The Empress

Our multi-award winning Arkansas accommodations and event facility were lovingly restored in 1995 to capture the essence of a romantic time while updating the property to meet the needs of today’s travelers, business guests, and brides.  Named the #4 Most Romantic in the United States, this boutique specializes in taking your breath away.  From the moment you enter the foyer of the Grand Sitting Parlor, to relaxing in the hammock in the Moonlight Secret Garden, listening to the gurgle of the vintage quartz fountain, this is a stay you’ll remember!

Home to Arkansas’ only SPA Suites sporting hydro-massage showers with steam and aromatherapy and double jacuzzis, each luxurious guest room/suite at The Empress conveys romance and nostalgia with meticulous detail while offering the utmost in privacy and amenities.  Breakfast beckons you to leisurely dining served from the verandah or the formal dining room, resplendent with silver service and unrushed conversation where true Southern hospitality is served, along with English crumpets. Queen Victoria would have nodded her approval!

The Empress of Little Rock is also the perfect gathering place for business meetings and retreats, parties, and beautiful indoor and outdoor destination weddings. Wifi, conference space for 30 attendees, and corporate business rates make it the natural choice for your next meeting.

Whether your visit is for total relaxation, a business retreat, or the wedding of your dreams, your visit will be one that fills you with life long memories, southern hospitality, and complete rejuvenation.

We look forward to welcoming you in person.

Your hosts, Bob & Sharon
