Hot Springs is filled with well preserved gangster history. The mob town mecca even has a rentable loft that Al Capone used to sleep at! There’s no better place to immerse yourself in Hot Spring’s checkered past than by staying at this unique loft.
The loft that once housed famed gangster Al Capone has been remodeled as a fantastic Airbnb.
Located in the heart of downtown, Capone's Loft is a one-in-a-million find. The loft can sleep six guests between its two bedrooms and sofa bed. Rates start at $288/night which means you and five friends can stay for under $50/person! For booking information head right here.
This incredible loft is decorated down to the detail and provides guests a relaxing and fun space.
Capone was often seen at the Ohio Club among other gangsters like Lucky Luciano and Bugs Moran. If you'd like to learn more about the state's oldest bar, read our full article "https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/arkansas/oldest-bar-in-the-ar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">right here.

It may be in the same space as Capone's original loft but you won't need to worry about outdated amenities.
Modern conveniences include wifi, heating/air, sleek shower, and pillowy king-sized beds. You'll be right in the middle of Central Avenue which is the gateway to all of Hot Springs' best attractions.
Drink in the view from the balcony like Capone once did or find other ways to relive the romanticized gangster era.
We've mentioned the Ohio Club but other ways to unlock your inner gangster would be to catch a show by local torch singer Sylvia Stems or performance by the Foul Play Cabaret. The Gangster Museum of America and Oaklawn Racing are other mobster draws in the town. For more general information about Hot Springs' gangster history, read this article. Whatever you decide to do, Capone's Loft is an excellent start to any Hot Springs adventure.
