Step inside the door to begin enjoying it's Southern style and comfort. The interior has been updated through the years to accommodate our modern day sensibilities but remains true to it's Southern heritage and it's original traditional design.
The lobby has changed little through the years and is covered by a beautiful stained glass ceiling that creates a warmth in the space and highlights its grandness.
The tile floors are also original to the hotel and the pattern was actually replicated in different colors in each of the downstairs rooms. Some rooms have now been covered by carpet.
A key element of the design of the hotel are the "marble" columns and capitals which are actually hand crafted faux marble crafted to replicate the original columns.
A wide staircase leads to the Mezzanine which includes a sitting parlor and connecting balcony. An elevator is also available which also boast a unique history.
Fresh flowers great you daily on the stair landing.
The sitting parlor at the capital hotel provides a great place to relax and socialize.
The balcony is a delight and a great place to hang out day or night. We took full advantage of this outdoor offering.
Rooms at the Capital Hotel offer floor to ceiling windows, 14' ceilings, fresh flowers, and a 'subway tiled' shower and bathtub. The nightly turn down service was something to look forward to and usually included a nice sweet treat. Be sure to eat at the two restaurants located in the hotel. I ordered the fried catfish and cornbread at The Capital Bar and Grill more than once during our stay. As I stated we fell in love with this hotel so don't hesitate to stay here on your next visit to Little Rock.
