Hilton Garden Inn West Little Rock

Opened in 2014, the Hilton Garden Inn West Little Rock draws tourists and business travelers, sports teams, and weekend wedding parties. Its spacious lobby features a mosaic of vibrant tones, such as aqua blue and artichoke green. Clusters of striking oval chandeliers hang from a three-story, mini-atrium, illuminating long sectional sofas set in the center of the room. Floral-print rugs in several colors are set on laminate light-brown plank floors. Sheer drapes with aqua lines hang along two-story columns covered in silvery fabric. Several large planters with tropical plants and a modern gas fireplace add warmth to the inviting space, which has lots of private areas where guests can escape from any gathering crowds. 

The Hilton Garden Inn is located in a busy commercial area in West Little Rock, near several office complexes, retail stores, other hotels, and a few restaurants. It’s set off from the road by plenty of green space, making it look more secluded than it actually is. It’s about a three-minute drive to the point where Interstates 430 and 630 intersect. Interstate 630 runs directly into downtown Little Rock (a 13-minute drive), with such attractions such as the Statehouse Convention Center, Old Statehouse Museum, Verizon Arena, and Clinton Library and Museum. The Little Rock Zoo and War Memorial Stadium are an eight-minute drive away, and the Clinton National Airport is a 17-minute drive from the hotel. Historic Hot Springs is about an hour's drive.

The 133 rooms are modern and colorful, with a pleasant decor that features various combinations of beige, aqua blue, and dark brown in the carpeting, drapes, and walls. Espresso-colored wood headboards and nightstands contrast nicely with the bright white duvets and aqua-blue accent walls behind the beds. The leather armchairs add a cozy touch. Wood dressers and bureaus have tan granite tops. Standard Rooms feature one king-size bed or two queen beds. One-Bedroom Suites feature sleeper sofas and separate living rooms. Bathrooms present large dark-granite vanities and large walk-in showers with clear glass doors or shower/tub combos. Standard amenities include 42-inch flat screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, Keurig coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. Even when the hotel is busy, rooms are quiet. 

This full-service hotel’s amenities start with the Garden Grille & Bar, which serves classic American fare for dinner, lunch, and breakfast (not included in rates), including buffet and a la carte options. Free coffee and fruit-infused water are available in the lobby, and the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry sells sundries, food, and drinks, including beer and wine. The fitness center is small, with no weight-training machines, but does have free weights and cardio machines. The dedicated business center also operates 24 hours, and provides two personal computers and printers. The hotel has event space for up to 250 people, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. The indoor pool is spacious and heated, with a nice outdoor patio with comfortable chairs and covered tables. Valet laundry and dry cleaning are available, and there's a guest laundry room on-site. Parking is free, and there's an ATM in the lobby.
