5 The Compton
The Compton, a world away but right at home. Opening in fall 2025 on Bentonville’s historic downtown square, The Compton will offer a refined escape that celebrates the authentic character of the Ozarks. More than just a hotel, The Compton is an open invitation to immerse yourself in one of America’s most dynamic small cities.
Inspired by Dr. Neil Compton, the pioneering conservationist who helped preserve the Buffalo National River, this independent hotel embodies his legacy of stewardship and connection to the land. Our location puts you steps from world-class dining, art, and more than 70 miles of celebrated cycling trails.
Every detail at The Compton has been thoughtfully crafted to connect you with the region’s heritage and future. From our locally-inspired cuisine to curated adventures through the hollows and glades of the Ozarks, we offer experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in Northwest Arkansas. Whether you’re here for Crystal Bridges’ latest exhibition, to explore the trail network, or to get down to business, you’ll find yourself at the heart of Bentonville’s vibrant community.
We can’t wait to show you the Ozarks through a local lens. Your adventure begins here.
Training we provide
Every journey begins with a first step. Maybe yours is focused on growing your career in hospitality – climbing the ladder to management, executive team, corporate or beyond. Maybe you want a stable, fulfilling role where you can thrive or, just maybe, you need a gig for now while you complete your education or audition for your big break. No matter where your path takes you, Practice Hospitality respects your journey and has customized our employee experience to support your goals and ambitions.
