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.

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.

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.
