Texarkana Attractions

Texarkana is situated in southwest Arkansas, right on the Texas border. It’s all about the state lines here, where you’ll find Texarkana is quite unique in that it straddles two states on either side of State Line Avenue: Arkansas and Texas. You’ll see the one of the most photographed U.S. Post Offices downtown which has a state line running through the middle of the lobby of the building! Visitors are offered an abundance of local culture for art enthusiasts. Explore Texarkana's heritage while visiting the area's historical homes and many museums including Discovery Place, Ace of Clubs House, Four States Auto Museum and the Museum of Regional History. For those seeking an outdoor adventure, you will find this area has no shortage of ways to explore the great outdoors. Spring Lake Park has extensive walking paths, disc golf and sports fields and golfers can play a round at one of the three public and semi-private golf courses.

Guests will discover our hotel is situated perfectly, within minutes, to all of Texarkana’s exciting attractions. We look forward to hosting you as our guest!

Featured Attractions

Ace of Clubs House

The Ace of Clubs House, built in 1885, is an Italianate Victorian home uniquely designed in the shape of a club. As the legend has been told, the money to build the house was from the winnings of a poker game with a lucky draw of the ace of clubs. This house is filled with original furnishings dating from the 1720s through the 1940s and is considered one of the best attractions in the county. Visitors will want to take a guided tour available Tuesday through Sunday.
