The Elms Hotel & Spa, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

8 Best Hotels in Kansas City, Missouri for a Local Stay - AFAR

"Located about 30 minutes from the city in Excelsior Springs, the property is a long-running historic spa hotel centered on a 25,000-square-foot spa and a Roman bath–style Grotto inspired by local mineral waters and their reputed curative properties. With more than a century of history—having been rebuilt after two fires—the grounds include 16 acres of landscaped gardens and an outdoor pool with weekend cocktail service; the hotel also leans into its paranormal lore with ghost-story lore and organized paranormal tours for curious guests." - Tonya Russell
