Camino Real Hotel Review

El Paso's finest hotel -- and one of a handful downtown -- is the only Camino Real hotel or resort outside of Mexico. However, it's just 6 blocks north of the border, adjacent to the El Paso Convention and Performing Arts Center and within easy walking distance of all of the downtown attractions. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel effortlessly meshes El Paso's past and present.

Formerly known as the Hotel Paso del Norte, the property first opened in 1912, awing guests with its lavish marble and cherrywood lobby under a stunning glass dome from Tiffany's in New York. While the dome remains in place above a splendid bar and fine-dining restaurant, almost everything else has changed as a result of numerous renovations. In 1986, a modern 17-story tower was built next to the old Paso del Norte, expanding the lobby and more than doubling the hotel's capacity.

Tastefully decorated with reproductions and contemporary furnishings, the oversize rooms have two doubles, two queen-size, or one king-size bed, the decor punctuates great downtown views. Elegant suites have Victorian and Southwestern motifs.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; outdoor heated pool; exercise room; sauna; courtesy car; business center; 24-hr. room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
