At Lookout Point,  we provide comprehensive pampering and concierge services. Which means that we make dining suggestions every day. Fortunately, Hot Springs enjoys a multitude of really good restaurants!

Here’s our FAVORITE FIVE and WHY we love them:

1. Luna Bella. Fabulous food, artfully and freshly prepared by a top-notch chef, in a lovely setting. Added bonus: very convenient and close to Lookout Point.  Type of food: Italian American Fusion. Try: pear endive salad or buttery scallops.

2. Bohemia. Described as continental cuisine, and located north of the historic downtown in a funky building. Chef/owner really cares about his food. Try: Petit Jean lamb (local).

3. Central Park Fusion. Located in the historic downtown, featuring world class dining. Type of food: fusion from around the globe. Try: one of their steaks. Note: nice decor but can get quite loud on busy nights.

4. Rolando’s. Downtown. Check out their outdoor dining option, tucked into the side of a mountain, with live music in the evenings. Type of food: nuevo Latino. Try: the cubano platter.

5. J & S Italian Villa. Great views of the lake from this friendly restaurant. Bonus: piano bar with live entertainment, plus it’s close to the inn. Type of food: Italian. Try: chicken verona.

Of course, we’ll be delighted to make reservations for you when you are enjoying a great stay at our Hot Springs B&B/ inn!

If there weren’t already plenty of fun things to do in Hot Springs, add to your list the five concerts coming to town presented by The Finish Line Concert Series at Oaklawn.

So, plan your Hot Springs vacation around one of the great concerts and, of course, make your reservations to stay our Hot Springs B&B!

The outstanding series includes a concert a month for five months:

• June 7 The Oak Ridge Boys. OK, maybe they should be called the Oak Ridge Old Dudes.
  

  Boys? Really??

  But their four-part harmonies and upbeat songs have spawned dozens of Country hits and awards.

• July 19 Diamond Rio performs their show-stopping country hits. They’ve sold more than 10 million albums, receiving Grammy and Country Music awards.

• Aug. 23 Paul Revere and The Raiders
  

  Fashion style?

  come to Oaklawn with a style (do they still dress colonial?) and sixth sense for pleasing an audience.

• Sept. 27 Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers take the stage representing a four-decade career from dusty Texas stages to the White House to Broadway.

• Oct. 25 The Texas-bred band Lonestar finishes the concert series marking their 20^th anniversary. The band is well known for merging their country roots with rich melodies and vocals.

Tickets for all the performances go on sale 10 days before each concert at 9 a.m. Call 501-623-4411 ext. 340 for reservations. Ticket prices start at only $19.95, and the theatre seats only 700–very intimate.

In honor of the special Mom or Dad in your life, we’d like to suggest a weekend at Lookout Point Inn as your unique gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day or as a combined gift for both of them.

Pamper your Parents with a special weekend or weekday gift at the inn to say “thank you for all you’ve done to help me become the person I am today.”

Most Moms love chocolates and wine, a massage, time in the gardens at the inn or walking the labyrinth. Of course, there’s always shopping in downtown or visiting Garvan Gardens.

Dads can make it a golf weekend, schedule an outing with Captain Ray on Lake Hamilton , take the canoe out for the afternoon, or get the knots out with a relaxing massage.

Sunsets at Lookout Point are spectacular followed by a gourmet dinner at one of the fine dining restaurants in Hot Springs.

Give us a call @ 501-525-6155 or 866-525-6155 or e-mail us at info@lookoutpointinn.com and let us know how you’d like to honor your special Mom or Dad. We’ll offer suggestions, help you make all the reservations and send you a gift certificate for their stay.

At Lookout Point Inn we’d like to offer a special thank you to all the parents and grandparents who have made a contribution of love and support. You’re such an important part of our lives!

In a stroll through the gardens on this fine day, the blooms are truly eye candy. Besides the magnolias, hydrangeas, gardenias, Brazilian verbena, lilies, and butterfly bush, our feathered friends provided amusement.

Cardinals, ducks “Ricky & Lucy”, finches, mourning doves, robins, and scores of other birds were feasting, playing, and bathing in the gardens. The nest of baby robins will soon be empty.

We invite you to come enjoy a splendid space for relaxation and beauty at our Hot Springs B&B!

If you haven’t stayed in a bed and breakfast or an inn recently or ever, you’re missing pure pleasure in travel adventure.

Years ago bed & breakfasts conjured up visions of old Victorian houses that smelled funny and had white doilies (looks like a crocheted placemat that your grandmother made) on every table top. That just isn’t the case anymore. Take a look at the  Death to Doilies video and make your next reservation at a bed and breakfast. We would especially love having you visit us at Lookout Point Inn in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Here you’ll have an escapade of pure pampering and luxury.

Lookout Point is the vision Ray and I had years ago to provide a beautiful, serene setting on Lake Hamilton that would serve as a sanctuary of peace and tranquility for our special guests who were looking for a place to relax and unplug.

If you have never had a bed and breakfast experience or it’s been a long time since you treated yourself, you’ll be amazed at the extraordinary opportunity that awaits you. —- by Kristie Rosset

On a gorgeous April day, with a perfectly blue sky and slight breeze, Jeff and Tracy exchanged vows at Lookout Point.

Congrats, Jeff & Tracy!

Standing before family and friends, the couple chose the lakeside labyrinth for the site of their lakeside garden wedding.

Tracy’s stylish bridesmaids carried yellow bouquets, and the chairs were also adorned with yellow pom-poms.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We wish you all the best.

There are many good reasons to choose a stress-free intimate wedding. Give us a call, and we’ll be pleased to assist you.

At Lookout Point Inn we love dogs and because of that we really love to welcome pooches  at the inn along with their owners.

Ray and I have had numerous dogs in our lives throughout the years, each with funny and touching stories. When we were planning the inn, we decided to make sure we could accommodate dogs – from tiny to large breed – when they traveled with their owners.

When we have our guests’ special four-legged

Water loving dog, Nikki

friends stay with us, they are welcomed with a gift including custom-made doggie treats. Of course, they also receive their own personal welcome letter.

Please let us know you’re bringing your furry friend when you make reservations and we’ll be sure you are reserved in one of our dog-friendly rooms (four of our rooms are dog-friendly with direct access to the gardens).  We can help plan a perfect dog-friendly itinerary during your stay in Hot Springs.

As far as we know, Lookout Point Inn is the only Hot Springs B&B/Inn to welcome dogs. We look forward to pampering your special family member on your next visit.

This world class exhibit features hundreds of authentic shipwreck artifacts,

Shipwreck exploration by Odyssey

gold and silver treasures, as well as the incredible science and technology used to work thousands of feet below the surface of the ocean. Experience hurricane-force winds, pick up treasure with a robotic arm and explore the mysteries of the deep! How cool!

Running through September, you’ll want to make a special effort to visit Hot Springs and see this incredible, fun exhibit that fascinates people of all ages.

We invite you to stay at our award-winning Hot Springs B&B whenever you are in the area.

‘Tis the season for beautiful garden lakeside weddings on Lake Hamilton at our inn! In the past few weeks, many couples

Brittani & Scott's spring wedding

have chosen to exchange their vows here. Lake Hamilton, our gardens, and the waterfalls at Lookout Point make great back-drops for beautiful photos.

Congratulations to Scott and Brittani, wed on April 3, 2012! They are such a dear, genuinely nice couple, and were surrounded by family and friends for their wedding.

We wish you all the best! It’s true–all of our staff genuinely care about each and every couple that chooses to get married at Lookout Point.

Ray and I are so grateful for the opportunities we’ve received in owning and managing Lookout Point Inn for 9+ years. We’re constantly busy in our day-to-day operations, but we both agree that part of our gratitude involves giving back to the industry in leadership positions.

In January, I was elected to chair the Board of the Professional Assoc. of Innkeepers International. I gave up my position as a director on the Select Registry Board of directors, an association of 400 of the top inns in North America, to serve more in-depth with PAII.  Ray is an alternate director of the Select Registry Board.

Ray & I are both former presidents of the Bed & Breakfast Association of Arkansas. Ray serves again this year as vice president of the association, starting a 2nd term on the board.

One of the most fun volunteer opportuniteis we’ve had recently is leading workshops at the annual Innkeeping Show. I also had the pleasure of conducting two online webinars on innkeeper.

A true privilege for Ray and me is to mentor new innkeepers. We learned so much from our mentors when our inn was new, and we love to give back that interaction and share any know-how to those new in the industry.

We encourage all our guests and friends to look for volunteer opportunities and share their knowledge, experience and encouragement with others!
