Overview
Hilltop Manor Bed and Breakfast is a 4-star luxury inn set in a 1910 Craftsman manor house bordering Hot Springs National Park. The property sits on 5 landscaped, wooded acres featuring a waterfall and a magnolia grove, giving it a secluded, historic character rarely found in the area. It's located about 3 miles from Bath House Row and 3.5 miles from the Downtown convention center.
Rooms
The inn offers just 5 individually decorated rooms, each furnished with period antiques that reflect the home's early 20th-century origins. Every room includes hardwood floors, a flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi, while some rooms are further appointed with whirlpool tubs and fireplaces for added comfort.

A full breakfast is included and can be enjoyed in-room, on the front porch overlooking the grounds, or in the dining room. Guests have noted the wide selection of juices along with quality coffee and tea offerings served alongside the morning meal.

Spa services can be arranged for guests seeking relaxation during their stay, and the property offers on-site event space along with parking. The intimate, 5-room scale supports a personalized level of service noted repeatedly by guests.
Location & Surroundings
Hilltop Manor borders Hot Springs National Park and is within a few miles of Hot Springs Mountain Tower, Fordyce Bathhouse Visitor Center and Museum, Buckstaff Bathhouse, and The Grand Promenade. Magic Springs and X-Coaster amusement park are roughly 2.5-2.9 km away, while Garvan Woodland Gardens, Lake Catherine State Park, and Lake Ouachita State Park offer additional outdoor destinations a bit farther afield.
Best for
This bed and breakfast is best suited to couples and leisure travelers seeking a quiet, romantic historic retreat, thanks to its wooded 5-acre setting, waterfall, magnolia grove, and rooms with whirlpool tubs and fireplaces. It also appeals to visitors focused on the national park and bathhouse district experience, given its proximity to Hot Springs National Park, Bath House Row, and the Grand Promenade. Guests wanting arranged spa services and a full breakfast experience will also find the property a strong fit.
Travel tips
Plan to have a car or arrange transportation, as the manor sits about 3 to 3.5 miles from Bath House Row and Downtown Hot Springs, and several attractions like Garvan Woodland Gardens and the state parks are a further drive away. Because the inn has only 5 rooms, booking ahead is advisable, especially during peak national park visitation seasons. Guests interested in the bathhouses, Fordyce Visitor Center, or the Grand Promenade should budget time for the roughly 4 km trip into the historic district.
