Kansas City Marriott launches $16M renovation

The Marriott Kansas City Overland Park in Overland Park, Kan., is currently undergoing a $16 million renovation that will include major updates to all guestrooms and public spaces including the lobby, expanded fitness center, concierge lounge, meeting spaces and a new restaurant and bar.
  
As part of the upgrade, all guestrooms will get king-sized beds, making the Marriott the only hotel in the area with double kings. Guestrooms will also include all-new luxury vinyl tile flooring, drapes, wall coverings, furniture, and 55” televisions. The majority of the new guestroom bathrooms have been converted from tubs to showers with a new lighted vanity mirror. Additional upgrades include new high-speed internet infrastructure.
 
The 24-hour fitness center is doubling in size to 1,500 square feet and will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and all new weight training and cardio equipment, including four new Peloton bikes.
 
All meeting spaces, including the 10,000 square foot ballroom, are being updated with new flooring, wall coverings, lights and contemporary chandeliers. The lobby and front desk areas are also being updated with new flooring and updated design.
 
The hotel’s relocated concierge lounge will triple in size and become a flagship Marriott M Club experience.

Zephyr Kitchen & Bar, a new gathering place for Overland Park, will be integrated into the Marriott.
 
The Marriott Kansas City Overland Park was acquired in August 2019 by Wexford Lodging Advisors, a Columbus, Ohio-based hotel investment firm, and Trinity Private Equity Group, a Southlake, Texas-based alternative asset management firm. “Wexford and Trinity are delighted with the hotel’s renovation,” said John Rosen, president of Wexford. “We recognized the special place the Marriott holds within the Overland Park community and were focused in particular on designing vibrant public spaces that guests and locals alike will enjoy.”  
 
The Marriott Kansas City Overland Park is managed by Davidson Hospitality Group, a full-service hospitality management company.
 

The renovations are expected to be completed by November.
