Discover Hot Springs
Storied structures, healing waters, and a natural setting continue to make Spa City one of the state’s top destinations
Opened to the public on New Years Eve in 1924, The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa has been an icon of downtown Hot Springs for just over a century. In celebration of the centennial, the historic structure recently underwent a thoughtful restoration and renovation. Alan Sims, general manager of The Arlington since 2017, describes work on the building’s exterior as particularly extensive. “We chipped away seven layers of stucco and uncovered some incredibly detailed craftsmanship at the top of the hotel that we’ve highlighted now,” he says. Inside, plumbing and electrical updates behind the walls ensure modern-day comfort for guests while the historical charm of architectural molding alongside antique mirrors and chandeliers remains. We spoke with Alan about The Arlington’s 100th anniversary, his favorite bits of Hot Springs history, and what makes Spa City so special.

Gratefully Yours
Expressions of gratitude live on in the simple act of a handwritten thank-you note
In an era of email, texts, and social media, the power of the good old-fashioned pen remains. Open your inbox on any given day and you’ll likely be flooded with tasks, advertisements, and informational memos. Purchase a registry gift online and you may even have the option to check a box indicating no thank-you note is required.

In the same way, the simple formula called on to create a cocktail—spirit plus equal parts sweet and sour equals a balanced drink—lends itself to a multitude of interpretations.
