Hotels in El Paso

Olé! El Paso is quite possibly the most Tex-Mex of the major cities in the Lone Star State. On the menu here are multicultural museums, outdoorsy pursuits and some truly epic enchiladas. Rising up from desert flats, the Franklin Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to this borderland cityscape.

Downtown, engage with the impressive regional collection at the (free!) El Paso Museum of Art. Or head out to Mission Trail to trace the history of Spanish-established religious settlements such as Ysleta Mission. For an area overview, don’t miss a Wyler Areal Tramway ride to the 5600ft top of Ranger Peak. Nature lovers, check out Franklin Mountains State Park or go rock climbing 30 miles east at Hueco Tanks Historical Park.

Across the Rio Grande sits the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez. Day-tripping isn’t encouraged, due to crime and violence there, but you can shop for Mexican crafts and custom-made boots on this side of the border. In El Paso, you get the best of two cultures wrapped up in one.
