We stayed at the Bentonville 21C for 7 days and 6 nights over the Thanksgiving week in a King room on the 3rd floor. The service was excellent. Housekeeping came once upon our specific request about halfway through our stay. They replenished everything in the room and it was flawless. We utilized room service about 3 times, and everything in the room itself was in good, working condition. We loved taking in all the art, and had a wonderful meal at The Hive. I used the gym with my mask on, but I was alone in there each time. Every employee at the front desk was helpful, and genuinely friendly. This hotel took health & safety seriously, which was very important to us while traveling during the pandemic. I appreciate the staff enforcing masks, social distancing, and frequently cleaning. The only thing that left me scratching my head was the lack of an automatic or rotating door at the front, and an overhang or circle drive to load and unload from. It was a bit awkward bringing in our luggage in the rain with no cover, and having to hold the heavy doors open. Also, I would love to have a keycard entry to the south side gate and door near the basketball sculpture. This is where we took our dog out to potty, but we always had to go back around to the front door to get back into the hotel. Definitely a couple of design flaws in an otherwise wonderful place. Still 5 stars!

We stayed here in September 2020 for 2 nights, including the night of our wedding. The staff was super friendly and went above and beyond to make it special for us! The room was beautiful. The bar closes too early (9pm), but that may just be a COVID thing. Would definitely come back! Thank you guys so much!

Wonderful hotel with amazing restaurant! The hotel provides a great place to stay and walk to Crystal bridges and all restaurants and bars close by. No need to drive anywhere, you are steps away from everything. The restaurant is the best in town in regards to fine dining. With countless awards for the chef you cannot choose a bad item on the menu. Highly would recommend to everyone and anyone to stay at 21c.

Positive: Uniqueness Negative: No

Spacious rooms, great service and a museum in the hotel... Whats not to like. We visited during Covid-19 and felt very confident that the hotel was taking every possible measure to make us feel safe and comfortable. Its a bonus that there is a connecting trail to Crystal Bridges museum thats 0.5 mile from here. Also proximity to all the other restaurants (besides the Hive) that are on the square make it a great place to stay.

I came during the 2 highest outbreak days in AK for Covid. The hotel had excellent harm reduction practices in place to prevent the spread. In addition, the service and politeness of the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend staying here.

Stopped by to try a Bitter Smile at The Hive. It was so good we had another. That one was so good were coming back tomorrow night for dinner!

Heaven.Beautiful rooms and of course museum. The museum is closed to the public but not to guests. Amazing bedding and furnishings. So clean and beautiful. Amazing soundproofing! Didn’t hear anyone else at all during our whole stay. Didn’t want to leave the room!Fantastic location - near the Square and walking distance to the Crystal Bridges trail and museum as well as the Momentary museum.Wonderful staff - very polite and great recommendations for dining and things to do even in the rain!Free parking for guests.Would not stay anywhere else when in town!

Great staff and service. The bed was not too soft or fluffy, which was nice. Room was spacious. There was a green penguin in the room to great us. The art throughout the first floor is interesting and the hotel bar/restuarant makes great cocktails and has a great environment. Great stay all around.

If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s withing walking distance of all the great foodie spots in town, the 21c Museum and Hotel is the perfect place to stay! It is right in the heart of downtown Bentonville, Arkansas, so when you’re there you’re within walking distance of many restaurant, shops, boutiques, and more! It was a really unique experience staying in a hotel that is so much more than a typical hotel. Every room has been carefully designed, every floor has art displayed by local artists, and the hotel lobby has a full museum in it, so you never really know where the hotel stops and the museum begins – you actually become part of the hotel when you stay here. And, of course, the green penguins can’t be missed – the morning we checked out, the elevator doors opened and we found a 4 foot tall lime green penguin staring us straight in the face – so fun!

I loved my stay at 21c! The art is fun and always so interesting. The room service was great!

Location & art amazing! The hive drinks and food amazing. The problem...room was so hot! Every time we came back to the room the thermostat was off. We biked 20 miles and we were ready to cool off...our room temp was 78-80 degrees 3 times we came back and took 20-30 min to cool off. Same at night and waking up In the morning. Not a fan of hot rooms at all.

The Future Is Female, the current exhibition, was a treat. I was very impressed with the scope of the exhibition. It featured a variety of 2 and 3-dimensional artwork by female artists from all over the world. It also featured video installations and fabric works. A must-see if you are in Bentonville.

This place will ruin other hotels for you its so nice. Art is everywhere! Excellent service. Eco friendly. Dog friendly. Great location for checking out some of Bentonvilles top attractions within walking distance.

Very pleasant and helpful staff great facility excellent food Felt safe and with good sanitation

Great place. There are unique piece of arts here. The hotel seems to be pretty good too. There are a few statues that are great to take pictures with and the place is so clean. Staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend !

We enjoyed 21C for our New Years Eve stay. The service is top-notch and rooms are great -- new, good-sized and the beds and showers (in particular) are top notch! Awesome location for downtown Bentonville activities and walking distance to several great restaurants. The only drawback for us was the lack of a standard mini-fridge & microwave in the room, which would have been a must for a more extended stay. Otherwise, the hotel (and associated art gallery) rocks!

Generous sized rooms, nice staff, very good restaurant. Definitely the place to stay when you are in Bentonville.

People were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was excellent and very comfortable. Very restful stay and location was close to good restaurants.

We really love staying here. The art installations make each visit new. The Hive restaurant is comfortable and accommodating. The rooms are clean, modern, and private. The pressure in our shower was low, this time. Otherwise 5 stars!

Excellent hotel that provided a comfortable uplifting experience surrounding me and my wife with an enriching art experience. The location was perfect, the room was perfect, the art was available at every time and place. We were constantly engaged and this hotel is a perfect destination in itself. Artfully equipped and located it is a massage for the intellect and the imagination.The room was ultra comfortable, clean, and filled with spirit. Thank you 21c creators, managers, staff, visitors, artists, and all involved in creating this brand.

This is the only 21C hotel that is newly built. All their other properties are historic bldgs that have been renovated. Although this one offers great service and interesting art, I couldn’t get over how “Marriot-like” the whole experience ended up being. Nevertheless, the best hotel in Bentonville.

This Hotel was unique with the Art display. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was nice, friendly and helpful. The only thing we didnt like was that the parking was in the back. And there is no entrance to the building from the back.

I havent been a guest in the hotel. I simple came to view the art. It was worth the time. The exhibit on refugees, those displaced by circumstances beyond their control, is simple stunning. I particularly like the idea portrayed by some of the exhibits that not all refugees are displaced physically. Sometimes our circumstances displace us mentally, emotionally or even spiritually, leaving us wandering, barely alive, in strange and hostile territory, while the world moves on around us as if we didnt exist.

Interesting and beautiful hotel. The art is thought provoking and well curated. I cant wait to visit more 21c hotels.

Cool lobby...worth a walk through. Tried to eat in the restaurant but it took 15 min to set up our table of 5 - with only 8 other people in the whole place. Ended up walking out. Glad we did - went to Oven & Tap instead (it was great).

Whats not to love here? Friendly, efficient staff who love to share their passion for Bentonville. Super cool hotel with art throughout. Nicely appointed rooms without the canned, corporate feel.

Awesome place- lots of art- exquisite rooms- huge, clean. Fun place. Restaurant was very good. Bar tender has dkills

Nice to visit unique art exhibits

This hotel is a new construction, unlike the other 21c properties, so its really only a 4.5. Its missing character and loftiness and history but its still an amazing place.The art tour with Dayton was AMAZING 11/10 would go again today at 5 if I could.The staff were very helpful.The rooms were immaculate and really fun. Could use some more art in the rooms... But I always think that at 21c.

Celebrated our 25th Anniversary there this week. Fun upscale hotel with a laid back vibe. Great restaurant, rooms, amenities, and stellar staff. Rotating art on display throughout the hotel. Walking distance to town square shopping, restaurants and Crystal Bridges Museum.

Really nice room, great staff, perfect location

Outstanding Art, service, food, drink. All wonderful and in very comfortable atmosphere

The art here is really cool and the room was perfect. Its also within walking distance from the crystal Bridges museum which is a must if you are in Bentonville.

A unique hotel with an interesting museum

Outstanding! Definitely will return! The restaurant was first class. The service is top notch. In my opinion they could have more covered parking for non-valet.

My husband and I went to the 21C museum only. There is the weirdest art with an extreme liberal viewpoint. The art is displayed and changed out occasionally . Since I enjoy bizarre artwork we will visit again. Still need to eat at restaurant in hotel.

Love staying here. The Hive is a great restaurant with a fabulous bar. If the weather is nice, the walk to the Crystal Bridges Museum is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Service and cleanliness is tip top. A little froufrou but what would you expect in an art museum.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Convenient to museum and restaurants. Dog friendly. Attentive staff. Will be back.

This hotel its pretty cool! Has nice artwork inside, has a bar on the first floor that you can visit even if you dont stay at the hotel. Great breakfast ! One of the best place in the area!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. The artwork was touching and inspiring. The staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The Hive is pricy but had excellent food in reasonable portions and also had excellent staff. I highly recommend this experience.

Clean modern rooms. Spacious hive the bar in the facility is amazing food is really good and the hive and dime is one of the best drinks you can get while you cruise the gallery

Excellent hotel located in a great part of the city

The art in the hotel is amazing. The staff is amazing. The hive (restaurant) is amazing. Rooms are clean, simple, contemporary vibe. The only thing I would change is mini fridge and microwave in room would be nice. But, apparently you can request one upon check in but its not written anywhere so you would never know that. Staff told us at checkout. The green penguins popping up everywhere is creepy but fun! I want that job!!!!

One of the best hotel experiences in my life. The service was extremely attentive and the museum motif is unique further helped us to relax. I highly recommend 21c.

Great food, amazing atmosphere

The “Vibe” was perfect!!!! I loved the art. The staff was amazing . I didn’t want to leave

A nice surprise. First time to visit Bentonville during our trip to Univ of Arkansas this weekend. 21c Museum Hotel is very clean and very chic. Great gym. Very close to Compton Gardens - just a short walk. I’ll definitely stay here again.

I loved the museum on the first floor, as well as the art all around the property. The staff were very accommodating to our needs with switching our room and holding our mountain bikes.We will definitely stay again!

This was my first time staying at a 21c hotel though I was familiar with the original hotel in Louisville. It is a unique concept, incorporating a boutique hotel with a working art museum. I did not fully understand how it worked worked until Dayton, the museum manager explained it to us during our tour of the current art collection. Dayton is great at explaining the art to guests who may or may not have much knowledge of contemporary art. Personally, I had a much better understanding and appreciation of the collection after his insightful tour.Hotel 21c is a luxury hotel but not in the traditional sense. The Modern interiors are stunning! Every aspect of the hotel’s design has been thoroughly thought out and is maintained flawlessly. The staff is one of the friendliest and most professional that I have encountered in a long time. Everyone from the Thor-like doorman who works the day shift, to the men and women working at the front desk, to all the servers in the Hive; basically everyone I encountered working at the hotel could not have been more helpful and friendly. There is absolutely no sense of pretense from any of the staff members, something that is unique and refreshing about the vibe of 21c.The rooms are beautifully furnished and everything you might need away from home is there if you need it. I was given a room upgrade by the gentleman who checked me in and I could not have been happier with my room and its view of downtown Bentonville.The hotel is a little bit pricey compared to what I usually pay for when I travel but it was well worth the extra expense. I had a wonderful experience at Hotel 21c that I will not soon forget and look forward to going to some of the other hotels in the near future.

While I unfortunately couldnt stay at the hotel, I was able to visit the gallery downstairs and experience the beautiful architecture of the building. The staff was friendly - the valets let me park my electric scooter out front and the staff inside gave me a map and pointed to where the local James Turrell Skyspace was at down the street. Highly recommend checking this place out if youre in town!

Had a blast, friendly service and gorgeous, cool, clean, modern!

Great hotel and location. Friendly hospitality. James Beard chefs rocked at BiteNWA. Hive was wonderful and on point with Chef Matt. Loved the Future of Women.

Great hotel, how cool is to stay at a museum?

Positive: Well designed; manicured, and extremely clean. Was so easy to make ourselves comfortable. Negative: I would have preferred to have a mini fridge for personal things rather than an expensive mini bar in our room although it was a nice asthetic.

This visit was for the art walk and the exhibits were wonderful.

I loved that the art gallery in the hotel is open 24 hours, great bar and restaurant, comfortable rooms and great staff. The place to stay when visiting Crystal Bridges Museum. Short walk to downtown and the original Waltons 5 and 10 store.

Hotel seems pleasant and modern with tolerable staff, until you actually try to sleep here. The incredibly forceful, and by extension, loud, bathroom fans do not turn off! So here I am at 12:41 am, wide awake, with a headache from the fan noise, regretting the day that I ever set foot in this hotel. Desperate and sleepless at 21c.

Clean, unique and artsy space. Great lounge, great restaurant (ask for Britt), comfy and updated rooms. Great value.

This place is so peaceful and comfortable. The courtesy and consideration of the staff is top notch. Big bonus is the art installation that changes.

Very nice place!

I live in Bentonville, so I havent stayed in the hotel, but I have been to many amazing events. These pictures are from an exhibit called The Future is Female.

Wonderful concept, thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Really a unique experience. I had a customer fly in on a private jet and his company booked him at 21 c. That day there was an event that blocked traffic to the hotel, but the staff was great and got me close to the front door so the customer was able to check in.

I like the overall experience of 21C. Proximity to the Bentonville square and Crystal Bridges is especially nice.

Great place. Nice rooms, friendly staff!

We were in one of the Deluxe rooms and it was clean, quiet, and well maintained. The hotel staff were friendly, and checkin fast. Electric car charging free to guests, just had to ask the staff to power them up for me. Within walking distance from the little shops and local restaurants.

Such a great overall experience. The staff and customer service was outstanding! Walking distance to Crystal Bridges. I will definitely be back in the future.

Great location and service. Room was extremely clean and nothing was broken. Nespresso was on our room as complementary.

Gallery was great addition to hotel. Food was delicious!

Fantastic place to stay. Great location and great service!!!

Was there for the Bentonville film festival and really enjoyed it. The art displays are very well done and a pleasant experience to view. The club is a great place to stop in and relax for a while. Bathrooms are spotlessly clean as well.

Wasnt able to book reservation. They were very rude and not helpful at all. System was down and didnt bother to call me back.

Incredible rooms. Beautiful lobby with art everywhere.

Great place, with an art gallery attached. Very good restaurant and feel throughout.

Great rooms, art EVERY where, super friendly and helpful staff. Oh yeah, the food at The Hive was delicious!

Awesome experience!!

Not as good as OKC 21C but still pretty cool!

Lovely spot for late night drinks and nibbles! Really chill vibe with fantastic cocktails. Service can be a little slow, so definitely try to flag down someone if you need anything!

Lovely, beautiful, & elegant. What a wonderful sight that tugs at the curiosity of the mind. The food is fabulous and the atmosphere is engaging. We will definitely be coming back. A Bentonville staple that you must check out!

Food and art in unison.

Great hotel. Unique room experience. Great staff. Clean. Comfortable. We love staying here when we are in Bentonville. Conveniently located to great restaurants, food trucks, delicious coffee and of course an easy, scenic stroll down beautiful trails to Crystal Bridges.

Fabulous art in the lobby! Very friendly staff. Great restaurant.

Food was amazing

Very pleasent, clean, reasonably priced hotel. The staff bends over backwards to make you feel like one of the family. We have been to many five star hotels. This was a five star experiance from beginning to end.

This was a top-notch hotel with great contemporary art.

Great hotel with amazing art and walking distance to downtown and adjacent to miles if mountain biking trails

Awesome art exhibits that rotate every 6 months

I havent stayed as a guest, but I visit the 24/7 art exhibit. It is a neat place to visit. Id recommend visiting. At the moment there is an amazing sand table in their exhibit.

This place is weird. No entry from the parking garage to the hotel. You have to walk through the garage around to the front of the building. Two guys spend all day opening the front doors for guests. I think thats all they do.?? Strange pictures on the wall. Fridge in the room is completely full of junk with a price list. No room for our own stuff. Tiny TV for such a large suite room. No sink other than in bathroom. No microwave. Other than that, its a really nice hotel and the room was clean. The front desk folks were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown, stores, eateries, and the trail system.

It is a unique property - the clean lines of the architecture and furniture are very pleasing to the eye. The overall feel of 21c is calm and progressive with fun, quirky surprises throughout.

We stayed at 21c a little over a year ago and had a wonderful time. We just visited Bentonville again, this time with a baby, so we rented a place elsewhere but if we didnt have a baby we would have stayed at 21c again. The room was beautiful, spacious, with lots of light. The art in the museum is very cool to check out, in fact even if you dont stay at the hotel you can go see the art, so we did that with the baby today. Highly recommend 21c.

This hotel is simply amazing! From the time you step onto the property you are surrounded by fabulous works of art. The front desk is simple so it blends effortlessly in the walls so that the artwork takes center stage. The location is close to the Crystal Bridges museum, great food and other fabulous finds! I can’t wait until I can go back...it’s definitely worth the price!

Excellent rooms, cool art, great bar, above average restaurant.

This is hands down the nicest hotel in Bentonville. I love staying near the square, close to restaurants and the neighborhood market as I’m a business traveller who doesn’t bring a car. The hive has a good atmosphere with good drinks (I do not recommend the food). Staff and service at the hotel are excellent

Loved this hotel. Its full of great art and very comfortable.

My first time staying here and it was amazing!

Can only comment on the gallery thats inside, definitely worth a walk around. A mix of whimsical art & some bit deeper works as well. The interior of the restaurant is neat as well.

Posh and elegant. Having the art displayed around the building is a great touch. Rooms are spacious and clean with small touches to add charm.
