Stay downtown

Hotel Paso del Norte

Downtown

The 1912 landmark — the one with the Tiffany stained-glass dome over the bar — restored and reopened as an Autograph Collection hotel.

• The dome is the single most beautiful room in El Paso, and you can sit under it with a drink.
• Steps from the Plaza Theatre, the convention center and San Jacinto Plaza.

Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park

Downtown

A 1930 Art Deco tower that sat empty for decades, restored top to bottom and reopened as a hotel with a rooftop bar.

• The best rooftop view of downtown and the mountains in the city.
• A genuine preservation story — this building was nearly lost.

Hotel Indigo El Paso Downtown

Downtown

A 1917 building converted into a boutique property, a few blocks from the ballpark.

• Walkable to Southwest University Park and Union Plaza.
• Mid-price downtown, which is a short list.

The Stanton House

Downtown

A small, design-forward downtown hotel with an art collection and a rooftop.

• The most style-conscious room in the city.
• Small enough that the service is personal.

The Gardner Hotel

Downtown

Open since 1922 and the oldest continuously operating hotel in El Paso, with hostel-style rooms alongside private ones.

• Cheap, central, and full of history — John Dillinger stayed here.
• The budget downtown option that is not a compromise on location.

Basic by design. Come for the price and the history, not the amenities.

Ardovino's Desert Crossing

Sunland Park, New Mexico

A handful of rooms on the desert compound at the state line, with the restaurant and the Saturday market downstairs.

• Wake up to the mountains and walk to breakfast.
• The quiet, out-of-town option that is still 15 minutes from downtown.

It is in New Mexico. Plan for a short drive to anything in El Paso.
