Why we love it: A design-forward stay in Kansas City's sophisticated Country Club Plaza The Highlights: - A playful design inspired by Spain- The creative American cuisine at the rooftop restaurant- A rooftop swimming pool and fire pit The Review: The Fontaine fits right in with its surroundings in Country Club Plaza-an area styled after the plazas of Seville, Spain. In the hotel lobby, the marble floors are inlaid with tile mosaics, the walls are hung with large-scale Renaissance artworks, and the ceiling is crowned by a brilliant blue, hand-blown Murano chandelier. The 132 rooms and suites, on the other hand, have an almost coastal feel, complete with a palette of blues, charcoals, and whites. Beds are super comfy, with tapestry headboards and Egyptian cotton linens, while the Carrera marble bathrooms further pamper guests with oversize showers and rainfall showerheads. There are loads of restaurants in Country Club Plaza, but like the shops, many are chains. This makes The Fontaine's dining options all the more appealing. Start with a pre-dinner cocktail at The Bar, which hosts a weekday happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m., then head to dinner at Parker, the hotel's rooftop restaurant. Even with such top-notch F&B, the Fontaine's finest amenity remains its small rooftop pool, which is bordered by a fire pit and backed by panoramic views.
