Alternative Stays
Graduate Fayetteville
Located just off the downtown square, this is one of the more styled stays in the area, with a strong sense of place and easy access to restaurants and shops. A good option if you want to be in the center of things.
Inn at Carnall Hall
A historic hotel set on the University of Arkansas campus, with a quieter, more traditional feel. It’s a little more relaxed, with charm and walkability to campus and downtown.
Staybridge Suites Fayetteville / University of Arkansas
A reliable, more casual option with larger rooms and a slightly lower price point. Good for longer stays or guests who want something simple and comfortable.
Dickson Street Inn
A small, boutique-style inn right on Dickson Street. Best for those who want to be close to restaurants, bars, and nightlife, with everything within walking distance.
21c Museum Hotel -Bentonville
About 30 minutes away, but worth it if you want something more design-forward. Part hotel, part contemporary art space, with a noticeably elevated feel.

Crystal Bridges
A short drive to Bentonville, and well worth it. The museum is set into the landscape, with galleries, walking paths, and architecture that feels as considered as the collection itself. Even if you’re not planning a full visit, it’s a place to spend some time.
The Natural State
If you’d rather be outside, Northwest Arkansas offers trails and open landscape in every direction. Whether it’s a short walk or a longer hike, it’s one of the best ways to experience the area.
Fayetteville Square
An easy place to spend a few hours—walkable, relaxed, and centered around local shops, cafés, and the farmers market on weekends. It’s a good starting point if you want to stay close and ease into the area.
