What started as great has become magnificent. The historic 1939 Robinson Center’s lavish $70 million renovation has made it the crown jewel for performances, meetings and events of all types in Little Rock.

DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE DOUBLETREE BY HILTON LITTLE ROCK

You can walk directly from your accommodations at the DoubleTree by Hilton Little Rock into Robinson Center, making it easy to catch the next performance or the next breakout session. The two facilities share an underground parking garage for even more ease and convenience.

MEETING AND CONVENTION SPACE

With seven room configurations totaling nearly 25,000 square feet overlooking the Arkansas River, Robinson Center can accommodate a wide range of meeting and convention needs. The 7,135 square foot ballroom and 5,477 square foot terrace offer stunning views of the river and Little Rock’s lighted bridges.

PERFORMANCE HALL

The 2,222 seat performance hall has been designed for optimum acoustics and optics. Comfortable seats and full bar service make great performances – and intermissions – even better.

What Meeting Professionals Say

“The renovation of Robinson Center was exactly what our event needed. Having our event in the downtown area offered our families a lot of restaurant options and entertainment in the downtown River Market area. The convenience of the venue, hotel and meeting space was a huge plus because almost all of our guests flew into Little Rock for the event.”

"I brought the International Master Gardener Conference to Little Rock in 2007, and there was some resistance from the board – some wanted to go to Las Vegas. I rallied, and once they came they were amazed. It is still considered one of the best – if not THE best – ever Master Gardener conferences. We went to Las Vegas two years later and it was a bust. Everyone that had been in Little Rock wished they were back in Little Rock."

“Little Rock has so much to offer and the opportunities continue to grow with new additions coming to the city on a regular basis. The attractions, restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues in the River Market District – along with the walkability of downtown – make this area perfect for people flying in for meetings and conferences.”
