The Capital Hotel in Downtown Little Rock

The Capital Hotel was built in the 1870s, but has undergone many renovations and is now one of the most luxurious hotels in Little Rock.

According the hotel, it was first famous for having electricity and an elevator large enough to fit a horse. I'm not old enough to remember those times, but today the Capital is famous for the luxurious rooms, the first class service and southern charm. There are flowers in every room, smiles on staff faces and little touches everywhere that make your stay memorable. Since the recent renovations, it really does look great.

The Capital always gets rave reviews.

The hotel is centrally located in downtown Little Rock's River Market District, close to the Clinton Library, the Convention Center and many other tourist sites. They call themselves "the front porch of Little Rock."

The Capital is also famous for it's restaurants, specifically Ashley's at the Capital. It's one of the places locals go for "special" date nights. This is the kind of place you go to propose, celebrate a special anniversary, or just have a special evening. The elegance, preparation and service are hard to beat.

The Capital Bar and Grill is more reasonable priced, less formal and you still get great food.

The Chef's have one of the most enjoyable food blogs of Arkansas foodies: New American Cuisine. They often show photos of the foods that will go on the menu, and discuss their ideals and approaches to food.
