Hotel Paso Del Norte, a historic El Paso landmark, welcomes guests with an elegant reception area featuring a stunning stained-glass dome and intricate plasterwork, showcasing the grandeur of its storied past. Originally opened in 1912, this iconic hotel was designed by architect Henry Charles Trost and quickly became a symbol of luxury in the city. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, the hotel’s rich history is being honored and enhanced through careful restoration and redesign.
The project will breathe new life into the hotel while preserving its timeless charm. On the 10th floor, the rooftop ballroom will be transformed into an exclusive event space, offering panoramic views of the Franklin Mountains, the historic Rio Grande, and the Mexican border. This space will seamlessly transition into a pool lounge area, complemented by a luxurious full-service spa and state-of-the-art gym, providing guests with an unmatched experience of relaxation and comfort.
The redesign will incorporate local materials such as copper, brass, and burnished leathers to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects El Paso’s unique character. Worn wood finishes will be introduced to balance the rich, metallic accents, drawing inspiration from the natural tones of the surrounding landscape, including the red ochre colors of the Franklin Mountains. These elements will work in harmony to evoke a sense of tradition, while offering modern amenities.
Throughout the hotel, guests will experience the fusion of historic elegance and contemporary luxury. The hotel’s 195 rooms will be redesigned to offer comfort and sophistication, while maintaining the essence of the original structure. The Hotel Paso Del Norte’s restoration ensures that the building’s legacy continues, honoring its place in El Paso’s history while providing a luxurious retreat for modern travelers.
