This venue is AMAZING!! This was definitely one of the most pleasant, beautiful, and fun weddings…read moreI have ever attended!! As a photographer, sometimes shooting weddings is high stress and some hosts make things extra difficult. This was most definitely not the case here!! The scenery at this location is absolutely breathtaking and the owners Leslie and Michael are some of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life! They thought of absolutely everything and were so helpful to everyone involved in the day!! They laughed with us, they danced with us, they enjoyed this day as much as the bride and groom themselves!! They both have such a wonderful spirit and even their son was just a doll!! The chapel is the cutest little chapel I have ever seen and I totally adore the spiral staircase in the corner!! It made for a great photo!! The terrace is beautifully perfect, especially with the recent expansion!! It is complete with a fire pit, bathrooms, a bridal room and small kitchen area. The little bridal house is lovely and the creek makes for a beautiful backdrop. This was most definitely one of the best weddings I have ever been to!! Highly highly recommend this venue to brides to be! The chapel and terrace are perfect for smaller weddings (many more than 100 people things might get a little cramped) and this is definitely going to be on my list of favorite photography locations!!

I love seeking out historic places when I travel, and The Empress was one of the highlights of my…read moretime in Little Rock. This beautifully restored Victorian mansion is filled with character. Every room showcases incredible craftsmanship, from the original woodwork and stained-glass windows to the elegant fireplaces, antique furnishings, and period décor. I found myself slowing down just to admire all of the details--it's a photographer's dream. The gardens are just as charming as the interior, offering a peaceful place to relax before heading out to explore the city. Inside, the common areas feel warm and inviting, making it easy to imagine what life was like here more than a century ago. What I appreciated most was that The Empress isn't simply a place to spend the night--it's an experience. If you enjoy architecture, history, boutique accommodations, or unique bed and breakfasts, you'll find plenty to love here. Whether you're visiting Little Rock for a weekend getaway or passing through on a road trip, I'd absolutely recommend adding The Empress to your itinerary. It's one of those memorable places that stays with you long after you've left.

Nostalgia at its finest. If you're looking for the newest hotel, you went to the wrong place. If…read moreyou're looking for a good night's sleep after sitting at the covered patio by the lake and the rose garden, and want to enjoy the old school good cafeteria food from your childhood, then this is the place. I went for a leadership retreat, and I loved being able to walk down the hall and be right there without the drive. In my room, hummingbirds were at the window, and I could see deer at the edge of the lake. This was my first time staying overnight in 22 years, and my first time back in 9 years. The place has been updated to be more 2026, but has the nostalgic charm I hope it never loses.

I am accustomed to nothing but the best! The food did not taste bad it was very eatable it just was nothing to brag on. The center is a very affordable center for large group meetings. If you want a place to work hard during the day and R-n-R in the evening this is a wonderful place! It is out far enough you think your in the woods yet close enough to the city you can enjoy all the the conveniences of the city! Definitely worth checking out!

Door me were supposed to be open no later than 730 and it was almost 745 when they opened and as big as this place was no one was guiding us to were we needed to go they just stood there looking at us, until a lady in a red shirt yelled at us for all being in the wrong area, SORRY! Put up signs or tell your staff to direct people. The opening doors late was a super sucky move on their staff fault because this was a gymnastics event so while to tried to bundle the kids up it wasn't the same because they had to have their gymnastics gear on and were freezing .
