I’ve read that magazine. Those kind of best of lists are useful in the aggregate. I’ll look at several and figure out the consensus.
Being on any visible national list is a big deal just because it will drive business.

Kind of disappointing, wonder what will happen with all of the art? The 21c in Nashville and OKC have also 'rebranded' out over the past couple of years, as well.FangKC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 6:33 pm 21c Museum Hotel KC is transitioning to the new brand, the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, managed by Avion Hospitality as of January 16, 2025.

Tough to make it as a chain that size and that niche. Definitely sucks.

Bentonville’s even just remodeled their dining room and took out much of their permanent art (the bees, wasps and paper airplanes)kcjak wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2025 9:35 amKind of disappointing, wonder what will happen with all of the art?

Re: OFFICIAL - 21c Museum Hotel KC (former Savoy Hotel)
hopefully they leave most of the art to allow it to retain its boutique vibe. Turning into a copy & paster "corporate" version of boutique will kill it even further. Why stay there when you could go to Lowes or the President for the same vibe and maybe similar price. Bummer, but sounds like 21C is dealing with bigger issues.

Re: OFFICIAL - 21c Museum Hotel KC (former Savoy Hotel)
The KCBJ article mentions the 21c chain's acquisition by Accor Hotels our of France in 2018, right after the KC 21c opened. From an outside perspective, it sounds like it hasn't been the same midwest based small, artsy chain since. And likely over-expanded.
But who knows, this is unfortunate. Also curious what will happen to the art. Although to be fair, I used to go hang at the old Savoy Grill bar far more often than the 21c redux.

Re: OFFICIAL - 21c Museum Hotel KC (former Savoy Hotel)
Accor doesn’t have much of a brand following here nor corporate or reward accounts but they do have a lot of really unique and funky hotels across the portfolio. Hilton will likely be able to drive a lot more revenue.rxlexi wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:35 amThe KCBJ article mentions the 21c chain's acquisition by Accor Hotels our of France in 2018, right after the KC 21c opened.
