Planning a getaway does not always mean leaving town. Sometimes, life does not allow for the luxury of a week-long vacation. When a few hours or a couple of days is all you have, Sojourn Spa is there to provide a luxurious, local escape.
With easily accessible accommodations and dining options, the enjoyment does not have to end after a day of wellness. Housed within the beautiful Cascade Hotel on the Country Club Plaza, Sojourn is the only Kansas City spa located inside a hotel. The atmosphere, the services, the staff– every detail has been intentionally created to leave a lasting impression that keeps locals coming back.
In just over a year of business, Sojourn Spa has created a loyal customer base that raves about its outstanding qualities. According to these four regulars, it is the perfect choice for a Kansas City staycation.

To me, Sojourn provides an upscale luxurious experience from the moment you walk in the door, to the warm and friendly staff, to the waiting and solitude areas, to the treatment room itself - everything successfully gives me the same vibes as if I am at a five start resort far far away from Kansas City, and it only takes me five minutes to get there as opposed to five hours! I would compare Sojourn Spa more to vacation spas versus those I've visited locally. The fact that there is a nice hotel, a beautiful lobby, and a bar attached just makes it a significant plus!
Sojourn massage therapists are top-tier, and the level of care is "vacation quality". Furthermore, the quality level of the add-ons and products used is equal to any luxury spa I've visited. The Infrared spa following a treatment is a nice touch as well.

The facility is beautiful—from the decor to the comfortable, well-appointed rooms, every detail reflects care and quality. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. They don’t just provide excellent service—they remember you. That personal touch, being recognized and acknowledged, creates a sense of belonging that makes every visit feel special. It’s not just about hospitality; it’s about being genuinely valued.
They remember who you are—your preferences, how you like your services, and even the tone of your conversations. That personalized touch leaves a lasting impression. As they build rapport with you, they become aware of your wants and needs. For instance, my massage therapist recommended I try a facial, knowing it would complement my usual treatment. It was something I had never experienced, but thoroughly enjoyed. This level of thoughtfulness goes beyond routine service.

From the moment you walk into Sojourn, the energy shifts. The ambiance is serene and beautiful, and the staff greets you like a friend. Every interaction feels genuine—nothing is rushed, nothing is overlooked. By the end of the visit, I always feel grounded, glowing, and completely reset. I have challenged myself to make regular visits to Sojourn – it's good for both my skin and my wellbeing. It’s like taking a deep breath in the middle of a busy life.
The founders are Kansas City natives who brought back everything they learned from living in big cities to create a world-class experience for our community. There’s a real pride and purpose in what they’re doing—and you feel that. Whether you're popping in for a quick service or making a whole day of it, it never feels transactional—it feels personal, meaningful, and restorative.

Little luxuries like the tranquil relaxation lounge, complimentary herbal teas, and plush robes create an immersive experience that allows you to fully unwind. Even small details, like the calming music and beautifully designed treatment rooms, make you forget you’re still in Kansas City and transport you into a peaceful, resort-like escape.
Sojourn doesn’t just offer massages or facials; it offers personalized, elevated treatments tailored to your needs, with thoughtful enhancements like aromatherapy, custom pressure, or special skincare options. The spa’s serene design, peaceful relaxation spaces, and high-quality products create an environment that feels more like a boutique retreat than a typical day spa.

My guest experience meets every need I would expect in a luxury upscale spa: terrific hospitable staff that just "gets it", beautiful decor, peaceful and quiet ambiance, an excellent shop, and tranquil common areas like the waiting, solitude, and changing rooms.
