Things To Do and Places to Stay
Cottage Court
Rooms are $85-$110 a night. This is a stylish, renovated boutique motel close to downtown! One of our favorites in town.
Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa
THE historic hotel to stay, across from the national park and in the heart of downtown.
In the Trees
For a more luxurious stay equipped with a hot tub and gorgeous views, this would be my pick.
Fox Pass Cabins
Cabins just outside of town.
Hot Springs Mountain Tower
Be sure to stop by North Mountain and see downtown from Mountain Tower!
West Mountain Trail
This is one of my favorite hiking trails in town. Go up West Mountain Drive and start where you see the Shelter on the map.
The Grand Promenade
Behind bathhouse Row Downtown, there is a beautiful historic path. An easy stroll with great views of downtown.
Lake Catherine State Park - Falls Branch Trail
An easy 1.7 mile hike through a beautiful forest with views of a waterfall, creek and Lake Catherine.
Quapaw Baths & Spa
Great thermal pools and excellent massage packages if you want to treat yourself this weekend! This is one of two bathhouses connected to the Hot Springs.
Kollective Coffee & Tea
Great coffee and tea shop downtown with gluten free and vegan breakfast/lunch options. One of our favorites in town.
The Pancake Shop
This is one of the best breakfast spots in town for a classic American diner breakfast. Best to get here early, there's always a line.
Olde Crow General Store
If you're up for a beautiful drive and delicious sandwiches, this old general store is about 30 minutes outside of town up historic, winding highway 7.
Iron Crow Antiques
If you love antiques, thrifting, or Oddities and Curiosities, this is a wonderful shop to browse. It's in a old house with three levels of treasures. There is also a shop cat who will greet you.
Black Tie Antique Mall
With a town full of thrift stores and antique malls, this one is my favorite. You could spend an entire afternoon here and not see everything. Full of treasures.
