Empress of Little Rock

"2 Michelin Keys | 8 rooms | From $200pn Nothing less than a large-looming, exquisitely-appointed late Victorian mansion, the Empress of Little Rock is a truly memorable boutique bed and breakfast. Originally the Hornibrook Mansion, this architectural statement rendered in Gothic Queen Anne style was the dwelling of one of Little Rock’s most successful late 19th-century saloon keepers. Opulent and octagonal, the Empress’s individually decorated rooms are joined by unique design flourishes, such as a divided stairway, a three-and-a-half-story corner tower, and a stained-glass skylight. Each takes its name from some character in the region’s history, and most feature sitting areas, while suites add jacuzzis or balconies."
