Flight

Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (Little Rock)

We recommend flying into Little Rock and taking an Ride Share (Uber, Lyft) or renting a car and driving to Hot Springs. The drive is about 40 minutes and is typically ~$50 for a Ride Share or $80/day for a rental car. Once you arrive in Hot Springs you can walk everywhere and we will provide transportation the day of the wedding. We recommend tracking the flight prices for that weekend. Historically, flights for this time have been least expensive when purchased in November/December. Fun fact! There are no direct flights from the Bay Area to anywhere in Arkansas. If you'd like a direct option, you can fly into Dallas. The drive to Hot Springs is approximately 4 hours.

Hotel

Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa

While we don't have a room block here, we'd be remiss not to include the historic Arlington Hotel in our recommendations. If you're keen to travel back in time and experience something uniquely Hot Springs, we encourage you to check into the Arlington - a hotel frequented by Capone himself. But beware: some do claim it to be haunted. If you're not feeling up for the adventure, you can still enjoy a cocktail and a meal (and perhaps some live music!) at the Arlington.

Travel Note

House Rentals

There are many affordable options for house rentals on Airbnb both downtown and on Lake Hamilton. If you are traveling as a group this is a great option.
