Art hotel with a European feel and hip vibe. Fabulous art galleries and collection, comfy beds, well located to town center and Crystal Bridges Art Museum. Loved the bar and restaurant and the nicely equipped gymnasium. The problem is the construction out front of the hotel and makeshift platforms over flooded area made it difficult to get into the hotel lobby with suitcases.

Great fun! The art is unique and a nice feature, the restaurant has some of the best food around and the bar is open until midnight. The rooms are wonderful, that bed is so comfortable and the pillows are the best in any hotels I’ve stayed at. I’m always a fan of large walk in showers. The only thing missing is a pool and the parking is quite far from the door, especially with luggage. Still stay here every time I come to Bentonville.

The hotel was very nice and unique because it is an actual museum. The rooms were clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that in front of the property is a major construction site. It is not possible to pull up to the front of the property. Guests must be dropped off and then walk through the construction site along a temporary path to get to the door of the hotel.

The location for this hotel is fantastic for accessing all the trails in the area. The thing that we found disappointing is the hotel does not have a pool. It would be seriously nice to be able to have somewhere to soak after a day of riding. They also have a great bicycle valet service! So handy!

The parking situation was odd since it's only on the street. There are only views of parking lots and roofs in the rooms. Other than that, the hotel was great and the staff very helpful. The Hive was ok. The apps were good but the entrees just ok. I have never had my check brought after dessert was ordered but before dessert was served, so we went elsewhere for an after dinner drink.

We loved the art installation. Very interesting and fun place to stay, within walking distance of Crystal Bridges. People were very nice, The only negative is the lack of a drive up area to offload and load people or bags - especially in the rain.

We enjoyed our stay a great deal. The hotel staff was welcoming and very helpful. They treated us as valued guests and like friends. The hotel is ideally located near the town square and the on the path to the Crystal Bridges museum both were an easy walk from the hotel door. The property was probably the cleanest and best kept hotel we have ever stayed in and that includes some ‘world class’ resorts and hotels. We will certainly go back to Bentonville and definitely stay at the 21C once again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 21c in Bentonville! Such a unique hotel and art museum combination. The staff was very friendly and helpful and our room was amazing! We actually were able to stay in a suite, which I would highly recommend. The suite rooms were spacious, with a full living area, eating area, and huge television. The bedroom also had plenty of room, a super comfy King bed, and a gorgeous bathroom with multiple shower sprays which was so nice. The hotel has a great restaurant, and there were also a ton of dining options within walking distance. We would highly recommend 21c, and plan on staying there the next time we’re in Bentonville.

I travel to Fayetteville multiple times a year to visit my daughters at the University, and I decided to stay in Bentonville this time as we all love the art scene there. 21c did not disappoint! The art exhibits were phenomenal, both playful and thought provoking. Absolutely loved the roving green penguins. Service ranged between super helpful and friendly on one end of the spectrum and snooty and aloof on the other end. Maybe the snooty people were part of an art installation. :)

Perfectly adequate hotel which believes itself to be wonderful. Some staff were delightful. Others were downright off hand. Surprising considering it’s not a cheap option. Food was excellent. Current arrangements with building works make accessing the hotel challenging and car parking on the other side of the building. Free valet service would have been a gesture of recompense but not available.

Terrible check in - no staff available for valet parking, fast check in, helping with luggage. Then front desk staff told me hotel restaurant didn’t serve breakfast until 11am. When I left the hotel to get breakfast elsewhere the next day, I realized the restaurant was, in fact, open. Hotel needs to train the staff.

Great hotel right in the heart of old town Bentonville and within easy walking to Crystal Bridges Museum. They let us check in a couple hours early, the room is spacious and attractive...and very clean. The restaurant downstairs was hopping although we just had a drink at the bar. Everything about this hotel is really nice.

Hotel well located in Bentonville, within walking to the town square, 5 min, with a lot of eating opportunities, and 2min to the trail to the museum, 15min walk. The hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and large with excellent bath facilities. Only issue encountered was being served "cold" eggs, sausage and grits each morning. Dinner was very good. Would stay again, but eat breakfast in town, which we did on day 3!
