The Crockett Hotel is a hotel in San Antonio, Texas, which overlooks The Alamo, and is a San Antonio historic landmark itself. It was built by the local Oddfellows' Lodge who occupied a portion of the hotel until they sold it in 1978.[2]

Built in 1909,[3] one of three hotels built in downtown San Antonio that year.
Designed by Padgett, it was built with six stories in its main wing, topped by "a cornice with wide modillioned eaves", but a seventh story was added in a 1927 renovation designed by Henry P. Pheltz. There is a rounded corner entrance to the building at Bonham and Crockett streets, and the west facade of the building "is broken into two planes following the configuration of the block."[4]
There was a Davy Crockett Hotel located in Crockett, seat of Houston County, Texas, which operated from 1927 until it was destroyed by a fire in 1972. It was owned by the Crockett Hotel Co. A Texas historic plaque, titled "Site of the Crockett Hotel", marks the site.[5]
