Murray Suite | The Empress of Little Rock

Perched within the iconic turret of The Empress of Little Rock, Arkansas' only Michelin-Key hotel and a AAA Four-Diamond property, the Murray Suite offers one of the most distinctive and memorable stays in the entire mansion.

Located on the second floor of the historic main house, this king suite sits directly above the grand front entrance and just below the stained glass turret that houses the home's hidden card room. Guests are immersed in the architectural drama of a true Queen Anne Victorian design, where curved walls, elevated positioning, and historic craftsmanship create a setting that feels both intimate and extraordinary.

At the center of the room is a king four-poster bed, framed by rich emerald green drapery and set beneath soaring ceilings. Natural light filters through turret windows, casting a soft glow across the space and highlighting the intricate details that define the room's character.

The suite is thoughtfully appointed with classic Victorian furnishings, offering a refined balance of elegance and comfort. Every element is designed to complement the architecture rather than compete with it, allowing the uniqueness of the turret to take center stage.

The private bathroom features a walk-in shower, along with curated bath amenities and plush towels, providing a comfortable and elevated experience.

Guests of the Murray Suite enjoy full access to the shared spaces of The Empress, including the parlors, dining room, verandas, and gardens. Located in the Quapaw Quarter Historic District, the property is just minutes from downtown Little Rock, the River Market, and the vibrant SoMa neighborhood.

This is not simply a room. It is an opportunity to stay inside one of the most architecturally unique spaces in Arkansas, where history, design, and atmosphere come together in a way that cannot be replicated.
