Location: Village West resort vs downtown convenience

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City – Location

Margaritaville sits in Village West, a short drive from Kansas Speedway, Legends Outlets and Children’s Mercy Park.

  • Address: 1491 North 98th Terrace, Kansas City, Kansas (suburban/entertainment district).
  • Close to family and entertainment attractions; car recommended for most trips.
  • About 19–24 minutes by car from Kansas City International Airport per the hotel’s FAQ.

Good if you want easy access to Speedway, outlet shopping and family attractions; not central downtown.

Crowne Plaza Kansas City Downtown – Location

Crowne Plaza is located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, a short walk to the Convention Center and T-Mobile Center.

  • Address: 1301 Wyandotte St, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 — directly adjacent to Kansas City Convention Center.
  • Walkable to Power & Light District, performance venues and downtown restaurants.
  • Better suited to guests attending downtown events, concerts or convention meetings.

Choose Crowne Plaza for downtown access and event proximity; expect more urban surroundings and easier transit/walking options.

Rooms: suites and balcony options vs downtown guest rooms

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City – Rooms

Margaritaville has 228 rooms including 11 suites, several with private balconies or ground-floor walk-out decks.

  • Room types include Deluxe Room, Premium Room (patio), multiple suite configurations and a Jimmy Buffett suite.
  • Many rooms have pool-facing balconies; select ground-level suites offer direct pool access.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi and in-room amenities; in-room dining is available.

Rooms emphasize resort access and outdoor views; good for families and pool-facing stays.

Dining & drinks: poolside grill and casual venues vs downtown restaurant & bar

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City – Dining & drinks

  • There is one bar/lounge for evening drinks and one coffee shop/cafe for lighter fare.
  • Food and drink options are aimed at business and convention guests as well as leisure visitors.

  • Seasonal outdoor pool is available (open roughly June–September per property notes).
  • No detailed indoor-pool features or family water attractions are published for this property.
  • Pool access for non-guests and cabana/day-pass details are not published.
