"We invested $12 million to convert this property from a Best Western to a Holiday Inn hotel and are pleased with the end result," said John Hirt, general manager. "Little Rock is a well-traveled market for tourism and business travel and a perfect fit for the Holiday Inn product." 

The newly renovated Holiday Inn hotel is owned by Carpenter Hotel Group, LLC, and managed and licensed by affiliates of Six Continents Hotels, Inc. 
"Holiday Inn hotels are specifically designed for business and family oriented leisure travelers, in need of a full service lodging experience," said Mark Snyder, senior vice president, brand management, Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts. "Development in the Little Rock area is important in expanding our Holiday Inn consumer base and establishing a strong presence in prime business and tourist locations." 

Situated in the heart of downtown Little Rock, the new 10,000 square-foot hotel is just minutes from the Rivermarket District, Presidential Center Library and Park, Alltel Arena, Ark Arts Center and MacArthur Museum and Park. Located across the street from the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, the Holiday Inn-Downtown Little Rock-Presidential Conference Center has been named the anchor hotel for the facility.

Completely renovated from top to bottom, the Holiday Inn-Downtown Little Rock-Presidential Conference Center's lobby boasts imported Mexican granite tile, and mahogany touches that are present throughout. All guestrooms have upgraded cased goods, including down pillows.

The hotel is located at 600 Interstate 30, Little Rock, Ark., 72202; telephone: (501) 375-2100; facsimile: (501) 374-9045.
