A Grand Eureka Springs Hotel: The story behind one of the iconic historic hotels in Eureka Springs…The Grand Central Hotel

The Grand Central was Eureka Springs first brick hotel; built in 1880. In its heyday the Grand Central Hotel received well-to-do visitors from the East who made the journey to discover the healing waters of Eureka Springs. Water from Onyx Spring was piped down from East Mountain to provide running spring water to every floor of the Grand Central. It was a bustling hotel until a major fire near the end of the nineteenth century. It was then that the hotel began a steady decline.
