Where to stay in Blue Hills
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Nobody books a room between Swope Parkway and 63rd Street. Blue Hills is housing, and the beds that serve this side of Kansas City sit west of The Paseo among the museum blocks, where the hotel stock has always been built and where a visitor to the neighborhood ends up sleeping. Prospect Avenue is not a hotel street.
Come here for a service, a relative or a ball game, and the room you book will carry a Kansas City address from somewhere else in the city.

About Blue Hills
What are the main landmarks in Blue Hills?
Blue Hills borrows its landmarks. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Toy and Miniature Museum all stand west of The Paseo, and so do Epperson House, Mineral Hall and the Community Christian Church. Between Swope Parkway and 63rd Street the register is blank.
Museums, a mansion and a church are the neighborhood's credited names, and every one of them asks a visitor to cross a boundary street to reach it.
What is the history of Blue Hills?
Swope Parkway draws the northern line. Blue Hills enters the record already bounded, with 63rd Street to the south, Prospect Avenue to the east and The Paseo to the west, a neighborhood described in pavement because no founding date was ever set down for it. Kansas City did the dating.
The older names on its roster, August Meyer House, Mineral Hall and the Community Christian Church, belong to the blocks beyond The Paseo, and Blue Hills itself carries no year.
Where is Blue Hills?
Blue Hills holds the Kansas City, Missouri blocks between Swope Parkway and 63rd Street, bounded east by Prospect Avenue and west by The Paseo.
