The Alcazar Hotel is a registered historic building in the Cedar-Fairmount district of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, listed in the National Register on 1979-04-17. 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. The interior courtyard, with a covered arcade, is decorated with colored glazed tiles and a central fountain. The architect was Harry T. Jeffery; sculpture was done by Fischer and Jirouch. Prominent guests included Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Mary Martin, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Lupe Velez and Johnny Weissmueller.
In 1963, the hotel was sold and partially converted into a retirement home, with the remainder still as a hotel. The Alcazar Hotel is also a Cleveland Heights Landmark.
