About 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa

The Crescent opened in 1886 on a mountaintop above the Victorian village of Eureka Springs, designed by St. Louis architect Isaac S. Taylor. It later served as a women's college and, in the late 1930s, as a sham health resort run by Norman Baker, a past the hotel now tells on its ghost tours. Today you can book rooms, suites or cottages, visit the New Moon Spa, and eat in the Crystal Dining Room or at the Skybar pizza spot.
