Thirteen of Hot Springs's hotels are individually listed by the NRHP within the city, with more being listed as contributing properties within other districts. Four of Hot Springs' neighborhoods are preserved as historic districts by the [[National Register of Historic Places]], and the city also contains five historically important commercial districts in addition to the aforementioned [[Bathhouse Row]] and [[Central Avenue Historic District (Hot Springs, Arkansas)|Central Avenue Historic District]].

During Hot Springs' heyday, several tourists visiting the city stayed at [[motor court]]s, the precursor to today's hotels. The NRHP recognizes seven of these motels as culturally and historically significant: [[Bellaire Court Historic District]], [[Cottage Courts Historic District]], [[Cove Tourist Court]], [[George Klein Tourist Court Historic District]], [[Lynwood Tourist Court Historic District]], [[Parkway Courts Historic District]], [[Perry Plaza Court Historic District]], and the [[Taylor Rosamond Motel Historic District]].

The [[Fordyce-Ricks House Historic District]] at 1501 Park Avenue includes three buildings on {{convert|37|acre|ha}} formerly owned by [[Samuel W. Fordyce]], a prominent businessman and railroad executive who moved to Hot Springs in 1876. The house and outbuildings are built as log cabins in the [[Adirondack Architecture|Adirondack style]].<ref name="nris" /> The [[Pleasant Street Historic District (Hot Springs, Arkansas)|Pleasant Street Historic District]] along Malvern Avenue (colloquially "Black Broadway") contains 93 contiguous buildings associated with the city's [[African American]] community. Included within the district are the [[Visitors Chapel AME]] church and the [[Woodmen of Union Building]], along with 69 other contributing structures. A variety of architectural styles are used, with many of the structures using brick facades. The [[Quapaw-Prospect Historic District]] contains 233 structures near downtown Hot Springs, with 139 residential houses contributing to the character of the district built between 1890 and 1950 in several architectural styles.<ref name="nris" /> The [[Whittington Park Historic District]] is a residential district lining Whittington Park, a long, narrow park between two one-way streets created by the National Park Service in 1897. The 1896–1960 district contains 60 single-family houses and ten other structures. Predominantly [[American Craftsman|Craftsman]], [[Ranch-style house|ranch]] and [[Queen Anne style architecture in the United States|Queen Anne]]-style buildings, the district is northwest of downtown Hot Springs.

Seven districts in Hot Springs have special historical significance to the city's past economy. In addition to the aforementioned Bathhouse Row and Central Avenue Historic District, the [[Army and Navy General Hospital Historic District]] includes 31 buildings surrounding and supporting the former Army-Navy Hospital. Built in 1933, the six-story brick building built in the [[Spanish Colonial Revival architecture|Spanish Colonial Revival]] style with [[Art moderne|Art Deco]] detailing is the centerpiece of the district, and remains the most imposing figure on the Hot Springs skyline. The [[Forest Service Headquarters Historic District]] encompasses six structures on Winona and Indiana Streets built by the [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] as the headquarters of the Jessieville Ranger District of the [[Ouachita National Forest]]. The [[Hot Springs Railroad Warehouse Historic District]] preserves three brick buildings between the [[Missouri Pacific Railroad]] tracks and Broadway. Almost entirely unaltered, the 1920s structures are associated with the railroad industry, which was extremely important to Hot Springs in the early 20th century. As the city grew during the early 20th century, commercial activity developed along Ouachita Avenue south of Bathhouse Row, today preserved as the [[Ouachita Avenue Historic District]]. Mostly consisting of brick commercial and multifamily buildings, the district maintains the character of an historic commercial area. The 1905 [[Peter Joplin Commercial Block]] building was the only building to survive the 1913 "Black Friday" fire, making it a remnant of early commercial activity on Ouachita Avenue when all contemporary structures have been destroyed.
