21c Museum Hotel Bentonville  

In the heart of downtown Bentonville on the northeast corner of the town square, a short walk to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and steps from The Walmart Museum and Bentonville Convention & Visitors Bureau. This 104-room boutique hotel doubles as a contemporary art museum and cultural center and is pet-friendly and walkable to Midtown Shopping Center and Lawrence Plaza.

Edgy, art-forward public spaces showcase rotating contemporary installations (look for the iconic Green Penguin). Rooms are individually decorated with minibars, espresso makers and premium bedding; many include 42-inch TVs and private bathrooms with tubs or showers. Expect a modern boutique vibe that blends gallery feels with downtown energy.

On-site museum galleries, concierge and a tour desk keep things lively; there’s also a massage room and a 24-hour fitness center for daily rituals. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, plus on-site self parking, gift shop services and accessible features like elevators. Wake up to town-square buzz and art-filled corridors.

A 24-hour business center and 12 meeting rooms support events and meetings, with express check-in/out available. Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet is provided throughout the property.

The Hive, led by executive chef Matthew McClure, serves Southern-inspired cuisine alongside a bar/lounge for cocktails. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee and limited room service is offered.
