Hotel Vandivort - In room record player - Hotels Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I hadn't been to Springfield in years, so I asked a local where I should stay for a quick overnight trip. Without hesitation, he said, "You've got to try the Vandivort." I'm so glad I did. The moment I stepped into the stylish, contemporary lobby, I felt like I'd walked into a boutique hotel in SoHo. The design is chic, modern, and full of personality. I arrived early and was pleasantly surprised to get access to my room right away -- a spacious, beautifully appointed room on the fourth floor of the hotel's main building. (Tip: there's a second building across the alley in back, so if location matters to you, be sure to ask which one you're in.) My room was terrific -- upscale furnishings, high ceilings, and a bed so comfortable I wanted to bring it home with me. Great mattress, perfect pillows -- everything you hope for in a good night's sleep. As luck would have it, the hotel was celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a lobby reception just as I was heading out to a meeting. The place had a celebratory buzz. When I returned, I made a beeline to Vantage, the rooftop bar, for an Old Fashioned. They were out of Angel's Envy (my go-to), but the bartender made a solid one with Woodford Reserve. A quick evening shower made the rooftop a bit humid, so I headed downstairs to The Order, the hotel's lobby bar -- equally impressive, with a standout liquor selection and, yes, Angel's Envy in stock. Round two. The next morning, I hit their fitness room in the back building, followed by a run through downtown. Afterward, I grabbed a surprisingly good $10 breakfast burrito from the on-site café. My only real quibble: no complimentary coffee in the lobby. For a boutique hotel of this caliber, it's a small thing that would make a big difference. Overall, Hotel Vandivort delivered style, comfort, and a memorable experience. If you're heading to Springfield and want something with personality and polish -- stay here. Highly recommended. read more

I recently stayed at Hotel Vandivort for a last-minute weekend getaway to visit some friends in Springfield, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! First things first... this hotel is super welcoming of pets. All of their rooms are dog-friendly. You just have to pay a one time $79 fee. We brought our 75 pound labradoodle with us, and he felt right at home. There's an open grassy area right outside the second phase building that is designated for dogs staying at the hotel to do their business. Our room was on the second floor of the second phase building. I will say it was a bit awkward pushing on our own luggage cart from the lobby to the second phase building across the street upon check in, but this wasn't a dealbreaker to our overall experience. In the second phase building, the elevator was down for a few hours on the Saturday we were there, but luckily we didn't mind taking the stairs since we were only on the second floor. The room itself was lovely. Very impressed by how clean everything was, and the decor was so welcoming and modern. I love how there's a mini kitchen/counter in the room with a sink. Also obsessed with the fact that there's a record player in every room. I immediately put on a record when I arrived, and it was such a vibe. I'm assuming they get all the records from the cute shop across the street from the hotel! I was hoping to order room service one of the nights, but their menu was very fancy and expensive. There weren't necessarily any typical room service snacks or meals. I ended up just ordering pizza from the restaurant right next to the hotel for my late-night snack. We parked valet. They have self-parking available for $10 or valet for $19. I honestly wish I would've just opted for self-parking because valet was very slow and time consuming. Even calling ahead from my hotel room to have my car brought up to the front, I would still have to wait quite a bit. It seemed like their valet team was pretty short staffed. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly though, and I could tell they were working hard. I loved the vibes of their rooftop bar. Such nice views, stunning decor, and the staff was attentive and outgoing. Definitely recommend checking it out during your stay. Besides a few minor critiques, I had an excellent stay at Hotel Vandivort and would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in town. read more

This place is fabulous! i do not have any negative notes to add. The rooms are spacious, have a clean concept, and smell great. The staff was extremely accommodating and the man at the front was very pleasant to chat with. They give you dark chocolate when you check in. I wish i would've gotten a picture of the lobby because it had a unique design and had a dark vibe. For the price, this place went beyond our expectations. Also, there is a lot of parking around so it's free. If you cannot find parking, there is a parking garage that is $5 right beside the hotel. read more

We spent the weekend in Springfield and stayed at the Hotel Vandivort. It was a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend staying here. Its a nouve chic hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable. There was even a turntable and record albums in the room. I grew up with LP and 45 records and it was a walk down memory lane when I saw the turntable. There are 2 buildings where the rooms are...the main building and the 2nd building with 4 floors, plus the Vantage bar. We were in the 2nd building. On the first floor is a gym that is equipped to get a good workout in. We parked in the parking structure that was behind the main hotel and next to the 2nd building...soo convenient to get to our car. The parking was $5 a day. The location of the hotel is in downtown Springfield where there are tons of resturants and bars. I would definitely stay here again. read more

We had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel. The staff was very kind and quick to respond to needs. The rooms are spotless and well appointed. Valet service is timely and friendly.

This has become our favorite hotel along our route from Texas to Indiana. It is always warm and welcoming with a dash of elegance. The rooms, no matter if it's a regular room or a suite, are always super clean and well stocked. The walk-in showers provide adequate water pressure to wash off a days worth of driving. We love the turntable and records in every room. I don't think we've ever turned the TV, we usually just play a record and enjoy the music. Sometimes the record selection is a little thin, but occasionally you hit a home run like a Miles Davis jazz record that really compliments the entire hotel vibe. In addition to the hotel being absolutely top notch h I have to comment on the location. Located in downtown Springfield, Hotel Vandivort puts you in walking distance of some of the best fare the city has to offer. I'm sure during the school year the downtown area is popping but we usually travel during school breaks and it's a nice leisurely pace everywhere you go. Overall, I'd give the Hotel Vandivort six or seven stars if I could. The price point is in line with any other 4-5 star hotel in the area so you might as well pamper yourself a little with an elegant night. We will continue staying here every time we travel through the area. As an added bonus, we were told during our last stay they are about to update bedding throughout the hotel so look for more improvements to come. read more

I have stayed here 4 times it is beautiful, clean done art deco throughout! The sheets/pillows are ALWAYS something I remember. Unfortunately I forgot this year how bad the food is at The OrderWe had driven 10.5 hours and we were hungry, we didn't even get 1/2 our meals done before we both had to stop! I had blistering lips from the sodium and the chef's polenta was disgusting. So in a nut shellGREAT Hotel eat at Gaileys across the street/nice pizza place 2 doors down and a Pie Shop 2 blocks away. read more

Gothic glamour vibes at this super hip hotel in downtown Springfield. I loved the hotel decor, including the linens and record player. The bed was comfy, and the in-room coffee was good. I also enjoyed their lounge robes, and the cheeky 'do not disturb' signs. My only complaint is the size of the bathroom sink and the black out shades that don't block the light. In addition, their rooftop bar was cool, but I've had much better drinks elsewhere. The gym has pretty good equipment, but could use some yoga mats and better towels. Overall, cool hotel with great service. An enjoyable and unique experience. read more

I was visiting Springfield, MO for a work conference. I've never been to this city before and after searching for hotels, thought I'd give this one a try. Little did I know I'd have such a wonderful experience. I felt so welcomed from the moment I checked in, with great service throughout including drinks on the rooftop bar and lovely dinner downstairs. I even went back for breakfast this next morning. The room was beautifully decorated, large and quiet. Also loved the tv/channel selection when unwinding before bed. Really hope to have the opportunity to revisit this hotel again one day. Very LGBT friendly! read more

Very disappointed as the reviews were very good. I paid $75 for an upgrade to a "balcony suite'. When I checked in the suite had no balcony, did not look like the room in the upgrade email. Lighting was poor and the rooms were too dark. It was Friday and the band in the bar/lobby played till 1 AM making noise and keeping me awake. The curtains were translucent, not opaque, and city lights came through them making the room impossible to 'black out' at night. read more

Located in the downtown area, the Vandivort is a very chic and boutique hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very nice. Dinner was excellent at The Order downstairs...try the beef short ribs with bok choy. The rooftop lounge was terrific with as we listened to a band at the city square (one block away). Overall, a very nice stay. read more

Gorgeous location with amazing staff. It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown Springfield, MO with plenty that you can walk to and enjoy the area. The lobby is warm and welcoming with great lounge spots and solid WiFi to support your work / play needs. The secondary building also has a great lounge area on the first floor. Staff was consistently friendly and helpful. They checked us in without issue and answered a few questions periodically as we stopped up front to find out info around the area. I was also greeted by staff that would walk by while I was sitting in the lounge area. They have two dining options with Vantage Rooftop Bar and The Order. They were both excellent and a must try. Overall: A+ Great hotel to stay at while in the area. Plenty to offer and conveniently located in downtown. read more

We've stayed at this hotel a handful of times over the years, but it has been a while since we've been here. The downtown location is great. There are lots of bars, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance. It's also near Missouri State University. It also looks nice - it's in an old building and the inside is pretty cool. This wasn't my favorite stay. The staff used to be so attentive and I feel that it wasn't that way this visit. The majority of the staff we interacted with were just doing their jobs. They weren't friendly or pleasant. They weren't unpleasant - just there doing their jobs. The valet guys were friendly, but that did not extend to the front desk. Some outlets in our room didn't work. A few lamps didn't work. The toilet room floor could use a scrubbing. We used their valet service. Someone put our car keys where they didn't belong and we waited for half an hour before they were eventually located. Upon checkout, it was all business. No smiles or "how was your stay", etc. So why four stars instead of three? It is a cool place! The location is great and as far as I know, it's the nicest hotel in Springfield. They just need to take better care of the rooms and go back to being a friendly staff. read more

I don't recommend this hotel if you are traveling on business or you like your quiet time. This is especially true if you stay in the second building, that is not attached to the main hotel. Which is a whole other thing. Once I checked into my room (which was in the aforementioned second building) I was greeted by a child running back and forth in the room above mine. And I don't mean just a few times - as any sane parent would try to distract the child with something that was a bit more quiet and sedated as common sense would tell you, you are not the only ones staying in the hotel - and don't come after me about children and they need to be able to spread their wings or get out their energy...blah blah blah. There is a time and place for everything. And a bougie and expensive hotel (for Springfield) it is not...Period! So after the child finally must have tired their self out, the music started. And it was the music from the hotel's rooftop bar. And it was a nice bar - I just wasn't looking to take the party down to my room afterwards. And not only were the people in the bar having a good time - but so were the drug users hanging out in the parking garage right next to the hotel. Once the bar closed around 11 or so, I thought I was going to be able to get some sleep - little did I know that was when the drag racing began outside. So I finally fall asleep and I am sleeping in (9 a.m.) since I have a late afternoon flight home, when the child begins his calisthenics again! And it is constant! I had had enough! I called the front desk and whomever answered said that she would discuss it with him manager. Ok, I figured it would stop. But NOOOOO....the parents and the child must have considered it a challenge at that point and it continued and not just the running, but now the child was running and was finishing each run with what can only be described as the baby Olympics Long Jump. Over and over and over until I couldn't take it anymore and screamed at the top of my lungs. And then nothing - no child, no one checking if the woman who had just screamed like she was being attacked was ok, nothing. A little time later, I showered, packed up and left for the airport. From now on, I will be staying at a Courtyard or Holiday Inn express. Oh, and second building. Having multiple buildings for your hotel is fine, as long as I don't have to go between the buildings down a back alley where it looks like I am going to meet my confidential informant. read more

I come to the area often on business and was excited to try out Vandivort. I've stayed here twice now and I'm over it, I will gladly return to the Fairfield. While the lobby is beautiful and I appreciate the concept, the hotel lacks practicality. Both rooms I stayed in were just odd with very small windows. This time I was put in an "atrium" room which might as well be called a dungeon, it's in the basement. One side is a huge loft with teeny tiny windows at the top and you can pretty much hear everything going on through them. The light switches are fussy, they work sometimes but most of the time I had to stand there and push them over and over. The fire alarm went off when I was taking a shower which is what happens when you put a bathroom in a basement with no fan I guess? Not sure. I'm a foodie and really wanted to like it here to enjoy the room service after a long day of work. Honestly the restaurant is not good. Again, appreciate the concept, but it tries to be something it isn't. The menu ends up being pretentious and the flavors just don't hit. This hotel is by no means a dump but it just doesn't do it for me for the price. read more

We LOVED staying at Hotel Vandivort! We were there the weekend before Christmas of 2021. We had a wedding to attend that Saturday night close to Springfield and many in the wedding party were staying at the Hotel Vandivort. We stayed in the original building. Our cousins stayed in the newer building. Both rooms were great! Our cousins even had an old record player that worked in their room. We liked being in the original building with the hotel lobby restaurant downstairs. Friday night we had rented (we scheduled this a month in advance) an igloo on the rooftop bar of Vantage (their building next door) and that was so much fun. The drinks and appetizers were great. Then had dinner in the hotel lobby restaurant, The Order. Wonderful food too! It was nice to not have to drive anywhere as it was cold and rainy Friday night. Love the location of Hotel Vandivort, it was fun to walk around downtown. Saturday morning we had breakfast across the street and then I walked around and shopped at the local stores downtown. My husband and cousins hung out in the hotel lobby bar and the bartender Jess made them great drinks and gave them samples of the upcoming winter drink menu. A great time was had by all. Then for lunch we walked over to Casper's for burgers, (see my review on that one). The people that worked at Hotel Vandivort were helpful and friendly. Super welcoming atmosphere. Loved how it was decorated for Christmas. We so enjoyed hanging out there all weekend and would definitely stay there again! Oh the bride's parents stayed next door to us, they had a huge room (forgot what it was called) on the 4th floor and it was perfect for entertaining a crowd! read more

Worst hotel experience ever. Dirty floors and stains in the shower. Beds had black marks on them also. When we brought this matter to the manager was told they had no other rooms and we could, "take it or leave it". We obviously left it and will never be back. read more

Words for this stay. Swanky and Chic. The decor is beautiful and the rooms are very art deco and modern. Check in was fast. Disappointing to find out that the roof top bar was closed on Sunday. The gym was well equipped , towels , sani wipes and water. There are two buildings. We were in the back building, in the Explorer Suite. The room made up for the horrible view of the parking garage and alley . A nice sitting area, 55 inch TV, mini bar area with a small fridge and microwave.. Have to say the complimentary toiletries were the best smelling of any hotel we've stayed at, even the Hyatt. We didn't eat on site at The Order, but we did have a couple of drinks which were made well. The odds coming back to Springfield aren't good , but would definitely stay here at the hotel and would recommend to others. It's a great hotel for a romantic getaway. read more

Me and my husband stayed in the new building for a night. We stayed on the fourth floor all we heard was partying all night. People running through our halls screaming up until 3am. On top of that there is never staff in the building (like at all) so it's a free for all. Second, you have to pay $5 for the parking garage every time you park your car. Or you can pay extra for valet parking. You also have to walk through a sketchy alley way to get to the main building. Our room wasn't very clean either. Looked like the sink hadn't been cleaned off from the previous people, our lamps, table, and complimentary water bottles were all super dusty. Last complaint is I am 7 month pregnant and I'm pretty sure I could've slept on the floor more comfortably. The bed was super firm and the pillows were thin as paper. I wouldn't typically make all of these complaints but it cost over $300 to stay one night. I would definitely look around for cheaper hotels in a better area of Springfield. read more

My husband and I stayed here for three days. It's beautiful and located close to all the best restaurants in town. The valet staff was delightfully friendly (and we didn't even use their services) as was the gentleman who brought us extra coffee pods and creamer at the asscrack of dawn before our flight. The rest of the staff was cold and uninterested in us. Unfortunately, it's insanely loud outside in the late evenings. Each night it sounded like people were drag racing up and down the streets; we were kept awake by the sound of tires squealing and engines revving. While this is not directly the hotel's fault, it will 100% stop me from booking there again. There is a small free parking lot across the street, but we weren't always able to get a spot there, meaning we either had to pay to park around the corner or risk getting a ticket on the street. For the price of a nightly stay, it was odd to not have free and reserved parking for guests. Our room was clean and tidy, and while we felt the bed was uncomfortably firm, I know that's a personal preference kind of thing. After our stay we both needed massages, though. read more

This is a super swanky modern hotel! Love the room decor, and we found our double queen room very spacious. So my hubby ordered an amazing cocktail: the Smoked Old Fashioned - $11. It's made to Hollywood standards.

I went to Vantage a week ago with friends while visiting from out of town. The space is so swanky, the view is awesome and the drinks are top notch. HOWEVER My credit card number was stolen from using it at Vantage. The charges occurred shortly after using my card here, so I know it was stolen here. One of the friends I went with never had his card returned to him after paying his tab. When he went up to get his card from our server it he been sliced on the top. The server gave him a run around excuse "it got caught in the door" and "I thought you were going to stiff me" were two of the lame excuses the server gave. Vantage *definitely* has some bad apples among its staff. It hurts to leave this review because the space is awesome and the drinks were great!! If you're going to go... USE CASH!! read more

So if you're anyone who's anyone in Springfield, Missouri you know about the selfie mirror at Hotel V. I was skeptical, and I was proven complete wrong. I had been a awake since 3am and obviously have no makeup on, and the photo attached has some of the best lighting I've ever experienced. For you folks that give zero f's about selfies, I only tried the cocktails... they were amazing works of art. Each one I tried: wanderlust, Bollywood, old fashioned, sgt pepper, and it's got a la croix in it; were absolutely delicious. They change their menu regularly and have new creations each week with their weekly feature. Overall, the atmosphere was pretty comfortable even though the hotel is considered high end in Springfield. My hubby had on shorts and a T-shirt and fit right in (mind you it was nice shorts and a nice T-shirt). I would definitely love to try the food and the hotel at some point! What I liked the most is the atmosphere says get this cocktail for $20, and yet they were $9-12, perfect for my budget! I sadly didn't get the waitress's name, but she explained the smoked old fashioned with beauty and made all three of the men in my group get it without looking at the menu, and they loved it.

It has been quite some time since I have been THIS in love with a hotel. And I am no stranger to upscale stays. Check-in was a breeze, or at least it looked like it from where I was sitting in the lovely lounge area while the other half checked in. Within minutes, and with a complimentary chocolate in hand, we were on our way up to our room. Lights were on, music was playing from the speakers in the ceiling, and the space was very nicely decorated. Felt like it was maybe too good to be true and the bed was going to be uncomfortable or the shower have terrible pressure, but it really was all utterly perfect. There was even a touch of nerdiness that I absolutely loved, with the assortment of do-not-disturb door hangers. The first night we were worried about it being Friday and the bars in the area being loud, but no issues. The second night we went down to the hotel bar, The Order, and had delicious crafted cocktails with our bowler-hat enthusiast bartender. He even stowed a beanie we left behind which we returned for the next day after checking out. Throw in that we used the HotelTonight app to book our stay, costing something around $125 a night if I remember correctly, and you have officially blown my mind with this hotel. Truly impressed with the accommodations and staff, and will definitely have friends and family stay here when the need arises. read more

I reserved the master suite for my wedding day this last weekend and unfortunately several major things went wrong. I called ahead of time and asked if I could have my wedding dress steamed prior to the ceremony, and was told that they do not offer someone to steam my dress but they had a steamer they could send up to the suite so I could do it myself. Totally fine, but the day of durin in they said they do not have a steamer. The gal told me there should be an iron in the suite though. So I find that and it's broken and leaked water everywhere. Then we realize that one of the couches legs was broken and so the couch was completely lopsided. I politely let the person know at the front desk all of these issues, but was never offered any reconciliation. Considering how much money it costs, I really expected more. read more
