The $9 million renovation incorporated the débuts of the new M.I. Greatroom, a.k.a., The Lobby {Reinvented}, a place where business and leisure intersect in a stunningly stylish, energetic and multidimensional setting that inspires guests to engage, relax, work and play.  The M.I. Greatroom is an ideal spot for guests to engage in small work groups, gather in a casual dining experience or socialize and unwind in an inviting, comfortable, living-room atmosphere with intimate social zones, enabling guests to tailor the use of the space to suite their own needs, much as they would do in their own homes. 

• The welcome zone has been transformed into more than just a place to check-in at the front desk or kiosk, featuring a new approach to local information, personalized concierge services and retail offerings.
• The individual zone is a quiet place to unwind with small, comfortable spaces to read magazines and newspapers, work, surf the net or listen to personal entertainment, as well as enjoy a snack.
• The social zone enables groups of business travelers to relax in a lounge atmosphere, offering intimate tables-for-two, where guests can converse with a glass of wine or gourmet treat, as well as other areas for impromptu meetings or breakout discussions.
• The business zone includes a multi-functional boardroom complete with audio/visual equipment, a space with state-of-the-art technology for small groups, a revamped business center, and quiet spaces for private conversations.

Vibrant colors and rich hues merge throughout the building to bring a vision of contemporary style, elegance and sophistication to this urban landmark.  The hotel boasts 16,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including a 42-seat amphitheatre, two concierge levels, Main Street Grill, lobby lounge, executive business center, fitness center and indoor swimming pool.  The 19-story hotel is located approximately four miles south of downtown Kansas City at 4445 Main Street in the renowned Country Club Plaza district.  Home to the region�s most established high-end retail, commercial and residential area, Country Club Plaza is the sophisticated center of Kansas City's dining, shopping and cultural scene.
