Resort-Style Summer Fun, Just a Short Drive Away
The 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa is close enough for a simple road trip and relaxed enough that you can park once and switch into vacation mode. Families spend their time between the pool, short walks on the trails, and daily resort activities that make it easy to keep everyone entertained. When you want a change of scene, a convenient free shuttle takes you from the Crescent to downtown Eureka Springs and back, so you can explore shops, restaurants, and attractions without having to repark or navigate unfamiliar streets.
Recognized as a Top Family Resort in the U.S.
For multiple seasons, the Crescent Hotel has been nominated for USA Today’s 10Best list of Best Family Resorts in the United States, including a recent top-three finish. That recognition comes from real families who return for the same things year after year: a historic setting, a classic pool, memorable activities, and a stay that feels like a true resort trip without a long travel day.
Activities That Fill the Day
Daily Resort Fun for Kids and Grown-Ups
Summer days at the Crescent are built around simple, memorable moments. Families can head to the pool, walk nearby trails, and spend time at the Frisco Sporting Club, where yard games and hatchet throwing add a little friendly competition to the trip. Around that, the hotel’s daily resort activities give you a rotating mix of things to do, from ghostly history and “oddities” tours to pool parties, ice cream socials, and live music on the mountaintop. The result is a stay where there is always something on the schedule, but still plenty of room to move at your family’s pace.
