The Grand Empress Suite offers one of the most distinctive accommodations in Little Rock. Designed for guests who appreciate space, privacy, and historic luxury, this expansive suite occupies a private wing of The Empress of Little Rock, Arkansas's only Michelin Key hotel.
Inside, you'll find two beautifully restored bedrooms, each with its own unique Victorian character. The Murray Bedroom features a king bed beneath the home's iconic turret, while the Hornibrook Bedroom offers a stately queen four-poster bed with rich historic detailing. Together they create an ideal retreat for two couples, families, bridal parties, or friends traveling together.
Each bedroom includes its own private full bathroom, allowing everyone to enjoy comfort and privacy throughout their stay. Original fireplaces, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, period furnishings, hardwood floors, and carefully preserved architectural details create an atmosphere that blends nineteenth-century craftsmanship with modern hospitality.
Although the suite feels like a private residence within the mansion, guests also enjoy access to everything that makes The Empress special. Relax on the grand porches, explore one of the South's most beautiful historic mansions, and enjoy complimentary breakfast served weekdays, with a full hot breakfast on weekends.
Located in the heart of Little Rock's historic Quapaw Quarter, you'll be minutes from downtown attractions, exceptional restaurants, the River Market District, museums, and medical centers while returning each evening to one of Arkansas's most memorable places to stay.
Whether you're celebrating a wedding weekend, enjoying a couples' getaway, visiting family, or simply looking for an unforgettable historic experience, The Grand Empress Suite offers the space, elegance, and privacy to make your stay truly exceptional.
