Historic Victorian Elegance

The Hornibrook Mansion, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is regionally recognized as the best example of ornate Victorian architecture in Arkansas. Its Gothic Queen Anne style features a grand divided stairway, stained glass skylight, and octagonal-shaped rooms. The Empress Of Little Rock offers a mix of 1930s Hollywood elegance with 21st-century Victorian touches.

Luxurious Themed Suites

Rooms include the Hemingway Suite with a king feather bed and Jacuzzi, and the Majestic Suite featuring a gold crown canopy bed. Victoria's Garden Suite overlooks a Romantic Heirloom Moonlight Garden, while the Petit Jean room reflects military and sea relics. Each room has a private bathroom with bathrobes and free toiletries.

Breakfast & Event Dining

A daily breakfast is served in the formal dining room, and private brunches or high teas can be arranged. The Hornibrook Mansion also hosts garden weddings, including use of the Secret Garden and chapel. The property does not have an on-site restaurant but is surrounded by eclectic dining options.

Business & Local Attractions

The Empress Of Little Rock features a business center and meeting room, catering to corporate guests. Nearby attractions include the Clinton Presidential Library, Arkansas Arts Center, and Esse Purse Museum. Guests can enjoy spa services, garden views, and a terrace during their stay.

“In my opinion, this is a meticulously restored Victorian mansion, not just a hotel; the owners' commitment to historical detail is evident. Themed suites and personalized service create a genuinely romantic atmosphere. Its location near Little Rock's attractions makes it ideal for a luxurious, historically rich getaway.”
