The Crescent Hotel

The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was built in 1886 and is recognized as a historic hotel. Over its history the building has served multiple institutional roles: originally constructed as a hotel, it later housed the Crescent College and Conservatory for Young Women, returned to hotel use, operated as a hospital and health resort, and was subsequently restored for use again as a hotel. It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the National Trust for Historic Preservation's program.
