Welcome to the Hyatt Regency Crown Center Hotel!

HOTEL INFORMATION

The 2008 National Barbie® Doll Collectors Convention is taking place at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center which sets the standard for Kansas City hotels. 

The hotel is adjacent to the Crown Center Exhibit Hall and just minutes from downtown, the Country Club Plaza and nearby theaters and dining.  Connected to the Crown Center shopping complex, the Hyatt Regency Crown Center offers the ultimate location among Kansas City hotels.

The newly renovated Hyatt Regency Crown Center has 731 guestrooms.  We’ve gotten you a terrific rate of $145 a night (for one to four people).  You can stay at the hotel at this great rate from June 11 to June 25, 2008.  So, if you were thinking about combining convention time with vacation time, Kansas City would be a great place to do so!

Since the Hyatt Regency Crown Center is very popular and because it doesn’t have an over-abundance of rooms, we strongly suggest you make your reservations early. 

There are lots of cool things about this hotel.  42 stories up, enjoy a panoramic view from Kansas City’s only revolving restaurant lounge, Skies. With 72 windows lining the exterior, guests are surrounded with the sights of the city.  Enjoy the many sights and sounds of the Crown Center shops, which are easily accessible through the enclosed walkway called “the Link”. 

GETTING TO THE HOTEL

The hotel is about 20 miles from Kansas City International (KCI) Airport.  You can call in advance and reserve a seat for a ride from KCI to the hotel with Super Shuttle (formerly KCI Shuttle).   The new Super Shuttle hotel/airport online reservation URL is:
