The Country Club Plaza – Kansas City’s Iconic Shopping & Dining Destination
Designed as the nation’s first suburban shopping district built specifically for automobiles, the Country Club Plaza is one of Kansas City’s crown jewels. Envisioned by developer J.C. Nichols, the Plaza was inspired by the vibrant marketplaces of Spain. Nichols began acquiring swampy, undeveloped land in 1907, and by 1922, the first buildings of the Plaza were open to the public. Initially called “Nichols’ Folly,” the district went on to become a treasured cultural and commercial center.

Today, the Plaza’s stunning Moorish architecture is complemented by more than $1 million in public artwork, including beautiful fountains, vibrant murals, and over 30 statues, making every stroll feel like a walk through an open-air museum.

Where to Dine
With over 30 restaurants and 17 outdoor dining patios, the Plaza offers something for every taste and budget. From long-standing Kansas City classics to trendy newcomers, it’s a food lover’s paradise.

Notable favorites include:

Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue – Kansas City’s legendary BBQ
Gram & Dun – upscale gastropub with great patio vibes
Rye KC – comfort food with a modern twist
The Oliver – new American cuisine in a stylish setting
Parkway Social Kitchen – great for brunch or cocktails

Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, fine dining, or a quick bite in between shops, you’ll find it here.

Visitor Info
Stop by Plaza Customer Service at 4750 Broadway for detailed information on local attractions, events, and transportation. You’ll also find luxurious public restrooms, a comfortable lounge, and complimentary coffee and tea to help you recharge during your visit.

Nearby Attractions
The Plaza is centrally located and surrounded by some of Kansas City’s top cultural landmarks:
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art – world-class art collection
The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art – modern works in a bold space
The National Museum of Toys & Miniatures – located just south on the UMKC campus, this museum is a hidden gem for all ages

Whether you’re visiting for the history, the architecture, the shopping, or the food, the Country Club Plaza delivers an unforgettable Kansas City experience.

You will be able to access the entire home, backyard and basement which includes a full size washer and dryer.

Spring Break

This is our second time staying here and it was just as great as the first time! It’s a charming house, so much to do in the neighborhood, and even great for dogs! Took lots of walks, and spent family time on the porch. Our toddler waved goodbye and said “bye bye KC house! See you next time!”

We will not be staying at this location again

This property is not kid friendly whatsoever. In the picture of the family room it shows a rug on the floor, however there is not a rug on the floor. This made it extremely difficult with our 6 month old who likes to lay on the floor. This space is not family friendly as it is quite crammed. The floor is extremely noisy when walking on it. We did not like the security of the place, the front door is so flimsy that someone could have easily broken in if they wanted to. Both mornings we woke up to a big black bag that had crawled from the garbage disposal into the kitchen sink. We did not appreciate the "bathroom etiquette" sign. When you have white bathroom towels, that is asking for an accident to happen. You have a rental property, you should not be charged if things aren't returned in the condition they were in when we arrived. In addition, it says all over that this property is walking distance to places. Just because it is walking distance, doesn't mean you should walk. It was very interesting seeing what we saw on our way to the property. We definitely did not feel comfortable walking to anything. We do not feel this was worth the money we spent renting it.

Awesome Spot for Our Visit!

We needed a home base for us and our dogs while visiting our adult twin daughters for their birthday weekend. This was great for that! Close to Westport and the plaza on a quiet street perfect for walking our dogs. They provided dog bowls, treats and bags for cleanup as a nice touch. Cozy, well decorated and outfitted! Loved the extensive coffee bar, tons of spices, nice cookware and seating for 6. One of the nights our daughters made dinner for us and we had a nice meal with them and their boyfriends and watched a movie (lots of streaming options). The floor space in the bedrooms was very limited, but we ended up each with our own bedroom. The bathroom was fairly small, but the configuration of the shower curtain made the shower surprisingly roomy and they provided lots of shelves and towels. We would definitely stay here again.

Easily accessible, pleasant neighborhood, comfortable amenities

We had a wonderful stay at this property for our multi-event family reunion. The location was great because events were both far south and far north of the city. The home was cute and comfortable and suited our needs in the kitchen and also was located near several good restaurants. We had someone successfully set up their work/office in the front room on our first day there. This property was appealing to both generations.
