What The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa does

The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa is a privately held full-service historic resort property at 239 Central Avenue in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas, operating since 1875 in successive incarnations and in its current 1924 building since November 28, 1924. The property is owned by Al Rajabi and self-describes as the largest hotel in Arkansas. It currently markets nine room categories spanning Historic Rooms (from $119/night) through signature suites named The Babe Ruth ($415/night), The Reagan, The Presidential ($430/night), and The Capone ($470/night), with Mineral Water Rooms piping natural hot springs thermal water directly into private bathtubs.

Revenue is generated across five streams: lodging, food and beverage (award-winning Venetian Dining Room, Lobby Bar with live entertainment, Coffee & Gifts with Starbucks, and Room Service, supplemented by Sunday Brunch at $36/adult and Friday Seafood Buffet at $45/adult), spa and salon services (Aveda-product full-service Salon & Spa plus the historic Thermal Bathhouse operating since 1924, with services ranging $35–$475), event venue rental across 45,000 sq ft of meeting and celebration space, and a 3.65% Legacy & Preservation Charge on rooms, parking, and on-property purchases.

The technology stack is conventional third-party hospitality tooling with no proprietary systems: TravelClick (booking engine, Hotel ID 9878554), OpenTable (restaurant reservations), Silverpay (in-room dining ecommerce), and Google Analytics. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the arlingtonhotel.com website and phone (+1 501-623-7771), supplemented by OTA reach through TravelClick. The property serves four primary customer segments — leisure travelers, wedding and celebration clients, corporate and convention groups, and wellness/spa seekers — and is currently undergoing phased exterior brickwork and interior modernization renovations while maintaining full guest operations.
