A landmark Arkansas hotel frequented by Al Capone and other mobsters is in jeopardy of closing.

Mounting concerns over safety issues at the Arlington Hotel and Spa in Hot Springs has pushed the city of Arlington to put the hotel management on notice- be in compliance by November, or face a forced closure.

The historical hotel was a favorite of Capone's. He frequented the hotel so often in the 1930s that the Chicago mobster had his own suite, still known among some guests as 'Al's Suite.'

But the aging hotel's exterior plaster could fall off and whack pedestrians below.

'The plaster is cracked and could come loose, especially during the freeze-and-thaw cycle this winter,' Chief Building Official Mike Scott said.

Mike Scott told the Sentinel the city wants the issues corrected before outdoor temperatures drop below freezing.

'There's bricks with cracks and separation that water can get behind. When it freezes, it causes things to heave outward. Some of this stuff could fall off.'

The city has already temporarily closed 47 hotel rooms because of electric violations and other issues discovered during an inspection this month.

The hotel also must remedy numerous fire code violations found by the Hot Springs Fire Department.

The hotel is over 100 years old. The city says maintenance isn't keeping up with deterioration

Fire Chief Ed Davis said the department's recent inspection was a follow-up from April.

'The Arlington is almost 100 years old, and it's at a point now to where the level of maintenance that is going on isn't keeping up with the deterioration,' Davis said.

City Manager David Frasher said poor condition of the hotel's exterior forced the city to act.
