Imagine life at a country estate in the 1920’s and 1930’s. At Garth Newel Music Center in Hot Springs, music is the key that unlocks a world of experience. From classical to jazz and more, inspired music-making is just the beginning of all that the Center provides. Gourmet meals, the exquisite Bath County landscape, and some of the most interesting people you will ever meet make each visit a one-of-a-kind experience.

Spend the weekend in this magical place built by the American artist, William Sergeant Kendall and his young wife Christine Herter Kendall. Browse their library, stay in one of the guest rooms and see where the Kendalls painted. Schedule a tour of the estate with one of our volunteers, explore and lose yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding area. Take a short trip to the Jefferson Pools to take the waters or take advantage of the great outdoors!

Our Manor House, one of the two buildings on our property registered as an Historic Landmark, is tastefully decorated and comfortable. On concert days, it is a short stroll to the Concert Hall. The Center also has two cottages available. As a weekend guest, life is casual here; check-in and check-out times are flexible. Continental-style breakfast is provided as you sink into your home away from home. Limited availability. Please call for more information. Discover your happily ever after at Garth Newel.
