Built in 1911 as the Pabst Brewing Depot, this is a place where legacy and a new kind of energy converge. Our story is steeped in history, from the horse-drawn wagons of the brewery to the legendary spirit of Prohibition-era boss Tom Pendergast. Today, we've reimagined this landmark as a hub for locals, travelers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Welcome to the Crossroads Hotel, where every detail is crafted with care, and every conversation is an invitation to connect.
From morning coffee to evening cocktails, Crossroads Hotel is the place to eat and drink like a local. Start your day with a pastry at XR, then join us on the rooftop for a drink with a view. Later, savor modern Italian classics at Lazia, our take on old-world charm. Here, every bite and sip is a journey into Kansas City's rich culinary scene.
The spirit of Kansas City is woven into our bright, inspiring venues, and our team is dedicated to bringing your vision to life with thoughtful touches and unparalleled service.
