Wall Of Fame Of Over 90 Stars Featured At Hotel Paso Del Norte

I recently took a stroll downtown and decided to check out the newly renovated Hotel Paso del Norte, and I was in for a pleasant surprise.
While the famed dome is still intact, the Paso del Norte hotel revamped much of its interior. As a result, the mixed influences of Mexican, Texan, and North American cultures create a subtle yet classic aesthetic.

New was the Frida Kahlo wallpaper behind the check-in desk, fancy chandeliers, and mirrors in the lobby area, the addition of a concierge desk and new in-house vendors such as Dulce, a cafe, 1700 Steakhouse, and coming soon BlackJacks, a cigar shop, and bar.
Oversized anything is always an attention grabber and the oversized yellow door on the roundabout by the Plaza Hotel and Paso del Norte Hotel certainly got mine. I mean, how can you not do a double-take at something that looks like it s straight out of Toon Town or a Dr. Suess book, or some kind of homage to the Monsters Inc. movie. And, what s the deal with that thing, anyway? Why is it even there to begin with?
As cartoonish as it looks, the giant yellow door is the latest public art piece in downtown El Paso.
According to a post on the City of El Paso Public Art Program Facebook, the brightly-colored steel structure is a “30-foot open door greeting visitors traveling up from the international Stanton Bridge through the Paseo de las Luces and into the Downtown Arts District.”
