The Best Hotels Near El Paseo

Hotel Paseo

Modern living meets cool curated style at the luxury Hotel Paseo, located adjacent to The Gardens on El Paseo, on Larkspur Lane.

The Marriott Autograph Collection property stokes the sort of getaway experience that visitors have come to expect of the desert: a resort-like atmosphere that still feels intimate and exclusive, an easy indoor-outdoor flow with a splashy pool scene, delectable on-site dining that emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, live music, and plenty of photo-ops dotting the grounds.

The vibe here is upscale yet laid-back and family-friendly — pups under 50 pounds are welcome, too. Find pampering services at the hotel’s Palmera Spa, then grab a craft cocktail at the poolside bar and while away the hours in the sunshine. A putting green and lawn games add to the backyard action.

Guest rooms and specialty suites put comfort first with plush linens and spa-style showers. Most rooms have private balconies overlooking palm trees, the pool, or mountain views. For a stay that’s totally unique, there is a fully restored 1950 Airstream on the property. Another premium suite features a billiards table, a record player, and an enviable collection of vinyl.

So kick back for a few days. There’s no better place to call home base when you’re exploring the street.
