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

1.5 / 5.0
Overall it was a good experience. The history of the house is fascinating, and has a wide variety of nuances. There are touches in other B&B’s that we’ve stayed in that were more on point though. Things like rose petals in the tub or on the bed, chocolates, or even popcorn for the movie. The perk here was a robe for my bride and I. The shower/steam/spa was a little difficult to figure out and was a bit of a letdown. The bed was a little hard also. Softer pillow top beds seem to be the norm in other places we’ve stayed.
Breakfast was simple and tasty.
The owners & assistants were nice but seemed inconsistent in service. We were waited on well, however I noticed another guest having to get their own refill of juice or coffee from the bar.
Of the places I’ve stayed, this was par for the course. Good for first-timers, to allow for more of an ooh-ahh factor with other B&B’s.

This beautiful Historic home was built in the 1880's. It is immaculately clean, beautifully restored, fantastically furnished. Breakfast was great. The friendly owners were on property with great suggestions, helpful advice without ever being in the way. I highly recommend without any reservations.

We loved our stay at the Empress of Little Rock. The house was a gorgeous time capsule! In addition to our room, we had five immaculate, incredibly decorated rooms to relax, read, have tea, etc. Our hosts provided a very comfortable and friendly environment. Breakfast was on the porch (perfect weather!) and was hearty and delicious. We enjoyed walking in the historical neighborhood and staying in our lovely room, the Miss Eliza room.

This was an awesome stay, the home is beautiful and decorated with period antiques. Everything is stunning. The host is great, thoughtful and knowledgeable about the home and the area. The home is very quiet and the breakfast was fantastic. We ate on the front porch which was very nice. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it highly to everyone.

There is a good reason The Empress of Little Rock is on of the top 10 list of the best B and B's in America. The Empress has captured the Victoria period in every detail. The priceless paintings, furniture and silver are polished to perfection. I truly feel it is even more beautiful than when it was first built in 1888.
