The Hotel Phillips, is a historic 217-room hotel located on 12th Street in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, opened in 1931. The site was formerly occupied by the Glennon Hotel, in which Harry S. Truman operated a haberdashery shop. That hotel was demolished, and the Phillips was constructed at a cost of $1.6 million, opening in February 1931. The 450-room hotel was the tallest in Kansas City, at 20 stories. The Phillips was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
