For fun-loving visitors or business trips.

Great for business travellers - there are excellent meeting facilities - the hotel also has an appealingly lively, youthful vibe.

The Rio Bosque Wetland Park is also criss-crossed with walking trails, and offers excellent bird watching. Clamber up Franklin Peak for spectacular views. Outdoorsy travellers will adore Franklin Mountains State Park, bursting with opportunities for hiking, rock-climbing and mountain biking, as well as spotting coyotes, ringtail cats and myriad reptiles. Beyond the city’s many museums and historic buildings, you’ll find a rapidly expanding plethora of glitzy skyscrapers, as well as funky microbreweries, thriving bars and a fun foodie scene. The First Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum promises a fascinating insight into the history of one of the largest air-defense training centres in the world, whilst the El Paso Museum of Art showcases innovative works by brilliant artists. If you’re drawn to El Paso for its intriguing history, venture south to the Yselta Mission, and Tigua Cultural Centre and the Socorro Mission, or slightly north of the city for the Museum of Archaeology. The best places to stay in El Paso are clustered around the city centre: all the better for soaking it all up. Accommodation options include everything from simple guesthouses to stylish city hotels, fit for an array of tastes and budgets. Most recently brought to international attention by Trump’s infamous comments and local Congressman Beto O’Rourke’s campaigns for US Senate, El Paso is increasingly popular with visitors from within Texas and further afield. Once dismissed as a sleepy border town, El Paso has become a thriving city with heaps of cultural attractions, perfect for a lively city break.
