Bottoms

Klā Sanctuary

A new urban oasis called Klā Sanctuary is coming soon to the West Bottoms, and will offer a first-of-its-kind experience in Kansas City.

  • Thermal Experience: Klā Sanctuary will open at 1400 W. 13th St. and will feature a Spa Sanctuary that offers saltwater baths of various temperatures, an herbal steam room, infrared sauna, and a salt altar. It will also offer a full menu of individual and couples treatments, including massage, body wraps, and more.

  • Sit & Sip: Conversion of the historic building is nearly complete, and the space will also feature Selah Lounge offering teas, specialty drinks, light bites, and more made with organic and regenerative practices. Selah will be open to the public, so entrance into the spa is not required.
