STAY AT THE MOST HAUNTED HOTEL IN HOT SPRINGS (IF YOU DARE!)
Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa
Located in the center of bustling downtown sits the city’s most historic building (it opened in 1875). History buffs can stay in notorious mobster Al Capone’s favorite room, and thrill seekers can find haunting frights (many guests report seeing ghosts in windows and floating down the hallways). Step back in time as a guest here—The Arlington is currently being restored to its authentic 19th-century glory.
