Elms Springs Hotel and Spa: The Grande Dame of Excelsior Springs

March 2, 2018

Entertainment

Before or after meetings, guests can explore the 16 acres of manicured resort grounds, lounge around the outdoor fire pit area or relax by the indoor or outdoor hot tubs. The hotel offers movies on the lawn during good weather as well as bocce ball, badminton and shuffleboard courts. The seasonal outdoor swimming pool is a good spot for enjoying weekend poolside cocktails, and during the cooler months, guests can head indoors to soak in the indoor European lap pool. The highlight for many guests is the 25,000-square-foot spa, which includes the Grotto, a modern take on a traditional Roman bath.

Catering

The hotel offers a dedicated catering and convention services department that caters to meeting guests’ needs with a range of prearranged day meeting packages, breaks, and breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar menus. The catering team also creates customized menus to meet each group’s budget or taste. Breakfast and brunch menus aren’t complete without the hotel’s freshly brewed Roasterie Elms Blend coffee, and guests rave about the elaborate omelet station. A range of displays, stations and passed appetizers are available for receptions, and plated dinners range from healthful seafood options to the famous Kansas City Strip steak. Alcohol is available.

Extras

The hotel features complimentary high-speed internet access throughout the property as well as audiovisual services within the meeting spaces, and meeting planners will have direct access to a dedicated event coordinator on-site. Although the hotel offers complimentary parking, valet service is available. The hotel welcomes pets, offers room service in all of the 153 luxury guest rooms and suites, and has an on-call concierge that is available to recommend dining and entertainment options in the area, as well as help planners coordinate team-building activities and retreat itineraries on-site.
