The guest rooms of the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, the Symbol of Arkansas Hospitality, are the favorite choice of those who are in search of Eureka Springs lodging... and have been for more than a century. Lifetime Memories are created in each and every room.
Best bet is to drive to the hotel, as there’s accessible parking in front with ramp access to the lobby. From there, just take the elevator to the second floor. The tour starts in Room 212 and lasts for about two hours. It covers several floors of the hotel, but by far, the creepiest part is the visit to the basement, which was formerly the morgue for the Baker Cancer Cure Hospital. Corpses were reportedly stored there until hearses came in the dead of night to collect them.
There is good pathway access to all areas on the tour. There are stairs down to the basement, but an alternative accessible route is also available. If you can’t manage the stairs, make sure and make advance reservations, so they can have an additional guide on hand to direct you along the accessible route. They also ask that wheelchair-users call to make their reservations, so they can be put on the appropriate tour.
