Three floors with 94 guest rooms and five private dining rooms grace the Capital Hotel, which is across the street from The Peabody. The Capital exudes elegance, with its stained glass and fresh flowers. Each room has high-definition LCD TV and black-out curtains. Dine on-site with three meals a day and Sunday brunch at the upscale restaurants, relaxing with a glass of vintage port. Or try the coffee and chicory ice cream with chocolate-covered banana beignets for dessert. For some fresh air, walk to the Clinton Presidential Center and Park, just a few blocks away.
Go west two blocks from the Peabody to find the Doubletree Hotel Little Rock, which is directly across the street from Little Rock's government and state offices. Unwind on the sun deck or in the outdoor pool. The on-site gift shop and business services provide for the busy guest, as do the guest rooms, suites and executive accommodations. Dine at the on-site restaurant or stroll to the Peabody or the Capital for fine dining.
The Museum of Discovery is directly across the street from the Courtyard by Marriott, a three-minute drive east of the Peabody. Choose from guest accommodations that include queen beds, king beds and sofa beds. A fitness room equipped with cardiovascular machines and free weights, and a heated indoor pool with whirlpool are some of the hotel's amenities. For an evening of entertainment, go next door to Sticky Fingerz Rock-n-Roll Chicken Shack to see live bands and taste some of their "Salivatin' Salads."
Take the Main Street Bridge across the river from the Peabody to the Wyndham Riverfront Little Rock. The hotel offers 220 rooms spread out on two floors that sprawl along the riverfront where children stay free. Conveniences, such as same-day dry cleaning, laundry/valet and complimentary airport shuttle are among the amenities. Both Benihana Japanese Steakhouse and The Riverfront Steakhouse are on-site for dining choices. Room service is available.
For a less pricey stay in Little Rock, drive two minutes south of the Peabody to La Quinta Inn & Suites Downtown Conference Center. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center. About a block away is Ciao Italian Restaurant, where you might want to indulge in the Wild Mushroom Ravioli sautéed in sherry cream sauce appetizer.
