Best Hotels in Arkansas

The New Orleans Hotel's 1890s furniture and decor will delight visitors in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Boasting views of the downtown streets, this inn is within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops that this small Ozark town has to offer. Built in the late 19th century, the property features well-preserved woodwork and carpeting, as well as an exterior reminiscent of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. Period antiques fill the rooms, and accommodations all have balcony access. Rooms also include flat-screen TVs, in-room coffee service and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Though this property lacks amenities such as a fitness center, an elevator, a restaurant or a pool, it makes up for its shortcomings with a knowledgeable staff, guests say. You can rely on the hotel's personnel to make dinner reservations and recommend popular nearby attractions, such as the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and the Blue Springs Heritage Center. Free parking is available across the street, and the New Orleans Hotel provides a complimentary continental breakfast each morning.

Recent guests said The Chancellor Hotel is one of the best (and only) upscale options in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Situated less than a mile southeast of the University of Arkansas campus, the hotel is within walking distance of multiple boutiques and Fayetteville's historic square. Most travelers were satisfied with their experience at The Chancellor, although some were disappointed with the high prices and average food quality at the on-site 6494 Bistro & Lounge. Some reviewers also felt room rates were high for the location. Still, lodgers describe accommodations as spacious and well-equipped thanks to amenities like flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access and pillow-top mattresses. Guests were equally pleased with the other on-site amenities, including an indoor-outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, ample meeting space and a full-service business center. 

The Little Rock Marriott is a convenient choice for business and leisure travelers alike. The hotel is packed with work-friendly amenities, including complimentary high-speed Internet, messenger and package services and ample meeting space. And the property's location across the street from Old State House Museum in downtown Little Rock, makes this Marriott a good home base for sightseers. When you're not pounding the pavement, blow off some steam at the hotel fitness center (or soak some up in the sauna) before grabbing a bite to eat at the hotel's steakhouse restaurant, Heritage Grille Steak and Fin. And though some recent visitors view the valet-only parking as a slight drawback, most visitors are quick to praise the hotel's updated accomodations and friendly employees. Keep in mind that Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points by staying here.
