Victorian Hotel with Therapeutic Pampering
In the mid-19th century, Eureka Springs was so named for its many local springs, which were believed at the time to cure blindness and injuries. As the city grew, charming Victorian architecture developed around the springs. Nowadays, a traveler is more likely to visit these buildings than the natural wellsprings. Grand Central Hotel and Spa is located in a restored 1880s building, one of several local hotels in town listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The hotel's lobby brims with period antiques, many imported from England or nabbed from a time traveler's basement. Vintage settees with carved wooden frames and tufted upholstery surround a grand piano, and interior windows look into the Grand Taverne, the hotel's onsite restaurant. At its open-air kitchen, you can see European-trained Chef Dave Gilderson craft French-inspired dishes such as prosciutto-sprinkled chicken or grilled salmon slathered with pistachio butter. You can use the included $10 restaurant voucher for appetizers or drinks or apply it toward entrees.
Upstairs, rooms continue the 19th-century theme with floral wallpaper, lace curtains, and old-fashioned prints of cherubs and picnickers. Modern amenities such as two-person jacuzzis and kitchenettes also furnish rooms.
For further pampering, head to the salon and spa for a waxing ($15–$30) or a manicure ($30).
Eureka Springs, Arkansas: Victorian Enclave in Ozark Mountains
The streets of Eureka Springs Historic District curve with the rolling hills of the Ozarks. With this infrastructure, there are some funky buildings; at some Victorian hotels, you can enter at ground level on two or even three separate stories.
North Main Street stretches downhill toward artists' colonies and galleries, many of which feature ceramics and jewelry. Eureka Springs hosts a number of regular cultural festivals, including gallery strolls and jazz weekends. To the northwest, you can see the seven-story Christ of the Ozarks statue, which stands out as a monumental white silhouette against surrounding peaks.
Travel deeper into the Ozark Mountains themselves at Onyx Cave, a part of the Mammoth Cave system that glitters with fantastical formations. The Thorncrown Chapel is an unusual house of worship; the tall, narrow structure tucked into the woods is made almost entirely of glass and wooden beams.

Need To Know Info
About Grand Central Hotel and Spa
It’s a sleepy small town now, but back in the 1880s Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was abuzz with activity. Travelers came from all over the country to indulge in the area's therapeutic waters. It was during this time that The Grand Central Hotel & Spa sprouted up in the center of town as a stagecoach terminal to handle the influx of passengers. The hotel's red-brick façade and old-fashioned green awnings stand out to this day along the town’s main thoroughfare.
Inside, the meticulously restored guest suites look like they’ve been plucked from the pages of a Victorian novel—they feature period wallpaper, button-back sofas, and hand-cranked televisions. In a similar vein, The Grand Taverne restaurant was designed to resemble an 18th-century Parisian watering hole. Head chef Dave Gilderson draws on his international training to craft entrees such as grilled Australian lobster tail and roasted rack of lamb. Sauces and sides are all made from scratch with fresh spices from the onsite herb garden. The Spa at Grand Central also incorporates natural ingredients into treatments ranging from warm basalt stone massages to invigorating sugar scrubs.
