STAY IN THE HEART OF THE
The Oldest Home in Hot Springs, Minutes from Bathhouse Row
Captain George Gray Latta built this house in 1874 for his bride, Fannie Brownlow, a governor's daughter who arrived to find a turret rising above the magnolias. A century and a half later, the house still keeps her secrets: hand-cut trim, wavy glass, and staircases worn smooth by six generations of hands.
More than a bed and breakfast, the Magnolia is a living piece of history being lovingly restored to the grandeur it always deserved. Some places carry a spirit. This is one of them.
HISTORIC LOCATION
From its hill above Whittington Avenue, the Magnolia has watched Hot Springs grow up around it — the bathhouses, the racetrack, the travelers who came for the waters and stayed for the town. Bathhouse Row is minutes away. The veranda, a hundred and fifty years deep in stories, is right outside your door.

GUESTS SAY
We've been going to Hot Springs for years and this place is a jewel! We never had to get in our car for the entire trip.
Heather · Texarkana, TXThe room was gorgeous and took me back in time. We stayed for our first anniversary and it was absolutely amazing.
James · West Monroe, LAComfortable, stylish, and great for a getaway. The hosts were kind, responsive, and helpful. Will stay again.
Gabrielle · Saint James, MOThe perfect location to enjoy Bathhouse Row and yet not be in the midst of the crowds. We walked over to Main Street each day.

THE STORY SO FAR
The house waited a century and a half. Now, season by season, it's coming back — and guests get to be part of it.
A century and a half of weather, wars, and waiting. The bones held. The turret never fell. The house waited for someone to see it.
Suite by suite, season by season: original trim uncovered, floors brought back, two suites open and welcoming guests while the work goes on.
Eight suites. A wedding lawn under string lights. A stage, a Southern kitchen, and a veranda full of people again.
THE VISION
The Majestic Magnolia is being returned to its full glory one room, one story, one season at a time. Coming: a wedding and event venue on the grand curved veranda, a curated pantry and shop, and gardens that give the whole block its evenings back.
