Travel & Stay

Hot Springs is located in Central Arkansas, where Cecile’s mother’s family is from. It’s about an hour drive from Little Rock, 4 1/2 hours from Dallas and 6 1/2 hours from Houston.

The closest major airport is Little Rock National Airport (LIT), however, there are flights into the municipal airport, Hot Springs Memorial Field (HOT), on Southern Airways from Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX (DFW) and Memphis, TN (MEM).

We recommend guests fly into Little Rock and rent a car to drive to Hot Springs. You will be able to uber from LIT airport to Hot Springs, but recommend ensuring you have a confirmed / pre-booked transportation back on Sunday.
