The Hotel Riceland is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is located on the south-west corner of 3rd Street and South Main Street in downtown Stuttgart, Arkansas.
Construction began in 1919 with the grand opening in 1923.[2] Sadly, the hotel closed in 1970. The luxurious five story hotel was designed by George R. Mann complete with rooftop garden.[3] It is the largest commercial building in Stuttgart.[4]
Duckhunters would flock to the hotel in winter for the annual shoot.[5] Notable guests of the hotel included Ernest Hemingway and Clark Gable.[6]
