El Paso is full of so much culture and most of that culture is in the buildings that stand tall in Downtown El Paso. However, it’s the beautiful hotels in Downtown El Paso that sometimes make you feel like you’re not in El Paso and that may have a little more history to them that you may not be aware of and this weekend you’ll have a chance to tour a few of those hotels.

“You’ll witness hotel mainstays belonging to familiar brands boasting some of the best views in town, boutique hotels showcasing the local flavor, and even hotels brimmed with an intriguing history.
