Where to Stay Near White Sands National Park
"This stay isn’t in New Mexico, it’s in Texas. However, the iconic 108-year-old, 351-room hotel designed by architect Henry Trost, is only 1.5 hours away from the park, and gives guests a soulful El Paso stay. Those looking for views ranging from local to international can enjoy panoramas of the Franklin Mountains, downtown El Paso, or Mexico pending room selection. Hotel Paso del Norte is steeped in a diverse triad of cultures: Texan, Mexican, and North American. The cross-cultural fusion can be felt in the interior design and furnishings, and tasted at both the southern comfort fusion restaurant, Sabor, as well as the upscale West Texas-inspired 1700° Steakhouse. Post White Sands adventure, wind down with a drink at the towering 25-foot Tiffany-style stained glass dome bar encircled in gold crown molding. Plan to be pampered with a spa day on-site at Desert Spirit Spa the following day."
