Hot Springs, Arkansas is famous nationwide for its famed Bathhouse Row in the historic downtown district but did you know this National Park city was a haven for some of America’s notorious gangsters in the 1920s most notably Al Capone?

Now you can relive that piece of history by staying overnight at Al Capone’s Loft, that’s right, you can sleep in the loft that one of America’s most notorious criminals called home as he was trying to evade law enforcement. Hot Springs, Arkansas was considered a hideout for much of the mob because of the underground tunnels around the city.

The Balcony

Imagine stepping out onto the balcony like Al Capone overlooking Central Avenue and the shortest street in the world Bridge Street, home of the shortest St. Patrick’s Day parade. Al Capone’s Loft is in the heart of the entertainment district with plenty of restaurants, bars, and museums including the Gangster Museum of America which features an Al Capone exhibit.

It was Al Capone that ordered the most famous hit in our history, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929, in which he ordered the assassination of seven rivals.
