Best Family Hotels in Arkansas

Visitors agree that the Capital Hotel is Southern hospitality at its best. The property's stellar service thoroughly impressed recent travelers, and its on-site eateries didn't disappoint either. One Eleven at the Capital and the Capital Bar & Grill feature traditional Southern recipes and exhaustive wine lists. What's more, the property's 94 rooms offer luxurious Frette linens, Molton Brown bath amenities and flat-screen TVs. And if you're looking to get your heart pumping while on vacation, the hotel offers complimentary access to the Downtown Fitness Center right across the street. When it comes time to sightsee, you'll like that this hotel's downtown location places it close to the Arkansas State Capitol and the William J. Clinton Presidential Library & Museum. Plus, since it's a member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts brand, the hotel allows guests to earn or use I Prefer rewards.

Though they may be disappointed by the lack of a swimming pool, kids will love the stout superhero guarding the workout machines in the fitness center. Book the property’s Kid’s Exploration Package, and kids will receive an iSpy guide to the hotel’s art museum, milk and cookies and admission to the Scott Family Amazeum — a hands-on science and learning center for children and families, just over a mile walk from the hotel.

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.
