A $15 million restoration is under way at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza.
The overhaul will affect the entire hotel, including its guest rooms, lobby, lounge, restaurant, meeting rooms, and exterior.
A large portion of the restoration will be finished by mid-November, with the entire project slated for completion by early next year.
The hotel opened in 1972 as the Alameda Plaza and since then has flown the Ritz-Carlton and Fairmont flags. It hasn’t been renovated since 1990.
