Characterised by vast waves of wheat swaying in the breeze, the Great Plains state of Kansas is famously flat — and looms large in the popular imagination as a land of yellow brick roads and tornados. This striking Midwestern destination is, in fact, home to artsy cities, beautiful landscapes and a rich — if turbulent — history. Great for guests of all ages, the state boasts an array of accommodation options, including everything from simple cattle ranch cabins to swish city hotels, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. Whilst many of the best places to stay in Kansas sit within the lively cities of Topeka and Wichita, some of our favourite hideaways are tucked away in altogether more rural locations.
