Over 100 Years of History in Downtown El Paso

Since its grand debut on Thanksgiving Day in 1912, Hotel Paso Del Norte has stood as one of downtown El Paso's most beloved landmarks. Lavishly designed by renowned architect Henry Trost, the "million-dollar hotel" was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Home to 351 luxury rooms and suites, the hotel sits less than a mile from the Mexico international border — a living symbol of three converging cultures, a storied past, and an exciting future.

After decades of storied history, Hotel Paso Del Norte has been gloriously restored to its former grandeur. The reinvented hotel blends the elegance of a bygone era with thoughtfully modern touches — from innovative guest rooms and a vibrant rooftop pool to world-class dining and re-imagined event spaces. At its heart, the century-old Dome Bar anchors the experience with its breathtaking 25-foot Tiffany-style stained glass dome.
