Where you stay during your travels is kind of a big deal, and these NTA-member, Arkansas-based lodging options live up to those expectations:
Doubletree by Hilton Fort Smith
This option is connected to the Fort Smith Convention Center right in downtown. It’s an ideal spot for business gatherings, with its 57,000-square-feet of meeting space, and it’s a 10-minute drive from Fort Smith Municipal Airport. Guests can see a five-story waterfall in the center of the atrium-style hotel from their interior balconies.

The Lodge at Mount Magazine
The lodge sits on the mountain’s south bluff with views of the Petit Jean River Valley and Blue Mountain Lake. It also overlooks the state park system’s most dramatic location for technical rock climbing. The lodge features 60 rooms, the Skycrest Restaurant, and a conference center as well as 13 cabins and 18 campsites.
