Spring Break is a great time to get out of town for a few days, and if you want an easy home base in downtown Eureka Springs, the Basin Park Hotel keeps everything close. You can walk to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, then come back to a full-service hotel with activities built right into your stay.
Stay in the middle of downtown
When you stay at the Basin, you are right in downtown Eureka Springs, so you can explore without planning a whole itinerary. Wander the side streets, pop into stores, grab a coffee, and keep going. If you want to cover more ground, you can hop on the trolley, and the hotel also offers a free shuttle, so getting around stays simple.
Add our Discover Downtown family activity
If you are traveling with kids, try Discover Downtown, a self-guided activity created for Basin Park Hotel guests. Start at the Resort Host Desk to pick up your Discover Downtown guide and trolley pass, then head to Trolley Stop #81 near the walking bridge and ride over to Grotto Spring. From there, the route brings you back toward downtown with stops like the Carnegie Library, Harding Spring, and Sweet Spring’s gardens. It is meant to be relaxed and flexible, not a structured tour. Discover Downtown is free for Basin Park Hotel guests, and you can sign up online or stop by the Resort Host Desk to get started.
More to do without leaving the hotel
Between downtown exploring and Discover Downtown, you can still pack a lot into your stay at the Basin.
Behind-the-Scenes Tour
Explore areas of the hotel that are not usually open to the public and hear stories from its past.
Paranormal Investigation
From the rooftop to the hidden cave on the ground floor, join a guided experience built around the hotel’s unexplained history.
Game Time
Spend some time in JR’s Game Room, or check out the entertainment in the Rabbett Hole.
Live music and tastings

Spa1905
When you want a slower hour, book a treatment at Spa1905, right here in downtown.
Dining with a view
For lunch or dinner, head to the Balcony Restaurant and look out over Spring Street while you eat. It is an easy way to take a break and reset before your next stop.
Plan your Spring Break stay
If you want a spring break trip where you can park once and explore on foot, the Basin Park Hotel is a simple choice. Between downtown right outside the door and on-site activities like Discover Downtown, you can keep the days full without overplanning.
