About Fayetteville

What are the best hotels in Fayetteville?

Set among the wooded hills of northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville is a lively university city with a walkable downtown, historic buildings, lively Dickson Street and the trails and lakes of the Ozarks close by. The best places to stay put you within easy reach of the university, restaurants and outdoor adventures, from cosy historic inns to fun, contemporary city hotels. Inn at Carnall Hall is our favourite, with stylish rooms, plenty of character and an enviable spot right on the University of Arkansas campus.

The Best Places to Stay in Fayetteville

For a Heritage Inn

  • Inn at Carnall Hall opened in 1905 and has a long history as part of the University of Arkansas. Following a recent renovation, the inn's 49 rooms are swish and stylish, perfect for couples, friends or families — especially those visiting university students. Expect a superb eatery and heaps of characterful charm. Brilliantly located on campus.
  • Dickson Street Inn is a cosy B&B with 10 comfortable bedrooms in what was once a nineteenth-century family home. There's space for couples or families — some rooms have sofa beds — and the adjoining Dickson Street Pub is a great spot for an evening drink or some food (there are plenty of other bars and eateries nearby). Small, historic and welcoming.

For Contemporary Cool

  • Graduate Fayetteville is a lively city hotel with funky interiors in a downtown high-rise. Pick this place for the youthful energy, hip decor and sociable communal areas. The swimming pool and complimentary bicycles are a lovely touch. A sure-fire hit with families or groups of friends travelling together.
