Kansas City, Missouri Oct 15, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Southmoreland on the Plaza, one of Kansas City’s most iconic boutique hotels, is thrilled to announce that the new KC Streetcar Main Street Extension will officially begin service on October 24, 2025, with a stop located right outside the hotel’s front entrance.
This highly anticipated streetcar extension connects the historic Country Club Plaza district to downtown Kansas City, offering free, fast, and eco-friendly transportation to some of the city’s top attractions, restaurants, and cultural landmarks — all just steps away from Southmoreland’s front door.
“This new streetcar stop is transformational for our guests,” said Kristen Doppelt, CEO. “Visitors can now step outside our doors and travel seamlessly through the heart of Kansas City — from Union Station and Crossroads to River Market — without worrying about parking or driving. It’s an incredible way to experience the city.”
The new Main Street Extension expands the KC Streetcar route by 3.5 miles south from Union Station through Midtown, eventually reaching University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC). With this development, Southmoreland became one of the few boutique hotels in Kansas City directly connected to the city’s most dynamic transit system.
