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. 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.[2]
