Tucked into the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains and bordered by Hot Springs National Park, the Gold-Inn is a 19-room boutique motor lodge centered around a charming 1905 manor. This classic setup reflects the character of Park Avenue, a historic neighborhood known for its grand old homes and vintage mid-century motor courts.
Originally owned by Samuel Fordyce, founder of Mountain Valley Spring Water, the property carries a legacy that lives on at the nearby Fordyce Bathhouses, now home to the National Park Visitor Center. From the Gold-Inn, it’s an easy 15-minute stroll to Central Avenue and Bathhouse Row, where the city’s rich spa culture comes to life.
Perfectly positioned for exploring the region, the Gold-Inn is just minutes from local favorites like Oaklawn Racetrack and Casino, Magic Springs Theme and Water Park, and the serene Garvan Woodland Gardens. The inn also offers quick access to the Northwood Trails, featuring over 31 miles of world-class mountain biking routes through forests, hills, and lakeside terrain. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or mountain biking adventurer, the Gold-Inn is an ideal base for discovering Hot Springs’ scenic beauty and vibrant past.
