Beautiful historic hotel in downtown Little Rock! This hotel is beautiful 19th century architecture and finishes, history is on display from the exterior to the furnishings in the rooms. The story of the hotel's elevator is of a custom-built, massive enough for General/ president Ulysses S. Grant to ride up to his room on his horse! The interior of the elevator is massive, and in my mind could fit a horse, so I'm choosing to believe the story! ;-) This was a beautiful hotel, very clean. Staff was always friendly and attentive. Lots of options for food and beverages on site and it's centrally located. It's a must stop if you're ever in Little Rock. Tip- stop by the restaurants on site for delicious food and beverage. - complimentary coffee and water in the lobby! read more

The most hospitable and luxurious hotel in Little Rock! An amazing staff who were so attentive and a lovely restaurant for a spa like breakfast. Beautiful, comfortable and quiet room. Honestly the only problem was the neighborhood which is sketchy to say the least. But if you are in Little Rock this is the best place to stay. Whoever was working there during our stay deserves kudos for their warmth and helpfulness - front desk, valet, housekeeping. You all were great!. This was 5 star all the way! Wish hotels in California had this dedication. read more

Capital Hotel - Gorgeous avo toast breakfast option! - Hotels Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

The rooms are beautiful but the amenities have become lacking. I have been coming here for years and when you walk in the room, there were bottles of water and a little container of spiced nuts. The rooms are still gorgeous but when you walk in, there is no water, you have to ask for everything, the wait is long, and there is no feeling special. It has become very corporate and lacking in service and charm. read more

In the early evening house of Monday April 28th 2025. We received a knock on are door and where handed a written notice of water maintenance that was going to be done at 12am to 4am. The notice had the incorrect date on it as it should have read Tuesday from 12am. Not Monday. The front desk should have made us aware of this before we checked in but they did not. Instead they told us later in the early evening. With the note they gave us a bottle of warm water. For the price of a nights stay it was all about the money and not there guests. read more

The staff is great, both in the hotel and the restaurant. But o how nice it must be to be a billionaire and ask mommy and daddy to strip your gorgeous art-deco hotel of any personality and paint it white for your wedding. Which they did, and now the hotel has no personality. One of the owner's also recently overheard a staff member speaking in a less than enthusiastic way about a current political leader (to a trusted colleague, not just bringing politics into the workplace) and they had him fired. The hotel used to be a Little Rock staple, but now it's just a playground for a select few. read more

A very stunningly beautiful with French Revival architecture on the interior. Located right off of the main strip. Perfect for people who want to be in the mix of things. Little Rock is one of the most understated happening places that I've seen. Extremely friendly customer service. Fresh food. Free parking and a very Lively feel. read more

My lovely bride and I stayed here over a long weekend to see the solar eclipse. This is a beautiful hotel, solidly built in 1876, with plenty of history and exquisite details, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two good restaurants, excellent service, great location. Highly recommended. read more

We've stayed at this beautiful Little Rock hotel over the years. They are currently doing a property "refresh" so our beloved "One Eleven"' restaurant was closed for dinner when we arrived. Our standard room was, as usual, well appointed, meticulously clean and comfortable. The bath toiletries were a cut above as well. For evening turn-down service we were handed bottled water. The second floor included a lovely terrace that we used while waiting for our meal reservation elsewhere. Check out the guest elevator too. It's the biggest I've ever seen! Valet parking is $30 / day and we found the service fast. If the main restaurant ever reopens for evening meals, we will be certain to return for a hotel stay. read more

Charming old hotel located in downtown Little Rock. Love the ornate old details of this place. The marble pillars, extra large elevators that carried horses many years ago, etc. All hotel employees were very friendly and attentive. I couldn't get over how well housekeeping kept the rooms. The provided extra supplies without even having to ask and lined everything up from our shoes on the floor to toiletries on the counter. I wish my own cleaning lady was this spectacular! The rooms were very generous in size. The bed linens and towels were also great - my mom had raved about this and i thought she was crazy. I left our stay wanting their towels! The hotel does offer valet which is convenient. Parking is $30 a day here. If you are wanting to dine the restaurant one eleven in the hotel provides a delicious fresh breakfast and brunch -- if only t they were open for dinner! read more

I have stayed here many times in the last 40 years and always leave impressed with The Capital. The rooms are very comfortable and finely decorated. The Bar and Restaurant are the best in town. The service is always impeccable. And a great location in the heart of Little Rock. read more

Yesterday, 24 May 2022 I had the best breakfast and it really wasn't the food as much as it was the Service. Kaitlyn provided exceptional service. Kaitlyn was so I attentive to everything required and her understanding of the hotel history was outstanding which made for great conversation not just the typical "what would you like" service. She is a must keep and should be promoted to a position of more responsibility. Great food and service for my morning breakfast. Thanks Kaitlyn!! read more

Capital Hotel - The Capital Hotel. waitress Kaitlyn provided exceptional service. She understood the hotel from front to back a true historian. - Hotels Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

If you have loads of time to kill then get straight to the breakfast restaurant. The decor and ambience is top notch so there's no where better to sit and wonder when a server will show up. It's very tricky cause there are staff running around looking busy but those ones can't take your order. Sorry. The food (once you've ordered) is very good. They've thought of it all here and have built in a healthy digesting period but that only starts when you get their attention and ask for the bill. It won't come automatically cause there's no rushing around in this establishment. They've had zero accidents caused by people hustling. read more

The Capital Hotel is a wonderful historical landmark. The jr suites are large and have a classic yet modern aesthetic. The food from the hotel bars is great. I would stay here again. read more

This hotel is elegant, regal and classic. Since my first and only stay here was during the holiday season, it was decked to the max, like something out of a Christmas movie. The lobby and common areas are grand and the hotel rooms are traditional, clean and inviting. (And the pecan brittle that was wrapped and waiting for me on my bed was a welcoming touch!) Since my trip was a quick one, I didn't really get to experience the bar and restaurants on the main level but was pleased to see that I could grab a beverage of the caffeinated variety downstairs any time I needed one. If you're thinking about staying here, I'd check the rates at different times because there seems to be some significant range depending on when you look at it. When booking for myself, I found a rate around $200 a night, went back a few days later it was up to high $300s and when I checked again a few days later it was back to around $200 a night once again (all for the same date.) But if you do end up staying here, I'm pretty confident you'll be satisfied with your decision. It's class all the way. read more

This is the best hotel in Little Rock! I just wish it wasn't so far away from home or else I would come here just for the hotel. First off, the customer service is outstanding! You don't have to wait for a long check in as they have everything ready for you at the front desk and at times walk you to your room. My favorite people are: Kerin at concierge, Brittany at Ashley's, Karen at the front desk and Jerry. They are always so nice and helpful. Kerin always see my kids running around during the day like the hotel is a big playground & is super sweet to them. They love her! Jerry referred us to great restaurants in the area where we met some really nice people. As far as the room goes, I love that the water turns hot pretty quickly. The amenities are Molton Brown and smell nice. The bed is comfortable and turn down service is a must - you get pecan toffee & bottled water! Yummy! Both restaurants in the hotel are nice. Ashley's for breakfast/lunch has my favorite lady, Brittany working there. She's very welcoming & super nice. Thanks for the great customer service & making us feel at home. read more

The Capital is an exquisite classic hotel the perfect balance of dark work and white marble. Home to the best hotel service in town... The staff here are pros among pros! Two restaurants and classic Bar in the grill and a more modern version across the hall. The only downside is inescapable but well tolerable in the fact that the rooms are small... Makes sense, they're old, but not that old or small, it's just not the norm people are used. Staying here is always a highlight! read more

If I ever return to Little Rock, I will definitely stay here. This is an absolutely beautiful, historic hotel. The rooms were a nice size. I was in a queen room and there was plenty of space to sit; a large closet; and a sizeable bathroom. The room was clean and immaculate everyday. The bathroom tile was white and it shined. I was here as part of a conference so we had the hotel's catered food. It was great. Since we ate catered food, I ventured out from the hotel for meals that were not provided as part of the conference. I did have some drinks at both bars and they were great. You may not get all the typical "amenities" since this is a historic building. There is a gym you can use across the street. I heard it was very nice, but I never personally ventured there. Another thing people might think is "missing" from this place is a pool. Most of the time I am in a new city, I am out exploring, not sitting by the pool, so I didn't miss it. The hotel is near lots of "stuff" to do downtown. Most "stuff " is in walking distance so the location worked for our group since it was easy to walk to restaurants and bars a few blocks away. Most importantly, they had Molton Brown bath products and they were not stingy about refilling them! read more

Cool old historic hotel. Great location. The bar is very proud of their wine list. More affirdable wines would be nice offer.

We've been guests at the Capital several times over the years. After living on the west coast for two years, I wondered if the standards had slipped at our Little Rock treasure. My stay couldn't have been better. Everyone and everything was the finest imaginable. Eat at the One Eleven restaurant as many times as you can manage for food and drinks prepared to perfection. read more

Five star hotel and service! I enjoyed the old school luxury and personal service at the Capital Hotel. For one I'm a history buff and I love old buildings - the Capital offers both. Though it has all the modern amenities, the Capital has traditional decor and styling. Some of the perks you get are valet parking, personal service to your room, bathrobes and slippers in your room, upgraded bath supplies, and turndown service. My favorite part was the turndown service with the pecan toffee! Aside from being an awesome hotel, the Capital is located at the perfect location near the Little Rock river walk, restaurants and shops. And you can walk to the Clinton Presidential Library. We actually ate most of our meals at the restaurants within the Capital, as they have two. Excellent service at their bar and grill, and upscale breakfast at the One Eleven restaurant. Now the Capital Hotel is not for the budget conscious! It is quite pricey but it's definitely a special treat. So if you can, go ahead and Treat Yo 'self with a stay at the Capital Hotel! read more

The Capital Hotel provides the ideal, I might even say "dream," hotel experience. I would definitely stay here when I have the opportunity and have every confidence in recommending them to anyone. My husband and I stayed here one night for our anniversary recently (we only live 30 minutes away), and we dined at Ashley's as part of our celebration. I was amazed and delighted at the level of service from the second we arrived until we left. When we arrived, we walked into the lobby, and the manager had a folio in his hand for our check in. He took us right up to the room and checked us in there (no waiting awkwardly at a check-in desk for service). I had booked our room online, and in the notes mode on the reservation, I wrote that we were celebrating our anniversary. The manager knew this and congratulated us, even noting the year. I reserved the least expensive room they had listed for $180 per night, which was a Queen standard, or something like that, but I wondered if they had upgraded us, because it seemed we had a King standard room. Also, they had white wine chilling for us in the room, and had a bowl of their amazing pecans, too! IN ADDITION, they had written us a card to celebrate our anniversary and wished us well. It was really astounding. The rooms are simply beautiful and very elegantly appointed. Every last detail is thought of. Yes, the bathrooms aren't huge, but they are lovely and big enough, and have the little amenities that make it easy to get ready. The closet is big enough to put your bag on the luggage stand, and the light turns itself on and off. There are robes and complimentary slippers. We had a lovely dinner, and after the wine pairings, I was glad we were staying over. I slept wonderfully in the comfortable bed. In the morning, we decided to go ahead and eat breakfast at Ashley's as well. We weren't very hungry, but I had a delightful cappuccino and a croissant and perfect soft-boiled egg. My husband had his beloved Cheerios. (He was so happy to see those on the menu!) We decided to check out and leave our bags with the bell station so we could zip across the street and pick up our race packets for the Little Rock half-marathon. The woman at the bell station was incredibly friendly and helpful and stored them for us for a little while. When we returned and picked up our car from valet parking (free if you're dining or drinking there, $18 if you're staying there), she gave us little Capital Hotel waters to take with us and made sure we had everything we needed as we left. From beginning to end, a wonderful, wonderful experience. The Capital Hotel sets the standard for hospitality! read more

I have traveled all over the world, and this is hands down one of the finest hotels in the world. Sure there are great hotels that are uniquely appointed with fine antiques and grand trim and marble but do any of them offer what most consider to be true hospitality and that being 'Southern warmth and charm?' Not many if any. Many places outside of the South can't extend that type of service. Why? Simply because they are not in the South. There is something about the warm evenings and the feel of the air that makes even the most tired traveler joyful to be in the South. There are many grand hotels in New Orleans and one in Memphis but none offer the Southern Grace as The Capital. I could go on for paragraphs about how beautiful this place is but sometimes it is just best to let the building speak for itself. This hotel has history that makes for great conversation at the dinner table. Rumor has it that President U.S. Grant rode his horse up the stairs and had his horse stay in the room with him shortly after the hotel opened. Also, the elevator is one of the largest in the world and can hold close to 10,000 pounds. They, meaning 'rumorists' (I just made that word up) also say that it held the entire Arkansas state legislature once. I wonder if they argued as to which floor they were going to? "Let's go to the 3rd floor." One suggests. "No, I disagree, how about the 5th floor. The view is better up there." His opposing member replies. "Yes but we are in an elevator that has no windows' he replied as he hit the number 3 button. "Good point. Where is my drink?" Aww if it were only that simple. Anyway, if you are visiting Little Rock for any reason, then this is the only hotel that you should consider. If you are a local, I suggest that you make time for your loved one and take them here for a special night that you will talk about for the rest of your life. The Capital is simply elegant with Southern Hospitality as its engine. read more

I am visiting Little Rock on business. I was told by the Tourist Baord that the Capital Hotel was the best. I founf the hotel staff engaging and lovely but please4 replace the bar staff. The bartender left me siiting there for 10 minutes (there was only 2 other people in the place). After my wine was served; a friend ot the bartender walked in and sat down...she proceeded to yell...yes, yell...across the bar and half the restaurant carrying on a 'conversation' yelling to her friend. I finished my wine and sat ,even after I asked for the check , for another 10 minutes while the bartender and waitress chatted about thier personal lives. At one point, I left the bar and carried on an extended conversation with the Front Desk about local sights (the bartender didn't even notice I was gone). The Front Desk was delightful, personable and very helpful. They should train the bart staff. read more

Went for business, might have to return for pleasure... Staff: Staff here was second to none, from the doormen greeting you as you enter, the bellhop stand with complimentary waters and the very friendly front desk. Rooms: I stayed in likely their most economical room but even so it was well appointed with everything one needed, Flat Screen TV, Comfy Queen Sized Bed, Charging Valet for all your electronics, desk, chairs and armchair. The Bathroom also stayed inline with the decor and was even appointed with Molten Brown travel products. The Hotel itself is grand from the entrance, main lobby to the stairs which flow up to the guest rooms. There is a bar attached to the hotel which feels about as classy as one would want a bar to be and was well populated on the Thursday evening I was around. If you get a chance to stay, also make sure to check out their Balcony with a beverage to enjoy the evening. read more

I grew up in Little Rock (I remember rand have stayed at the Capital Hotel several times but this weekend was terrible! Our room (#308) was directly above the second floor where a band was playing for a wedding reception. The reception wasn't supposed to end until11pm. (It is after 10pm). The music was louder in our room than in the lobby. And the hotel said they had no other rooms available. I will not stay here again. read more

You had me at "Hello." Oh, and the part when you said, "I can see you are celebrating, may I bring some cocktails up to your room?" Yea...that part was effing wonderful too. Over the years, I have spent many nights this hotel. And, I truly love it. If you want a historic and classy experience. Look no further. Because, trust me. It is a waste of time. This is your guy. It is gorgeous and clean! The food is amazing! The employees are thoughtful, kind and friendly! The hotel drivers even schlepped us around in the wee hours of the am. Then, after waking up in not the not so best of conditions, they extended our check out to 1:00 (thank you. no really, thank you!!!) In any other city, they could easily get away with charging $400 plus on a room. It IS Little Rock... so their rooms start around $170. The hotel bar is fab too. Black painted wood, dark, sexy, moody, candlelit. They even serve Cristal, Yes.... you actually CAN find me in da club, bottle full of bub. read more

My cousin stayed here on her honeymoon night, and rented it out the night before for her bridesmaids to get ready and the groomsmen to get ready.The groomsmen stayed here the night before with the groom. They were raving about how comfortable the suite was. (#246-248) It was massive, and very turn of the period like how it was when it was first built in the turn of the century 1900's. It was spacious, the bed I laid on for a few minutes to take a breather was extremely comfortable, the parlor was welcoming with the warm decor, and I loved the huge windows! I called myself to get a quote on that particular room in the event if I were to ever find myself back there -- for one night for two people in that suite would cost a whopping $630 plus tax. One can wish.... Oh well. At least I got to enjoy it for the time I did. My cousin said it was well worth the money spent. read more

I go to the Capitol Hotel Restaurant, One Eleven, at least twice a year for special occasions. My favorite part is the valet parking. My car is a old piece of junk, but they are always kind and courteous. Once, they brought my car around and told me that the battery was dead, and they had to use jumper cables to start it. The staff treated me as if I were a queen, and deserved dignity and respect. I drove straight to the car dealership and got a new battery. This could have been an embarrassing and humiliating experience, but the valets were wonderful to me. read more
