A very forlorn area of DT for hospitality. Anything at all is blocks away through deserted empty landscape.

I believe this building was for sale recently and the listing mentioned it having some Airbnbs in it. This might be a way for those Airbnbs to operate legally while also getting a retail tenant in there.

The lobby library will have an extensive record collection for guests to explore. As part of a planned second phase 2, VBRG will add a rooftop bar.
Each guest room features 13-foot-tall ceilings and a different musical theme with related décor. A room could draw inspiration from a particular song, genre or band. VBRG is mulling a Beatles room and already plans to do a Charlie Parker room in honor of the famous jazz musician with Kansas City ties.

Re: 301 Admiral Hotel Development
Hope it can inject some life into that corner of downtown. There’s a surprising amount of building stock left there, but it’s pretty desolate
