Stanton House: An Art and Design Gem

The city of El Paso, Texas, celebrates dualities in many forms. As a melting pot of American and Mexican cultures, here, Tex-Mex clichés are forgotten in light of a distinctly forward-looking city. Stanton House reflects this character with a modern southwest hospitality experience enhanced with world-class contemporary art and exemplary design.

Sitting squarely at the heart of El Paso, a former furniture showroom built in 1916 is now home to Stanton House, a design- and art-rich property. When the ownership team reinvigorated the building, they replaced 80 tons of concrete with structural steel and added a fifth floor with four suites. The concept pays homage to the architectural heyday of the city while bringing it into the 21st century, with a mission to create expansive spaces for showcasing contemporary art as well as intimate nooks for gathering and quieter moments of inspiration. The team of Anne Tucker/Studio A Group and Jack Sanders/Design Build Adventure interpreted this concept in an interior design defined by neutral colors, wood, marble, and terazzo, all of which are accented with an abundance of warm fabrics. 

The architecture and interiors are augmented by one of the property’s main features: its outstanding contemporary art collection. At the heart of the hotel is a four-story lightwell, created specifically to house “Shylights,” an installation by Amsterdam-based Studio Drift. Throughout the rest of the property guests will encounter works by other internationally renowned artists like Damien Hirst and Robert Davidson as well as pieces by younger regional artists, including Ric Chavarria, Carlos Noriega Neuro, and Paola Rascon. 

Exceptional artworks adorn everything from the lobby and public spaces to the guest rooms and suites. In rooms, guests will also find Stearns & Foster beds with Sferra luxury linens and alpaca throws for an additional layer of cozy comfort. Waterfall showers in the bathrooms are accompanied by Malin + Goetz products and, in some suites and king rooms, oversized garden tubs. Alexa virtual assistants are also found in every room. 

On the ground floor, Taft-Díaz serves haute cuisine that celebrates cultural flavors and regional influences. The restaurant was created in honor of U.S. President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz’s meeting at the El Paso-Juarez border for a land negotiation summit over a century ago. During the summit, President Taft hosted a traditional luncheon, whereas President Díaz held an opulent dinner. The restaurant today merges both presidents’ ideas of dining, offering upscale cuisine at the crossroads of beloved classics and cutting-edge culture. Executive Chef Erick Rocha also partners with vineyards and chefs from around the country to host intimate multi-course gastronomic experiences. Previous Chefs’ Dinners were realized in collaboration with the talents behind Oona in Chicago and Corima in New York City.

Stanton House is also known for its Blush Boutique & Spa, which offers an immersive retreat equipped with a steam room infused with essential oils, a sensory deprivation float tank, and Vichy showers, alongside a range of treatments including massages and organic body wraps as well as LED light therapies and Dermapen facials. The hotel also partners with local studios, including Pure Barre El Paso, to host experiential wellness days. In addition to barre classes, the programs feature meditation sessions, unique offerings at the spa, and healthy snacks and drinks, including Margabeetas (beetroot margaritas) and wheatgrass shots. 

Pop-up events at the hotel have become one of its staple offerings. Rooftop concert series put the spotlight on local musicians, while Sunday Paella brings a tradition from the hoteliers’ own childhoods to the property: once every three months, Stanton House hosts a Sunday paella feast open to both guests and the local community.

Location 
Located on North Stanton Street in the heart of revitalized Downtown El Paso, Stanton House is set among several historical buildings and is just a block from San Jacinto Plaza and about a mile from the U.S.-Mexico border. Cultural sites, shops, museums, and entertainment venues are all within walking distance of the hotel, with highlights including the Surreal Art Sculpture Garden, The Lowbrow Palace, and the El Segundo Barrio murals. Furthermore, El Paso’s Franklin Mountains State Park is the largest urban park in the nation, offering year-round hiking, biking, and views all within city limits. Only an hour’s drive away is also White Sands National Park, where wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, making it the world’s largest gypsum dunefield.
