Updated: January 7, 2009

The University of Central Arkansas is in talks that could lead to the opening of a hotel on campus. UCA president Lu Hardin says putting a hotel at the Conway school would help both the university and the city. The school is negotiating with a Chicago-based franchisee for Hilton Hotels. The school is looking at approving a hotel with up to 120 beds. The proposal calls for a full-service hotel with a restaurant and a conference room that could hold up to 400 people.
