The Capital Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas
With palatial accommodations steeped in Southern tradition, the Capital Hotel has earned its renown as "the front porch of Little Rock." Its grand opening in 1870 was indeed grand, with the first electric light fixture installed in a hotel in the South and an elevator massive enough to carry a horse. Since then, this Arkansas institution, a Preferred Boutique property, part of the Preferred Hotel Group, has served as both a welcome respite with luxurious rooms and delectable cuisine and a doorway to the illustrious historic monuments and dynamic contemporary culture of the region for business and leisure travelers alike. Ninety-four lavish rooms, including 15 semi-suites and four suites, envelope guests with designer linens, free Wi-Fi and, from most windows, expansive views of downtown Little Rock. Dine on-site in the elegant Ashley's restaurant or socialize with the city's movers and shakers at the Capital Bar and Grill. Both feature Chef Lee Richardson's "New Americana Cuisine," menus handcrafted from local and seasonal ingredients with cutting-edge techniques.
Just steps from key business venues, including the Statehouse Convention Center, and vital local landmarks, such as the Clinton Library, the Arkansas Arts Center and the Historic Arkansas Museum, The Capital is a hub for visitors seeking the ultimate Little Rock experience. Posh boutiques and eclectic eateries can be found just outside the door, and River Market, the city's vibrant entertainment destination, is a pleasant walk down Markham Street. Visit the Downtown Fitness Center right across the street from The Capital for a rejuvenating workout—admission is complimentary to hotel patrons. Active guests will also find plenty of adventure in the outdoors, from golf and tennis to hiking, fishing, hunting and kayaking - the concierge at The Capital will be happy to arrange half- to full-day excursions. Whether business or pleasure brings you to the city, the "Grand Dame" of downtown Little Rock is a "capital" headquarters for your stay.

Reviews for The Capital Hotel
This grand hotel has a staff equally as grand. I loved this elegant hotel and how I was treated like Royalty. I was greeted at the valet station by the concierge and escorted to my beautiful super clean room. I ate dinner at the hotel's grill and it was very good and the service was great! I was just passing through Little Rock but I may actually travel back just to stay at the Capital Hotel! I highly recommend it!

This hotel prides itself on customer service--frankly the best I've ever received stateside and internationally. The decor is regal and elegant yet comfortable. They offer a driving service if you need a ride anywhere around town. The concierge will make recommendations and the reservations to local venders for you. This is our second visit at this hotel and when in Little Rock, it's our first choice.

This is my second stay at the Capital Hotel, both for business meetings. Everything about the Capital is first class. Outstanding service, accommodations, and food! In my book, the Capital sets the standard. The rooms are spacious and smartly furnished. The people know how to take care of you and don't miss an opportunity to do so. And everyone should have the chance to experience a meal at the Capital Hotel.

We were warmly greeted by the valet and concierge. Instead of checking us in at the front desk, the concierge walked us to our room and checked us in there. She told us a bit about the history of the hotel and was very friendly. We were looking for a restaurant for dinner and she recommended the restaurants in the hotel. We ate at One Eleven and it was delicious. Overall, a great hotel. Beautiful is an understatement when describing the lobby. Our room was so comfortable and luxurious. I would highly recommend The Capital Hotel!

I have stayed at the Capital Hotel many times over the past three years. It is consistently among the nicest, best staffed and best managed hotel in the US. They have gone out of their way every time to make my stay perfect in every way. From the airport pickup by Billy to breakfast served by Eizel it is an amazing place to relax and conduct business in Little Rock. It is rare to find a gem like the Capital Hotel.
