Where to Stay Near White Sands National Park

"Dress for the dunes by day, go 1930s glam by night. The colorscape within this 130-room, 90-year-old historic West Texas landmark once home to Elizabeth Taylor draws on a desert-inspired palate of champagne, cream, and burgundy. Experience Pueblo Revival Art Deco architectural style at this elegant El Paso stay 1.5 hours away from White Sands National Park. Set the vibe just right when you press play on the curated playlists that bump from your in-room Tivoli sound system. Practice your steps to the beat or have a seat in the cigar chair, then fall asleep on a bed supported by channel-tufted headboards. Alternatively, you can continue the night at La Perla, the rooftop bar serving up Friday night jazz and Saturday night DJ sets. La Perla used to be Elizabeth Taylor’s penthouse and was inspired by La Peregrina: the famous pearl that once belonged to the Spanish monarchy, Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, and ultimately Elizabeth Taylor. Make sure not to miss the elevated dining experience at Ámbar Restaurante, home to 800-plus bottles of agave spirits, making it the largest collection of its kind in Texas and the second largest in North America."
