21c Museum Hotel In Bentonville, Arkansas: What It’s Like and Why You Need to Stay

January 21, 2019 in Travel

I had the chance to stay at the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville, Arkansas, during a fun press trip to the Crystal Bridges Art Museum.

If you absoutely love art, sleep and penguins, keep reading because 21c is just the place for you!

The Future is Female Exhibit & Lobby Gallery

The best part about 21c is the fact that it is actually a museum. While we were there, the art exhibit was called “The Future is Female” and featured some amazing work from female artists.

Elevate

Before you even enter you room, the corridors leading to them are art exhibits as well. One piece that I found interesting on my floor, depicted the beating of Rodney King.

The graphic figures in Hubert Neal Jr.’s paintings enact stark representations of both violent conflict as well as a gesture of peaceful reconciliation. An artist of Belizean descent, Neal’s symbolic, confrontational images deal plainly with all-too-common instances of conflict between African American men and law enforcement, while also offering inspiration and hope for social progress as it relates to race in America.

I love how 21c Bentonville uses this opportunity to feature prominent artists from the area/region in their hotel. All of the art exhibited through the Elevate exhibition is contemporary pieces. So while there was some I didn’t understand (like the couch), pieces like this evoked a lot of emotion from me, and I absolutely loved it.

The Rooms

The rooms are in my opinion, top of the line and have the feel of a five star hotel (which it honestly should be!). My first night I stayed in a luxury king, which was gorgeous and spacious, however, for my second night I was upgraded to a king suite; and oh my goodness..it was amazing!

My favorite place was of course the bathroom, which was to die for! You can imagine that as a mom of five, my lone bathroom time was very few and far between. Having this amazing bathroom to myself for a few days was an absolute dream.

The Food

The Hive was an amazing restaraunt inside the hotel. My favorite was The Hive burger. I ordered it 3 times while there. For breakfast, I of course enjoyed the Hive Breakfast. Not only did I get to enjoy The Hive food downstairs in the resturaunt, I was able to enjoy it as room service!

Bentonville

Bentonville, Arkansas has so much to offer! Outside of this beautiful hotel, you have an amazing town, with a city feel. I will have another post detailing the fun things to do and see in Bentonville!
