Whether you want to spend a weekend immersed in Tuscan luxury or nestled among the foliage of the Mayan rain forest, Chateau Avalon awaits with 62 themed rooms and suites. From a Tahitian treehouse suite to a Jesse James escape suite, the elaborate interiors available at Chateau Avalon add a dimension of adventure to your Kansas City [2] vacation.

The hotel’s location in western Wyandotte County puts visitors next to Kansas Speedway [3] and the Legends at Village West [4] shopping district, but be prepared to drive at least 20 minutes to other must-see attractions such as the Country Club Plaza [5] and downtown Kansas City.
