Breakfast was server as if I was royalty. The warm biscuits taste as if they were made from scratch. Just like my grandma use to make. Also served with creamy scrabbled eggs and perfectly made gravy. Location is a typical downtown area but felt safe. The house is unbelievably perfect and maintained so well its hard to believe it was from the 1800’s. House was very clean and makes you feel so special. Even the gardens are very well planned and well kept. The whole place in magical and the owner is a delight to converse with. Best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed!! I would definately go back if in the area.

Nothing/ It’s perfect and definitely a sight to see for everyone.

The Empress is an amazing bed and breakfast. Every room, every piece of furniture, every single thing is exquisite! The decor has been done with such care and tenderness that the house transforms you and everyone who enters right back to the 1800’s ❤️. The hosts Antonio and Keith are FABULOUS! I highly recommend staying here if you’re in the Little Rock area.

Absolutely nothing!!!

The house is absolutely gorgeous! Antonio and Kevin have taken such great care of this historic house, you can tell they love having guest experience the beauty of the house. We were welcomed warmly and enjoyed the tour. Our bedroom was lavish and comfortable but the real gem was the bathtub- I could have stayed in it for hours!

Everything was perfect, I just wish we could have stayed longer!

the Empress Is quite simply the most beautiful B and B we have ever stayed in, and we travel a lot! The Victorian home is just lovely, inside and out, with a beautiful little garden in back if you happen to be traveling with a furry pet, like we were. if you are a lover of stately old homes, this is the place for you; it has been restored and is filled with the most gorgeous of antiques. We had delicious breakfast served on fine China and crystal. Antonio gave us a tour of the entire home, which was a treat. The beds are very comfy, there are tons of amenities, and you're very near some great little restaurants. I managed to leave my sleeping pillow in the room, and they packaged it up and sent it come to me! overall, such a great experience, we will definitely be back!!

The Empress is very centrally located for all that Little Rock has to offer. The home has been beautifully restored and the wood work and the furnishings have been lovingly restored. The room has all the comforts you expect with an old world beauty. Antonio the owner and Keith are such gracious hosts that make themselves available should a need arise. The morning breakfast was delicious with that added touch of fine China and silverware. I was a lone traveler and felt very secure. Thank you for a great weekend.

Nice atmosphere, great library, Christmas decorations were perfect. Have a question, just ask the host!!

I didn’t dislike anything, but a mini fridge in the suite would be nice. Regular “unflavored” coffee upstairs would also be a plus. Thanks Antonio!!

The rooms were like sleeping in your grandma's bedroom. Very homey and clean. The breakfast was really outstanding! The presentation was so pretty and the food was scrumptious! But usually the best part of staying in a Bed and Breakfast is getting to know the people and the places you are visiting. Getting to visit with Antonio, the owner, was that for us. He made us feel right at home like we were visiting family. Our visit with Antonio will be a big part of the memories that we take home from that visit to the Empress of Little Rock.

We loved absolutely everything. The rooms were amazingly quiet, breakfast was delicious, and the room was very clean and well kept.

There is not much within walking distance, but the location was very quiet, which was nice

Beautiful. Super clean. Good shower. Owner took us on an extensive tour of the property and gave all the history. It was wonderful. They had champagne glasses and ice bucket for our New Year’s Eve toast. For breakfast, we could choose one of the tables dotted around in the different rooms:egg/sausage casserole, yoghurt, fruit, and muffin. It was plenty.

No complaints at all.
