'Leawood is the perfect place for travelers to awaken to the newest mode of extended stay travel,' said Brandon Raney, Vice President of Development for Presidian Companies. 'Visitors to ELEMENT Leawood will not only appreciate the easy access to Kansas City and its most popular attractions, but also the unique richness that the area has to offer.'
Inspired by Westin Hotels & Resorts, ELEMENT Leawood will offer a new extended stay experience that weaves together modern amenities, intuitive design and nature-inspired touches.
