When in the capital city of Arkansas, savor the scene at none other than Capital Hotel.
This Southern-inspired spot is also known as Little Rock’s “front porch,”and exquisite Southern hospitality is a guarantee when staying here (especially with the opulent rooms and 24-hour room service). Speaking of staying at the Capital Hotel, you should probably know that President Alexander Grant also caught 40 winks at the Capital back in 1876, so you will be in good company as a guest.
The Capital received a multi-million dollar facelift in 2007, updating the historic site to have the ease and comfort of a modern luxury hotel. But the feeling of familiarity is not lost in this stunning hotel—stained glass skylights, mosaic tile floors, and marble columns make the atmosphere warm yet elegant, an ideal setting for a getaway in the true South.
When hunger strikes, you don’t have to mosey too far for a five-star meal. One Eleven, the Capital Hotel’s on-site restaurant, is a contemporary bistro-style restaurant with a focus on—you guessed it—Southern fare. Led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Joël Antunes, One Eleven promises delight from cocktail to dessert and everything in between. Of course, you can always catch a few drinks after dinner at the Capital’s Bar & Grill for a night cap.
As downtown Little Rock’s “Great Dame,” Capital Hotel offers everything you could ask for in a destination—comfort, aesthetic, and flavorful food, plus a historic past that’s one-of-a-kind.
