The Arizona Hotel is a historic two-story building in Tucson, Arizona. It was built in 1917 for Luke G. Radulovich, an investor.[2] Wells Fargo used to have a branch on the first floor.[2] In the 1970s, the hotel was frequented by prostitutes.[3]

The facade was designed by architect Henry O. Jaastad in the Classical Revival style in 1918, and he redesigned it in 1933.[2] The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 12, 2003.[1]
