Plan a Group Escape Where Luxury Meets Fun in Hot Springs
Oaklawn Hot Springs brings people together in all the right ways. It’s the kind of place where a girls’ weekend feels indulgent, a guys’ trip turns into a tradition, and a family reunion finally happens without the stress. Every detail at this retreat is designed to make traveling together effortless, whether the plan is to unwind, celebrate, or chase a little excitement.
Live Thoroughbred racing sets the pace for the season with fast finishes, shared cheers and plenty of reasons to keep the weekend lively. The stands fill with friends catching up, couples sharing a toast, and families taking in the excitement of a day at the track. When the races end, the smoke-free casino keeps the energy up with slots, table games, and a fun atmosphere that lasts well into the night.
The Forbes Recommended Oaklawn Hotel blends comfort and convenience for every type of traveler. Rooms and suites have views of the track or the Ouachita Mountains, creating the perfect balance between activity and relaxation. Astral Spa, Arkansas’ only Forbes Four-Star rated spa, is ideal for bachelorette trips, couple’s getaways, or anyone who wants to slow down between adventures. Guests can relax with massages, facials, and hydrotherapy experiences that make wellness part of the fun.
Dining together is another highlight of any Oaklawn stay. The Bugler and The OAK room & bar are both Forbes Recommended, offering two distinctive ways to gather. The Bugler sets the stage for an elegant dinner with hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and a curated wine list perfect for conversation that lingers. The OAK room & bar delivers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere with craft cocktails, small plates, and delectable mains. For groups on the go, quick options throughout the property make it easy to grab something satisfying without missing a moment.
The Oaklawn Event Center brings even more to the experience with concerts, comedy, and touring acts that add a festive spark to any trip. And for those who like to explore, downtown Hot Springs offers a dose of local charm with boutique shops, art galleries, and the historic Bathhouse Row just minutes away.
Whether it’s a weekend with lifelong friends, a romantic escape, or a chance to reconnect with family, Oaklawn Hot Springs makes it easy to turn time together into something special. With its mix of excitement, comfort and connection, it’s more than a place to visit. It’s a place to share.
