Capital Hotel

$$$$ | 111 W. Markham St., Little Rock, AR, 72201, USA Fodor's Choice

Near the Old State House museum in the heart of Little Rock, the Capital is appropriately dubbed the "Front Porch of Little Rock" because of the staff's commitment to authentic Southern hospitality—arriving here feels more like being welcomed into someone's home than checking into a corporate-owned hotel. The former office building was converted to a hotel in 1876 after a fire had destroyed much of downtown. Now complemented with modern conveniences and contemporary amenities (including a $2 million kitchen) it expresses the New South while still honoring its legacy as a haven for weary travelers, a ballroom for debutantes and brides, an office for multimillion-dollar business deals, and a stage for national political drama.

Pros

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi and business center
  • The city's only secured on-site valet parking
  • Two on-site restaurants

Cons

  • Room configurations may vary
  • No in-room coffeemaker

The Empress Bed & Breakfast

$$$ | 2120 S. Louisiana St., Little Rock, AR, 72206, USA

Think Downton Abbey when you enter the grand parlor of this graciously restored Victorian home, which is especially popular for romantic getaways, including honeymoons. Even though it's in the middle of a Little Rock neighborhood, it feels light-years away from the ordinary, with doting hospitality included in special packages—champagne and chocolates, a carriage ride, and even an optional breakfast in bed. If you prefer to share candlelit breakfast in the dining room, expect a multicourse array of house-made delicacies like cream of apple soup and cheese strata. On Sunday, guests and nonguests alike can make reservations for high tea at 2 ($40 each; slightly more during holidays).

Pros

  • Free Wi-Fi
  • IPad and iPhone docking stations
  • Corporate rates available during the week for business travelers

Cons

  • No elevator
  • Only one ground-floor room in the carriage house, which is not wheelchair accessible
