Book Pet Friendly Hotels in Kansas City

Like its famous barbecue, Kansas City is known for variety. When it comes to the thick, tangy, tomato and molasses sauce, you’re not limited to one type of meat as in other smokehouse hubs. Slow cooked beef, pork, chicken, and turkey all serve as a conveyance for the delectably sweet concoction. That same freedom of choice is mirrored in the city’s welcoming attractions. You and your furry friend will enjoy a vibrant visual arts scene, a revitalized urban district, swinging jazz clubs, and enough fountains to give Rome a run for its money. And, with so many pet-friendly hotels in Kansas City like Hotel Phillips, you’ll never be too far from any of the fun.
