Close Inclusive Collection Job Postings Notification

"When you work in Hawaii, in addition to learning about the functional aspects of running a hotel — like the proper way to make a bed or how to best handle luggage — it’s critically important to understand Hawaiian culture and the spirit of ‘ohana, or ‘family.’ When opening the first Andaz property in Hawaii, our team participated in Hawaiian culture training to help us understand what ‘ohana truly means. "

Setting the standard for grand hospitality, Hotel Kansas City has delivered an experience like no other since its opening in late 2020. Named one of the “Best New Hotels in the World” by Travel + Leisure, and Kansas City’s newest #1 Hotel on TripAdvisor, guests can indulge in Victorian-inspired guest rooms merged with modern twists, preserved touches like hand-hewn walnut and stained glass windows, and multiple show-stopping food and beverage outlets. Centrally located in the historic Kansas City Club Building, the hotel is only steps away from the city’s best nightlife, restaurants, and shopping.

In addition to the hotel's 144 guest rooms are the Town Company restaurant; Nighthawk, a live music cellar cocktail bar; and a lobby lounge and bar that will bring locals and guests together for impromptu mingling. For the event minded guests, there will be 20,000 feet of meeting space that includes impressive historic ballrooms and a 3,000 square foot rooftop event patio.
