The Hornibrook Mansion, built in 1888, stands as a historic landmark celebrated for its extraordinary Queen Anne architecture—one of the finest examples of the style in the nation. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is now best known as The Empress of Little Rock, a beloved tourism icon and thriving Bed & Breakfast that welcomes guests from around the globe. For over two decades, The Empress has been a symbol of hospitality, earning the prestigious AAA 4 Diamond rating and is the only Michelin hotel in the state. With exclusive licensing and permits for use as an event space or intimate wedding venue, the property offers untapped potential for significant revenue growth. The mansion’s unique architectural features—including a divided stairway, a 3 ½-story corner tower, a stained-glass skylight, and octagonal-shaped rooms—showcase the grandeur of late-19th-century design. This expansive property is being offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready to continue operating as a business, or it can be purchased as a furnished private residence. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic and historically significant homes in the South.
