As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Not to be bleak about it, but it’s just true that existing things, even things we love, will eventually disappear. We’re all lucky that Dogpatch U.S.A. has had benefactors. Arkansas is riddled with abandoned buildings and ghost towns, but perhaps no story is more poignant than that of the once stately hotel in Hot Springs: the Majestic Hotel & Bathhouse. It’s a somewhat familiar story of declining interest turning into closure and neglect, and a raging fire that delivered the final blow.
