The Empress of Little Rock

The Hornibrook Mansion , completed in 1888, has been described by the National Historic Register as the best example of ornate Gothic Victorian Queen Anne style in Arkansas and the surrounding region.  It boasts a magnificent divided stairway, a 3 1/2 story tower, 8 ft. stained glass skylight, six original Eastlake fireplaces, and octagonal shaped rooms which create a massive structure representing late-nineteenth century architecture in its most flamboyant style.  The authentic period restoration of three formal sitting parlors, foyer, library, dining room, "secret" turret card room, and six guest rooms makes this one of the most elegant and romantic accomodations West of the Mississippi. Our Carriage House houses three spa suites equipped with the newest hydro-jet shower systems, w/aroma-therapy and footbath, plus jacuzzies for two. Two of the suites have balconies with a view a our beautiful “secret garden”. A two course gourmet breakfast by candlelight with Victorian service comes with your room the next morning. You can also add one of our romantic amenities packages with your room to put some romance into your night.  All rooms are equipped with data ports, WIFI, cable television, iron and ironing board, hair dryer and feather beds.  Weddings and special events are also a speciality accomodating up to 75 inside and 140 outside, as well as teas, bridal brunches, and business meetings in our Quapaw Conference Center. The Empress of Little Rock, "the forgotten experience".
