Description

Known as Little Rock’s “front porch,” for over 140 years, the Capital Hotel is a beautifully decorated, high end 94 room hotel. Since 1876, when President Grant stayed there, it has become a beacon of southern culture. Today’s guests enjoy the ease of a modern, luxury hotel, while experiencing an unsurmountable approach to customer service, known as “Southern Comfortable.” The property is located across the street from the original Statehouse in Little Rock. Due to its unique, historic character, it has been noted as “the Grand Dame” of downtown life for well over a century.

One Eleven at the Capital and the Capital Bar & Grill provide fine dining experiences for guests. The Capital Bar & Grill has been recognized as a favorite watering hole for local political and business leaders, and it includes a complete kitchen, allowing the culinary team to showcase its unique approach to Southern “comfort food.” The Bar continues a tradition of hand-crafted cocktails complemented by its selection of craft beers and the Sommelier’s personally selected wines. Three to four nights a week, background jazz music is provided, depending upon the season.

The Capital Hotel has been regarded as amongst the best small meeting hotels in the United States. It offers five meeting rooms, each with its own kitchen to ensure premier restaurant quality meal service to our guests.
