You can imagine a damsel in distress crying from the tower’s tiny window, waiting for her hero on a white horse to come and rescue her. This scene takes place not in Camelot but right in downtown Little Rock, where The Empress of Little Rock stands proud with its imposing corner tower, stained glass windows, and wrap-around porches, looking much like it did when it was completed in 1888. The Victorian beauty was meticulously renovated with careful care to preserve all the original details but to bring it into the 21st century with the amenities modern guests expect.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and looking like it belongs in Downtown Abbey, what was once the Hornibrook Mansion is today a luxurious bed and breakfast rich with character and full of period antiques. It offers a very special experience to even most discerning guests. Each suite has a king or queen feather bed, fireplace, a jet shower with hydrotherapy massage, aromatherapy steam sauna, Wi-Fi, iPod docking station, cable TV, separate sitting areas, and two-course fabulous gourmet breakfast.
