One of the best places I've ever stayed
I've done a lot of traveling over the last few years, and this may be the best place I've stayed. The home is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. You can almost feel the history of the place when you walk in. Great owners, wonderful rooms. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The Empress is beautiful & well maintained. This is the 2nd time I've stayed here. Unfortunately we were told this time that breakfast was not included in our stay. If we wanted it. We would be charged $20 each. Our expedia information plainly stated Bed & Breakfast & no upcharge mentioned. After paying $251.50 atleast a bowl of cereal would have been nice.

The Empress of Little Rock is our official “special occasions” stay when we are in the area. Antonio and Kieth are so sweet and genuinely interested in their patrons. The rooms are meticulous and have all the modern amenities, great style and decor, and they have added all the special touches to ensure your stay is perfect.
This place is always worth the splurge and it’s nice to see a little bit of Little Rock history.
Thank you, so much!! ❤️

This property is a very nice old mansion and just visiting is like being in a museum. Everything is 100 years old at least and the decoration of the house is magnificent. You have different options to stay, either in the main house or the carriage house. We were in the carriage house and it was really quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was the cherry on top. We will certainly go back

Staying at The Empress pf Little Rock was one of the most enjoyable things I have done in Arkansas. The staff was amazing. The attention to detail to bring you back in time was on point. The Empress is very luxurious and relaxing and is the prefect get away.

What an incredible experience!
The room was absolutely amazing (Victoria Garden suite). The owners were super friendly and extremely accommodating. Bed and pillows were so soft and I slept great.
If you are thinking of staying here, do it; you won't regret it.

This is was 11th stop on a 14 day trip. It was far and away the best. The house is beautiful the owner gracious and welcoming. He told us all about the house and let us look around. He gave us a recommendation for dinner that was phenomenal. I would come back to Little Rock just to stay at the Empress
