Favorite Things to Do in the Fall at the Crescent Hotel
Fall is one of the most scenic times to visit Eureka Springs, and there’s no better place to experience it than the historic 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa. From colorful hikes to cozy cocktails, here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy autumn in the Ozarks.
Start your day with coffee on your balcony. Crisp mornings and sweeping views over the Ozark hills make it easy to ease into the day. If your room has a balcony, you’ll have a front-row seat to the season.
Unwind with a spa treatment at New Moon Spa & Salon. Located inside the hotel, the spa offers massages, facials, and salon services. It’s a great way to relax after a brisk morning walk or before heading out for the evening.
Take in the sunset at Top of the Crest. This laid-back spot at the highest level of the hotel offers cocktails, desserts, and views. Twilight hour is a favorite time to visit, especially during fall when the sky tends to light up with color.
Try the new Governor’s Bar. This fresh addition to the Crescent brings small plates and drinks to the Crystal Dining Room space from 4 to 8 p.m. It’s a relaxed and welcoming place to start your night before heading out to dinner or a ghost tour.
Book a ghost tour or something more hands-on. The Crescent Hotel Ghost Tour is the most popular in town, but it’s not the only option. Expanded tours, a midnight investigation, and a family-friendly version for kids give guests more ways to experience the paranormal side of the hotel.
Spend an evening at Frisco Sporting Club. With yard games, hatchet throwing, and a food truck open in the evenings, it’s a casual place to gather and enjoy the weather. Live music plays on the weekends.
Guests can also take part in daily activities at the hotel, from yoga and history tours to fall crafts, s’mores, or caramel apples. These little extras make it easy to add variety to your stay.
Take a stroll downtown or plan a scenic drive. Downtown Eureka Springs is just minutes away, filled with shops, galleries, and cafes. If you’re up for exploring, nearby spots like War Eagle Mill, Crystal Bridges, or the Buffalo River make great fall day trips. This time of year, you might even catch the sound of elk bugling in the Boxley valley.
