Velvet Attic Boutique Offers a Fresh Perspective on Downtown 

Ann Smith & Melodi Cone invite you to climb the steps to their boutique. 

Some of the best discoveries in Hot Springs aren’t found on a map – they’re found when you look up. Perched on the second floor of a historic downtown building at 800 Central Avenue, The Velvet Attic Boutique offers visitors a shopping experience that feels a little different from the ordinary. 

Located across from Bridge Street, the boutique has become known not only for its carefully curated fashion, accessories, gifts, and children’s selections, but also for its unique vantage point overlooking some of downtown’s most memorable moments. 

From concerts and festivals to parades and community gatherings, the windows of The Velvet Attic provide a front-row seat to the energy of downtown Hot Springs. Visitors often arrive in search of something special and leave with both a purchase and a story. 

The boutique’s inviting atmosphere blends modern style with the character and charm of the historic district. It’s the kind of place where shopping feels less like an errand and more like part of the downtown experience. And while the stairs may require a little extra effort, locals and visitors alike seem to agree: some things are worth the climb. 

Whether you’re spending the day exploring Hot Springs or you’re a longtime resident looking for something new, The Velvet Attic Boutique offers a fresh perspective – on fashion, on downtown, and perhaps even on the city itself. 

After all, the view from the second floor is pretty remarkable.
