Bentonville, Arkansas

Under construction, opening early 2013

Located on the northeast corner of the city’s town square, 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville will support the renewal of downtown Bentonville and serve as an additional catalyst for culture, entertainment and economic growth. Like 21c Louisville, it will be woven into the fabric of downtown, welcoming both visitors and members of the community to experience its rotating exhibitions, participate in its programs and enjoy its culinary offerings. With more than 12,000 square feet of exhibition, meeting and event space, 21c will present curated, rotating exhibitions, dynamic installations and live art events.

The plan features a four-story contemporary building with an active street level presence. With 104 rooms, including suites, the hotel will offer a fitness center and other amenities. The hotel also will feature a restaurant that supports sustainable agriculture and serves contemporary cuisine showcasing locally grown and produced ingredients. Design Architect Deborah Berke & Partners, who created the cutting-edge 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, will collaborate with Little Rock-based firm Polk Stanly Wilcox. The property in Bentonville will be designed, constructed, and operated incorporating green practices and using sustainable materials.
