Where to Stay

Eureka Springs has no shortage of great places to stay, but the most convenient options for our wedding are the Crescent Hotel and its sister property, the Basin Park Hotel. Neither hotel offers room blocks, so if you're hoping to stay at one of them, we recommend booking sooner rather than later to make sure you get a spot.


***It is expected to be a busy weekend in Eureka Springs! We suggest booking your accommodations as soon as possible to lock in lower rates and get ahead of the rush!


The Crescent Hotel is where our reception will take place - it’s perched up on the hillside with beautiful views and lots of historic charm.


The Basin Park Hotel is right in the middle of downtown Eureka Springs, perfect if you want to be close to restaurants, bars, and shops.


*Full disclaimer: Both of these hotels are known to be haunted. We highly recommend reading up on the history before your visit! The Crescent Hotel has a very interesting history and has been identified as "America's Most Haunted Hotel" on several lists. We stayed at The Crescent Hotel over Suzannah's birthday weekend this past spring, and while Suzannah is a big baby about all things scary, we witnessed no "activity" and slept great, despite going on the hotel's ghost tour earlier that evening.

While both hotels offer rooms for whatever your preference (very haunted versus less haunted), if staying in a haunted hotel is not your vibe, Eureka Springs has tons of other great close-by options without the additional spooky guests.


The New Orleans Hotel is a charming 1892-era inn modeled after the French Quarter, showcasing original iron balconies, a four‑story grand staircase, balcony-access suites adorned with local art, and warm, Southern hospitality in the heart of downtown.


The Grand Central Hotel, built in 1883, is Eureka Springs' oldest hotel and a beautifully restored Victorian gem featuring 14 elegant suites, antique furnishings, and modern amenities, all within walking distance of downtown galleries and shops.


Want something a little more standard? There is a Best Western that is a 5-minute drive from the venue and is also located on the trolley route.


There are several other cozy inns and a wide variety of Airbnb and VRBO rentals, which are especially great if you're planning to stay with a group.

Getting Around

Getting around Eureka Springs, Arkansas is as easy as hopping on a Trolley (yes, there actually is a trolley!).


There is a free shuttle that runs between The Crescent Hotel and Basin Park Hotel from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m every day. Even if you aren't staying at either of these hotels, you can still use the shuttle system between the two - all you have to do is ask the person at the front desk! We recommend using this shuttle service to get to and from the venue if you choose to stay elsewhere in downtown.


Uber and Lyft are also around and seemed easily accessible when we spent time in the area. This is a good option if you are looking for a lift outside of the hotel's shuttle hours or want to travel somewhere other than downtown or The Crescent Hotel.


Parking in downtown Eureka Springs is a bit more challenging. With old and narrow cobblestone streets, the options are few and far between; however, there is street-side metered parking and a few paid parking lots. Plan ahead and use the trolley system or check the parking maps on the town's transportation website.
