Wichita Hotels and Accommodation

(Wichita, Kansas - KS, USA)

The historic city of Wichita offers a wide range of hotels, many of which overlook the scenic Arkansas River. Ranging from lodging chains to more traditional historic hotels, most accommodation in Wichita is reasonably priced and never far from shops, restaurants and local attractions, such as the Central Riverside Park, the Century II Convention Hall arena and the Lawrence Dumont Stadium.

Downtown Wichita features a cluster of hotels, close to two of the largest shopping malls in the whole of Kansas. Other popular city accommodation is located around the College Hill area - including friendly B&Bs in both residential and commercial areas; the Eastborough District - an elegant part of the city, with stylish buildings and appealing hotels; and within Old Town Wichita - where lodging is close to bars, restaurants and a variety of entertainment.

Where to Stay

Further hotels are located around the outskirts of Wichita, and in nearby cities, towns and villages, such as:

• El Dorado (31 miles / 50 km)
• Hesston (36 miles / 58 km)
• Hutchinson (52 miles / 84 km)
• Newton (27 miles / 43 km)
• Park City (9 miles / 14 km)
• Winfield (51 miles / 82 km)

Budget hotels in Wichita tend to be concentrated along the Corporate Hills Drive, East and West Kellogg, North Broadway, South Holland, South Laura Street and South Webb Road, where the Super 8 Motel is a popular option. On North Webb Road, the Candlewood Suites offers competitively priced two-star accommodation just off the Highway US-96. You will also find a particularly dense cluster of motels based around the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (ICT), along the Highway US-54 and the Interstate I-235.

Falling within the mid-range lodging category, the Hotel at Oldtown stands along 1st Street and is well worth looking out for, since it is literally just a stroll from the restaurants and attractions within downtown Wichita, such as the River City Brewery and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. Also very much of note is the three-star Hyatt Regency on West Waterman, which stands alongside the Arkansas River and the Century II Performing Arts and Convention Center. For a spot of upmarket luxury accommodation in Wichita, consider staying at the four-star Marriott Hotel on the Corporate Hill Drive, just off the Kansas Turnpike and near to both the Eastgate Shopping Center and the Towne East Square.
