Throughout December, the heart of downtown comes alive with festive celebrations. You’ll be steps away from live music, free movies, and holiday events in the Auditorium, Santa in Basin Spring Park, the Downtown Christmas Parade, the Jinglin’ Jeep Parade, and the Cocoa & Cookie Crawl. The annual Meet the Makers Craft Show features handmade holiday creations, and the Eureka Express offers family activities at the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway depot. Each weekend brings even more—like holiday movie showings at the Auditorium and the Living Windows display, when shopfronts turn into scenes of holiday cheer. The hotel is also included on the new Christmas at the Inns Tour, offering guests another way to experience the season in Eureka Springs. Plus, the Basin Park Hotel is part of the Holly Route for the Eureka Springs Trolley, giving visitors a festive ride to see the city’s best Christmas lights.
When you’re ready to relax, return to The Basin Park Hotel for a warm and comfortable retreat.

In the evenings, Jack Rabbett’s Whisky Bar & Game Room offers a cozy place to unwind with friends, sip a signature cocktail, or enjoy live music.
For total relaxation, visit Spa1905. Enjoy a soothing hot mineral bath, followed by a massage, facial, or body wrap. Couples can unwind together with a side-by-side massage, and guests will find plenty of ways to relax and recharge before heading back out to explore the holiday lights downtown.
