The Alcazar Hotel is a historic building in the Cedar-Fairmount district of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The hotel was built in 1923 in the Spanish-Moorish style, based on hotels such as the Alcazar and Ponce de León in St. Augustine, Florida.[3] The interior courtyard, with a covered arcade, is decorated with colored glazed tiles and a central fountain. The architect was Harry T. Jeffery; sculpture, decorative plasterwork, and fountain was done by Fischer and Jirouch. Prominent guests included Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Mary Martin, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Lupe Velez and Johnny Weissmueller. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1979.[4] The Alcazar Hotel is also a Cleveland Heights Landmark.[2]

In 1963, the hotel was sold to Western Reserve Associates, and partially converted into a retirement home, with the remainder still used as a hotel. In September 2014, the Alcazar was purchased by Kirt Montlack Ltd. for $1.3 million.[5] The developer plans to eliminate the lodging units and convert the building to all apartments, with new kitchens and bathrooms. Interiors will be renovated and preserved. There are plans for a restaurant.[6]
