Hot Springs Hotels

I love Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is fast and easy to get there from the Metroplex. And, it is possible to get your attitude adjusted and be back home in just a weekend. What I like to do in Hot Springs is take a Mineral Bath, get a massage, eat, take a nap and begin the process all over again.

Where to stay?

I like The Park Hotel. http://www.parkhotelhotsprings.com/ It is cheaper than the Arlington. It is also smaller. It has more of a boutique feel to it. The lobby is very high-style Deco. This hotel is old enough and quirky enough that the rooms are almost all different. Ask for an assortment of rooms to inspect when you are checking in. Go upstairs and pick out the one that you like best!

I also love The Arlington. It was my first choice for years. http://www.arlingtonhotel.com/ Stay here at least once. There is an elevator that only goes to The Spa. Check out the stain glass in the elevator that goes from the guest floors directly to The Spa. The main reason I stay in The Arlington is to be able to go hang out in one of the largest hot tubs in the known universe. It is built into the side of the hill behind the hotel and seats a crowd. I have been in that hot tub during Thanksgiving weekend when the air temperature was perhaps 38 and the water was steamy and delicious.
