The Kansas City Council has approved the construction of a new $45 million hotel named the Stealth Hotel at Kansas City International Airport (KCI). Designed to resemble the U.S. Air Force’s B-2 stealth bomber, the hotel will feature a wing-like shape that is set to be illuminated, making it visually striking from the air. This will be the first hotel at KCI since the Kansas City Airport Marriott opened in October 1974. The Stealth Hotel will include 163 rooms and is expected to open in late 2028 or early 2029, following a construction period of about two years starting in late 2026. Developer Doug Gamble aims to honor local culture by collaborating with institutions such as the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum for themed decor on each floor. The Kansas City Council has granted a 30-year lease to Terminal C Hotel LLC, which includes Gamble and other partners, to build and operate the hotel on a four-acre site at the airport.
