About this property
The Empress Hotel | Hornibrook Suite | King Suite
Experience one of the grandest rooms inside The Empress of Little Rock, Arkansas's only Two Michelin Key hotel. The Hornibrook Suite blends Victorian elegance with modern comfort inside a beautifully restored 1888 mansion.
The suite centers around a magnificent four-poster queen bed beneath soaring ceilings and surrounded by towering windows that fill the room with natural light. Rich hardwood floors, original millwork, museum-quality antiques, and carefully selected furnishings create an atmosphere that feels timeless. Relax beside the decorative fireplace, enjoy a morning coffee from the in-room coffee station, or unwind in the sitting area after exploring Little Rock.
Modern amenities are thoughtfully incorporated without sacrificing historic character. A smart TV is discreetly concealed inside an antique armoire, allowing you to enjoy streaming entertainment while preserving the room's authentic Victorian ambiance. Complimentary Wi-Fi, luxury linens, plush towels, and thoughtful amenities ensure a comfortable stay.
The spacious private bathroom features an antique marble vanity, vintage-inspired fixtures, and a classic clawfoot soaking tub that invites you to slow down and relax.
Guests also enjoy access to the mansion's beautifully preserved common areas, including elegant parlors, the formal dining room, library, grand staircase, and expansive wraparound veranda. These shared spaces are part of what makes staying at The Empress such a memorable experience.
While the mansion's common areas may occasionally be enjoyed by other guests, event attendees, or our quiet on-site innkeeper, the Hornibrook Suite itself is entirely private and offers a peaceful retreat within one of Arkansas's most celebrated historic homes.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for an unforgettable stay, the Hornibrook Suite delivers a rare combination of authentic history, refined luxury, and gracious Southern hospitality in the heart of Little Rock.
