Naturally, that makes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elpasotexas.gov\/\">El Paso<\/a> a must-see spot. This unique city beautifully blends Texan and Mexican cultures through fusion cuisine, a storied history, and significant landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to make a trip to this West Texas locale, book a stay at El Paso\u2019s most luxurious boutique hotel\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plazahotelelpaso.com\/\">The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park<\/a>. Not only is it a place to stay in the city, but it truly embodies the spirit of the city. Since the 1930s, this 130-room hotel has stood tall and proud in the El Paso skyline, hosting everyone from celebrities and dignitaries to Hollywood\u2019s elite. From the outside, it\u2019s instantly recognizable as an El Paso institution, and the inside is just as memorable. The design takes cues from the Pueblo Revival Art Deco style and the dramatic scenery of the West Texas landscape. It\u2019s the perfect place to fully immerse yourself in the energy of your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2410\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior of The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park\" class=\"wp-image-2410 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-1186x1536.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-1582x2048.jpg 1582w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-Plaza_Exterior-scaled.jpg 1977w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 791px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 791\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"231\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Guest room at The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park in El Paso\" class=\"wp-image-231 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MillsADA-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"228\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Library with lounge chairs and a fireplace in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park in El Paso\" class=\"wp-image-228 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/LobbyLibrary-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting a glimpse into the city\u2019s personality at The Plaza, it\u2019s time to venture out and explore. El Paso\u2019s historic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elpasomissions.org\/\">Mission Trail<\/a> is an educational and compelling opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the area&#8217;s religious and cultural roots. This 9-mile trail takes you along two of the oldest continuously operated missions in the United States. These missions stand as enduring symbols of their respective communities, as well as the nations of Spain, Mexico, and the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further explore the cultural influence of this lively city, we recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/epma.art\/\">El Paso Museum of Art<\/a>. They invite visitors to experience a new culture and new perspectives when they visit. This museum is dedicated to illuminating American, European, and Mexican art in its permanent collection while celebrating the diversity of the region through temporary exhibitions and ongoing educational programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2412\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"a young woman skillfully traverses the winding trails of the mountain landscape\" class=\"wp-image-2412 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1758368488-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"El Paso, Texas skyline\" class=\"wp-image-2413 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ichotelsblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1304437505-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, it\u2019s time to get outdoors and immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the area. Of course, El Paso is a part of Texas, but it\u2019s also bordered by Ciudad Juarez, Mexic, and New Mexico, resulting in a unique blend of bustling city views and rugged mountain landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, <a href=\"https:\/\/tpwd.texas.gov\/state-parks\/franklin-mountains\/\">Franklin Mountains State Park<\/a> has hiking trails for all skill levels, making it a great, family-friendly spot. For a more low-key adventure, visit the park after dark. The big Texas sky is ideal for getting a clear look at the brilliant stars overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For another mesmerizing option, hop in your car and cruise down <a href=\"https:\/\/visitelpaso.com\/places\/scenic-drive\">Scenic Drive<\/a>. This aptly named street showcases breathtaking views including several overlooks to snap a photo or simply take in the beauty of this magnificent city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, no cultural exploration is complete without tasting authentic cuisine. For evocative flavors and wood-fired Mexican dishes, look no further than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambarelpaso.com\/\">\u00c1mbar Restaurante<\/a>. Watch as homemade tortillas are crafted before your eyes, and indulge in a menu that embodies the parallel cultures, histories, and spirits of the city. Stick with a classic like the slow-braised beef barbacoa, or try something a bit more daring, like the duck in mole poblano.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a plus, \u00c1mbar Restaurante is home to the largest and rarest agave spirits collection in North America, making drink pairings a dream. The revered restaurant won first place for Best Tequila and Mezcal Collections in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bestofelpaso\/\">@bestofelpaso<\/a> awards, so you can toast to your world-class meal in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you look ahead to a year of new travel adventures, why not revitalize your perspective and seek inspiration along the way?
