About the AC Hotel Kansas City Downtown 
Rooted in Kansas City’s rich architectural heritage, the AC Hotel Kansas City Downtown is a seamless blend of historical character and modern sophistication. Housed in the meticulously restored Rialto Building, originally constructed in 1911, the hotel pays homage to the city’s past while embracing the needs of today’s discerning traveler. Once home to prominent tenants like Sinclair Oil, Charles A. Smith (architect), and medical and legal professionals, the building's storied history reflects the industrious spirit of Kansas City. After surviving a fire in 1909 and later being renamed the Ozark National Life Building in 1967, the structure has now been reborn as a symbol of downtown’s revitalization—just steps from Power & Light, the River Market, and the Financial District.

Designed by CAMPO Architecture and brought to life by VCC, this 239-room hotel (including 11 suites) reimagines the essence of European-inspired hospitality with local flavor. Guests enjoy thoughtfully curated spaces including an expansive, texture-rich lobby, a sleek 24-hour Craft Coffee Bar, and signature AC Lounge featuring Spanish wines, craft cocktails, and a tapas-style dinner menu.
