Hotels Wichita

The city of Wichita is the largest city in the state of Kansas and is located on the Arkansas River. The arrival of aircraft pioneers such as Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna and Bill Lear and the establishing of their respective corporations, led to the city's nickname of "Air Capital of the World". Hawker Beechcraft and Cessna are still based in the city today, as well as Learjet and even Boeing and Airbus have a very present workforce in the city. The Intrust Bank Arena, a cultural center, is in Wichita as well as universities such as the Wichita State University. The city has already been ranked amongst the 10 best big cities in America to live in and has aptly been called "uniquely American". The hotels Wichita offer their guests have modern amenities and around the clock services such as a 24-hour manned front desk and free wireless Internet.

The aviation industry is by far the largest one in the city and Boeing the largest employer. Aircraft manufacturing dominates the local economy and its influence encompasses the whole region. Healthcare employs approximately 28,000 people in the area and is the second largest employer in the city. Koch Industries and Cargill, two large privately held companies, have headquarters in the city. Corporations that want to host a convention in the city will find sufficient exhibit space and a number of meeting and banqueting rooms at The Century II Convention Center, which is located in downtown Wichita. Delegates to the convention will be pleased to know that suitable accommodation is available at the nearby hotels Wichita has listed. Shuttles can be requested to and from the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport and the Beech Factory Airport.

The city has two festivals every year. The River Festival takes place in June and features more than 70 different events, including a flea market, live music, food stalls and fireworks to mention a few. The Tall Grass Film Festival, in October, showcases features and short films from across the globe over the three days of the festival.

The guest at the hotels Wichita provides can visit several art and history museums in the city, many of which are scattered around the districts of Delano, Old Town and South Commerce Street. Enquire from the concierge at one of the hotels Wichita has provided about the Final Friday Gallery Crawl. The Symphony Orchestra and the Music Theatre have regular performances at the Century II Convention Hall. The Orpheum Theatre is the venue for smaller shows. The largest IMAX Theater in the world is located at the Warren Theatre. Visit the Art Museum, the Mid-America All-Indian Center and Exploration Place, a science museum. The children will enjoy the butterflies at the Botanica Gardens and the 2,500 animals at the Sedgwick County Zoo. Sedgwick County Extension Arboretum is also worth a visit.

Learn all about the city and Sedgwick County at The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. Artifacts dating back as far as 1865 are on display. The Old Town district houses restaurants and nightclubs, as well as the Museum of World Treasures and the Great Plains Transportation Museum. Given the aviation history of the city, The Kansas Aviation Museum at the McConnell Air Force Base is a must. Serious shopping can be done at the Bradley Fair Shopping Center, where shops and restaurants can be found. The guest can also take advantage of the shops on site at the hotels Wichita provides.
