TheLittle Rock Marriott is the largest caterer in the state of Arkansas, offering both on and off premises catering. Our culinary delights will tempt your taste buds and encourage your guests to never leave the hotel. Pancettafeatures prime steaks, fresh seafood, and steaming pasta. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this restaurant has chiseled its niche as one of the most desired restaurants around town. Our hour room service provides guests and tired travelers the luxuries of fine dining within the comfort of their very own rooms.

The Little Rock River Market District is located three blocks east of the hotel with a variety of shops and restaurantsoffering both day and nighttime fun. Connecting to this district, Riverfront Park stretches along the Arkansas River and meanders past our hotels backdoor. The hotel opens directly into Riverfront Park with sidewalks and paths for jogging, walking and biking.

Also on the banks of the Arkansas River (adjacent to the River Market District), the Clinton Center and Park hosts the largest archival collection in American Presidential history.
