Where to Stay in Little Rock
Your guide to the best areas and accommodation types
Little Rock spreads across seven distinct neighborhoods, each with its own lodging personality. Downtown packs the tallest hotels along the Arkansas River, where glass towers reflect sunset orange. River Market clusters converted warehouses with loft apartments above night-time jazz. Midtown spreads mid-range chains along University Avenue, always scented with charcoal from nearby barbecue pits. North Little Rock sits just across the river, quieter but still ten minutes to the action. South Main (SoMa) keeps its artsy vibe with gallery-filled streets and boutique inns inside restored Victorians. Heights offers leafy residential calm with historic mansions turned into bed-and-breakfasts. West Little Rock spreads newer business hotels near shopping centers and chain restaurants.
Expect to pay budget-friendly rates for basic rooms, mid-range for riverfront views, and a splurge for the top downtown towers with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Budget
$50-80 per night for highway motels and basic downtown chains
Mid-Range
$90-140 per night for riverfront hotels and boutique properties
Luxury
