Set in the heart of Hot Springs, Ark., Oaklawn combines the energy of a standout destination with the convenience and service planners need to host successful events. What began as one of the South’s most legendary racing venues has evolved into a dynamic resort experience, offering a fresh take on meetings, conventions, retreats, and special events.
Groups can gather in more than 18,000 square feet of flexible event space, accommodating everything from small executive meetings to large conventions and receptions for up to 1,500 guests. Oaklawn’s experienced onsite team, advanced audiovisual capabilities, and customizable setups help make planning smooth from start to finish.
Beyond the meeting space, Oaklawn gives attendees plenty to enjoy once the sessions end. The property’s seven-story, Forbes Recommended hotel features 200 upscale guest rooms and scenic views of the racetrack and surrounding mountains. Guests can relax at The Astral Spa—the only Forbes Four-Star-rated spa in Arkansas—connect over exceptional dining in one of our two Forbes Recommended restaurants, or enjoy the excitement of the 24/7 smoke-free casino. During racing season, live Thoroughbred racing brings an added thrill to the experience.
Oaklawn’s Hot Springs location allows attendees to explore everything from charming shops to restaurants to beautiful lake and mountain scenery. The result is a meeting experience that feels productive, polished, and genuinely enjoyable across the board.
Meetings feel less routine and more rewarding at Oaklawn Hot Springs. For planners and attendees alike, it’s a destination that feels easy to choose and hard to forget.
