Just read up on The Cherry KC’s history — can you believe that building dates back to 1916? It’s wild how they preserved the bones but transformed it into something so modern and luxurious. Anyone else fascinated by this kind of architectural evolution?

Same here. I geeked out over the structural details. You can still see the craftsmanship from over a century ago — like the intricate molding and the aged brick — but it’s all paired with high-end finishes, touchless tech, and artistic lighting. It’s like the building got a second life.
I know, right? It’s amazing how The Cherry KC transformed a historic 1916 building into a stunning modern space without losing its original charm. The blend of old and new feels so authentic and luxurious at the same time. It’s one of the best examples of adaptive reuse I’ve seen in a Kansas City hotel Preserving the building’s character while adding contemporary design elements really creates a unique experience that respects the past but welcomes the future. Definitely a must-visit for architecture fans!
