Robinwood Bed & Breakfast takes you back to another era - one of elegance, style and grace.

You might say Robinwood is where Frank Lloyd Wright meets High Def TV and wireless Internet! Located in the Quapaw Quarter Historic District in downtown Little Rock, the classic front porch offers a great way to wile away an afternoon. Inside our two sunrooms are bright, cheerful and comfortable and the upstairs sunroom offers a commanding view of the neighborhood. |
nightlife of today not far away. Have the best of BOTH worlds at Robinwood Bed and Breakfast.

In 1913, America was enjoying the opening of the Panama Canal, Grand Central Station in New York and Henry Ford's new invention, the moving assembly line. In Little Rock, J. Rodgers Young, owner of the Hotel Main built a Prairie-style home inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. Today Robinwood Bed and Breakfast is one of the few examples of the Prairie-style in Little Rock. This home features a horizontal roofline that contrasts from the extreme vertical lines of the Victorians and the rooms were designed to flow smoothly into each other. Our large living room features two marble fireplaces with gas logs and opens into the dining room with our magnificent 10 seat dining table. Outside the sprawling, wrap-around porch is the perfect place to sit and watch the neighborhood go by. Sunrooms fill the house with southern light on two floors. Guests can enjoy breakfast in the lower sunroom while the second floor sunroom offers a bird's eye view of the neighborhood. |
