Crescent Hotel & Basin Park Hotel

After a long day of activities in Northwest Arkansas, finding a great place to stay for the night is key. For premier lodging and top-notch amenities, look no further than the 1886 Crescent Hotel and the Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs. With everything from comfortable rooms and suites all the way to penthouses, both hotels offer a variety of room options for every guest.

Acclaimed for its hospitality, ageless design and – according to some, its spooky past – the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa has overlooked downtown Eureka Springs since the late 19th century when visitors flocked to the town for “healing waters” fabled to flow through the area. In modern times, you can still enjoy pampering and rejuvenation at the hotel’s New Moon Spa & Salon, which offers relaxing services that include massages, body treatments, facials, soaking in the hot tub, or a steam in the sauna.

If you’re looking for more action than relaxation, challenge your friends or family to a game of lawn bowling or hatchet throwing at the Frisco Sporting Club. A variety of seasonal activities are always available and include items like crafts, wine and beer tastings. Even your four-legged family members are welcome at the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, as dogs are allowed with a small pet fee.

For those looking to experience The 1886 Crescent Hotel’s paranormal history, be sure to participate in a ghost tour. Known as America’s Most Haunted Hotel, there are decades worth of ghost sightings and stories, uncanny discoveries and mysterious encounters.

After you’ve spooked up an appetite, head to the Skybar Gourmet Pizza on the fourth floor for a slice of delicious pizza or other casual fare on the beautiful balcony. Also sharing the balcony is Top of the Crest: a quaint eatery with snacks, frozen drinks and desserts.

For elevated fare, enjoy the white glove treatment when you dine in the Crystal Dining Room during breakfast or dinner. Favorites include the hearty breakfast buffet or classic meals like lasagna for “La Cena”—the hotel’s Italian dinner tradition.
