Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United States have evolved in recent decades. However, LGBT Americans may still face some legal and many social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, particularly in states with large conservative populations, such as in the Deep South; in rural areas; and in some Native American tribal nations.

U.S. federal law does not explicitly include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. In June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are included under “sex” as a prohibited ground of employment discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

KC has a shortage of nice hotels. I had stayed at the 21c in Arkansas before and loved that property. So I was thrilled to find out they opened another property in KC. Such a cool building. Rooms were really comfortable. You can tell they spent a ton of money to restore and upgrade this historic building. Love that there is a real museum on site. Get a glass of wine and take your time looking at all the exhibits. Highly recommend if you want an upscale and unique experience in KC.

This is honestly one of the coolest hotels. It is such a unique concept. Rooms were spotless, with all the modern amenities, but still lots of historic charm. Bed was so comfortable, like you cannot move your arms in the morning because you slept so soundly, comfortable. Staff was friendly, valet was fantastic, restaurant was terrific.

The hotel is lovely and it has been updated very well. The room was comfortable and very attractive. I love that they have a Nespresso machine – best in-room coffee ever! The bathroom is updated, but a little art deco, too. Nice that there’s a robe.

The hotel is downtown and a couple of blocks from the trolley, so convenient to get to Power & Light District and Crown Center. Great place overall.

We enjoy the old, historic buildings and the renovations made to reflect a cool, hip hotel. The KC location is a little off the beaten path but worth a try. Hotel 21c is still walkable to the Power and Light District and Convention Center.

Rooms are spacious, light and bright. We enjoyed breakfast in the hotel restaurant, The Savoy, and then working out in the exercise facility (be sure to look up!) Don’t forget to take a peek in the lobby bar and notice the booth where presidents Truman, Ford, and Regan frequented.

And, of course, the three foot penguins make an appearance throughout the hotel.

This is a beautiful newly opened hotel in Crossroads neighborhood of KC. Close to a lot of great places and things to do. Easy to get around. The staff here is amazing and so friendly and helpful! Definitely will stay again.

The XR Cafe or bar is purposefully crafted in a way to allow intentional time. The drinks are great and the food is amazing. I will always recommend the Crossroads Hotel because of their engagement with the community they are in. Yoga classes, run groups, food drives, and more.

The Crossroads Hotel has been beautifully restored and is a perfect combination of old and new. The customer service at the hotel is excellent.

The beds are extremely comfortable and you can tell the furniture in each room has been carefully and thoughtfully selected.

The Crossroads Hotel is located in the Crossroads District in downtown Kansas City. The hotel is a great alternative to “traditional” hotels. It is a renovated warehouse and is boutique style, so there is character abounding throughout with all the modern amenities. The lobby bar and restaurant are great places to gather, eat and drink…a great place to start your evening or spend the entire evening.

The rooftop bar was closed due to my stay being in the winter, but I hear it is one of the best in the city. Since this is a smaller, boutique-style hotel, everything is easier, including parking. I absolutely loved the vibe of this place. There are so many bars, coffee shops, and restaurants within walking distance which makes it so convenient. I definitely recommend staying here if you are wanting to find a unique hotel experience downtown KC.

This is a cool, boutique hotel right in the heart of downtown KC. Many good restaurants are within walking distance as is the street car (which is free), and can take you to several other excellent shopping and dining areas. Hotel staff was one of the friendliest I’ve ever encountered. Bar and restaurant are lively, with a lot of locals along with hotel guests. Rooms are a bit small but very clean and comfortable.

Loved what they have done with the building! Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful! Room was very nice! We really enjoyed our getaway and the ambience of the hotel. We enjoyed time in the lobby bar before walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner- very convenient location.
