The Venetian Dining Room at the Arlington

I love the beauty and cleanliness of the Arlington. The room was clean the ac kept us cool. Taking a shower with the thermal water from the hot springs felt amazing!! The staff was very helpful and attentive. They have a lovely pool and hot tub to enjoy! Bring your pet, bring your kids! We had a beautiful view from our room. The Arlington is right in the heart of Hot Springs, so there all kinds of things to see and do within walking distance. If you are looking to get away, or want to check out a great place this is it! You will not be disappointed!!

Everything was and always is fantastic

From the ease of reserving online, Izzy's great service, a variety of delicious food, and music by Jacob Flores, the whole experience made for a lovely Sunday brunch for my husband and me.

It was horrible and a huge waste of money. The only thing I could take a second bite of was some salad, green beans and some melon for dessert. It's three days later and I still have ptsd from the nasty taste of the fried oyster I ate. Go ANYWHERE else but this buffet.

Truly enjoyed our brunch. The granddaughters loved it, as well! All 3 of us loved Jordan! We enjoyed being serenaded by Jacob Flores! Amazing talent!

Service from the hostess to the bussers was amazing. Our server was Izzy and was the absolute BEST!

Second time here. Fantastic, opulent brunch buffet! Great music and ambience, too. I recommend the Arlington to any brunch enthusiast!

I love this hotel. We always stay in a mineral water suite. The water comes directly from the hot spring in the mountain. I love the historic bathrooms and think they are doing a really good job with renovations. The beds are comfortable. The furniture and furnishings are very nice and the new windows have beautiful views of the mountains. My kids love the pool. The staff are also very kind and accommodating. And the ladies who work in the dining room are always wonderful. They also have a great ice cream parlor and bookstore downstairs in the mall. I recommend staying here. We will be back every time we stay in Hot Springs.

This was exceptionally bad. The waitress was friendly, but the food was terrible, table was dirty, gnats flying around, cooks pounding at empty tables. I wanted it to be great and was excited about it... but it was disappointing. The seafood had been sitting a while in warmers, so everything I tried was chewy (not fresh) and the desserts were definitely freeze and thaw type desserts. The buffet was $45. I barely ate anything because I was concerned by the food quality.

The last time we were at the Sunday Brunch it was pre Covid. Great memories. We repeated this weekend and found that the Brunch space and some selections were reduced but the quality was still there. Our service was excellent, especially the gentleman who prepared the omelets who was great. Many areas of the hotel have been updated. It was nice to see they are keeping the Arlington Hotel the cornerstone of the Historic District. We had a great time and will be back again.

Cool old place to stay. Love the spa, the bar area and the live music on the weekends.

We ate dinner off the menu, followed by their Sunday Brunch to following morning. The food and service were outstanding! Pricing was reasonable for such quality food. The dining room in this historic hotel is beautiful!

Sadly, I must say our overall experience was definitely not what we were expecting. Our table linens appeared to have been used by a prior reservation. They were soiled and off putting. There were no dinner plates available when we went through the buffet line. We ate our meal on small dessert plates. Our meal was nothing to write home about. I actually was embarrassed that I made the reservation for my Mother and our family. On a positive note our waiter, Izzy, was very attentive and definitely was the best part of our experience.

Such a beautiful Mother's Day experience! Food was delicious and the hotel is still magnificent!

The Sunday Brunch was a bit of a let down for us. The live music was excellent and the service was great. The food was just ok. The omelet station was very good but most of the food from the buffet was dry and bland and the desserts seemed store bought. Not freshly made. For the price and the hype of the Arlington it was a disappointment. They only serve regular coffee as well. No latte or cappuccino options.
