About this property
The Pagoda | King Suite | The Empress Hotel
Refined and tranquil, The Pagoda Suite is an elegant first-floor retreat located in the Carriage House at The Empress of Little Rock, Arkansas' only Michelin-Key hotel and a celebrated AAA Four-Diamond property. Designed to feel calm, spacious, and quietly indulgent, this suite offers a serene alternative to the grandeur of the main house while remaining deeply connected to the historic grounds.
The suite's design blends classic elegance with subtle Asian-inspired influences, creating a space that feels both timeless and restorative. Carefully selected furnishings and fine materials establish a balanced aesthetic that is warm, composed, and inviting. The layout is intentionally open, allowing the sleeping and sitting areas to flow together without feeling crowded or confined.
A dedicated sitting area anchors the suite, furnished with elegant pieces that invite guests to slow down and settle in. From this vantage point, the suite opens visually toward the Secret Garden and chapel, offering peaceful garden views that shift beautifully throughout the day. Natural light fills the room, enhancing its calm, airy feel.
The bath experience is a defining feature of The Pagoda Suite. Guests may unwind in the deep soaking tub, ideal for long, restorative baths, or enjoy the oversized walk-in tiled shower, which stands over six feet tall and features dual shower heads for a spa-like experience. A makeup vanity area adds a thoughtful touch, supporting both comfort and convenience.
A discreet kitchenette includes a mini refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker, allowing for easy mornings and relaxed evenings. Climate control, curated courtesy products, and premium linens ensure a comfortable stay in every season.
With its first-floor location, garden-facing views, and refined sense of ease, The Pagoda Suite is especially well suited for travelers seeking a restorative stay within a historic setting. It offers the quiet luxury of a private retreat while maintaining full access to the exceptional experience of The Empress of Little Rock.
