21c Museum Hotel Bentonville

We paid over 500 dollars a night for a deluxe King...what a joke! Regular sized room. Small TV on a stand. No large TV on the wall (get with the times!). No microwave. No liner in the trash cans so you can't dispose of take home food. Nothing that would make this room stand out from a room at a Marriott. Do NOT waste your money! I gave 2 stars because the staff was friendly and due to location.

This is a beautiful, well-appointed hotel with excellent staff and a very cool vibe. Great bedding, towels and robes. One of the best dinners we've had in a long time at their restaurant. Also enjoyed drinks and cheese plate in the bar, as well as their gallery of very interesting art. Perfect location as a home base for visits to the Crystal Bridges Museum and arboretum, Saturday morning farmers market, and other restaurants. Expensive and worth it.

This is a modern "hip" hotel with a funky art twist. The rooms a clean spacious and comfortable. Large well appointed bathroom. The staff are helpful and efficient. The onsite restaurant/bar offers small plates, entrees, along with a great list of cocktails that are well made and nicely presented. Was there for a conference so did not explore much around the town but there appears to be a lot of restaurants, shops, and bars within easy walking distance. The Crystal Bridges museum is about a 15-20 minute walk on well maintained trails (these a extensive and easy to access). It is about 30 from the XNA aiprot via rideshre.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Hotel staff is friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our room was comfortable and just right. The lime penguin waiting to greet us in 213 was affectionately named “Samuel” and we may or may not have penguinnapped a hall penguin we named “Penelope” to keep him company. And the art…it’s such a delight. Everywhere you look, there’s something beautiful to behold. Highly recommend the 21c Museum Hotel to anyone visiting Bentonville.

Is this hotel nice? Yes, it definitely is. Comfortable, stylish, well-located right on the square, good restaurant/bar with room service, etc. It's clearly the #1 hotel in all of Bentonville. And it has penguins. But can you really in good conscience pay what for me was nearly $400 a night with taxes in Bentonville? I didn't pay myself as on a business trip, which I would assume drives a lot of the traffic here...but seriously this is just unnecessary. Across the square from the original Five and Dime and of course like everything else around invested by the family...it's just too much. Just stay somewhere else and take an uber back and forth. If you're coming to Bentonville to stay in a trendy hotel, why? Save the money next time and stay in a better hotel somewhere where it's really more worth it.
