Hotels & Resorts, a division of The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS),
today announced the completion of a multi-million dollar property-wide
renovation of the historic Hotel Phillips in downtown Kansas City, Mo. “The renovation focused on maintaining the hotel’s elegant Art Deco design elements while adding the high-quality amenities that today’s travelers expect. The newly renovated Hotel Phillips reflects the vibrant feel of Kansas City in the 1930’s, coupled with the modern-day excitement of 21st century city life,” said Chris Anderson, senior vice president, sales, marketing and brand development of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. Anderson said the renovation was part of the company’s focus on continually maintaining and enhancing its properties. “This is the fifth historic property we have renovated. The successful restoration of landmark properties requires specialized knowledge and expertise that we have developed over the past 50 years. Investing in our existing properties is a hallmark of our company, and one of the reasons why many of our hotels are the premier property in their market,” said Anderson. The Hotel Phillips welcomes visitors with dramatic exterior lighting designed to accentuate the hotel’s historic stone detailing. Inside, the lobby opens to reveal inlaid marble floors and pillars, walnut and wrought iron accents, and etched glass and brass light fixtures, also seen throughout other areas of the hotel. The statue of Dawn, a golden angel figure, overlooks the lobby and ties together all of the elements throughout the expansive hotel. The international company Duncan·Miller·Ullmann was the design firm for the project. Hotel Phillips opened in 1931 as the city’s most elegant hotel. Today it retains that beautiful distinctive Art Deco elegance that is now combined with the ambience of a European-style hotel. It features unparalleled guest services and amenities. Hotel Phillips is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been recognized in Southern Living, Food & Wine and The Wall Street Journal.
