The Aristocrat Motor Inn is a historic hotel building at 240 Central Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a large seven-story structure, with a six-story U-shaped tower set on a basically rectangular ground floor. It is finished in glass, brick, and metal, in the Mid-Century Modern style. The tower is organized around a central courtyard, with the interior facades in a sawtooth pattern to maximize light coming into the hotel rooms facing inward. The hotel was built in 1963 by Samuel Kirsch, a local businessman engaged in a variety of pursuits. It was one of the first hotels built along the city's Central Avenue to feature a Modernist exterior. It was operated as a hotel until 1978, and was after converted into low-income housing.^[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.^[1]
