(BPT) - In the rolling foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, Oaklawn Hot Springs has evolved into something far bigger than its storied racing roots. Long synonymous with the thrill of Thoroughbred racing, the destination now stands as Arkansas' most complete luxury resort — a distinction once again affirmed with its inclusion in the 2026 Forbes Travel Guide and Star Awards for the third consecutive year.
That continued recognition places Oaklawn Hot Springs among a rare group of resorts worldwide, evaluated through Forbes Travel Guide's anonymous, in-person inspection process. The Forbes Travel Guide depicts the hospitality industry's gold standard. More importantly, it reinforces Oaklawn's position as the state's premier resort destination, where thoughtful design, elevated service and a sense of place come together.
