The Haywood is a modern take on southern life, an ode to the culture, the people, and their stories. Our forward-thinking space is intentional—sleek, vibrant, and open to possibility. Designed for your story to unfold. We are 2 hours from anywhere, in every direction. And we’re proud. We’re a destination. We are intentionally designed for ultimate walkability. Ideally positioned within the celebrated Murphy Arts District and historic downtown El Dorado, The Haywood creates a cultural breezeway through this spirited and energetic community. Everything guests need (and beyond) is within walking distance, from the farmers market to fine dining orchestrated by a Michelin starred chef, a 2-acre family playscape and unparalleled access to arts and entertainment. Above all, our 70-room boutique hotel experience is a respite—for business travelers to unwind, for vacationers to relax, and for locals to get away. The Haywood is a welcoming space with carefully selected amenities that embody relaxation and comfort.

Our unique features include plantation shutters with blackout shades in all rooms, premium floors with upgraded amenities and 2 large one-bedroom suites with two flat screen TVs, dining for 6 and a wet bar. Guests will enjoy amazing artwork throughout the hotel by local and Arkansas artists and unmatched decor throughout the property. Relax in and around our spa pool and fire pit and unwind at The Well bar. Your stay with us will be an experience to remember.
