$70M fixer-upper for Downtown hotel

​​​EL PASO – A $70 million restoration is underway at the landmark Hotel Paso Del Norte, formerly the Camino Real.

Located in the Downtown Historic District at 101 S. El Paso, the 105-year-old hotel has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

Los Angeles-based InterServe will lead the renovation, said officials with the Meyers Group, a Miami real estate development company that purchased the 105-year-old hotel in October 2016.

The project includes:

• reconstruction of the hotel’s 344 guest rooms;
• the renovation of the iconic dome bar;
• renovated lobby and lounge areas;
• the construction of a state-of-the-art gym;
• a new steak house restaurant; and,
• an outdoor courtyard.

The renamed Hotel Paso Del Norte will be franchised as a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel.
