DeSoto Hotel and El Paso's Boxing Wall of Fame

DeSoto Hotel and El Paso's Boxing Wall of Fame

De Soto Hotel can be found on E Mills Avenue 309. They can be reached at (915) 533-5595. Information taken from: http://www.yelp.com/biz/de-soto-hotel-el-paso A mural of El Paso's Boxing Wall of Fame can be seen on the side of the building. The listed artists are Jose Quiroz, Moises Garcia, and Raymundo Jaime. The De Soto Hotel has been a constant in the downtown El Paso scene for over one hundred years. Established in 1905, its hallways are still home to a few dozen living and breathing tenants. And a few that aren’t. Chris Lopez and Matt Hernandez, lead investigators for El Paso Ghost Tours, know of at least three spirits that make the hotel their home. Every Friday night their group of paranormal enthusiasts lead what they call ‘ghost tours’ of the downtown area, and one of their most active stops is the De Soto Hotel on Mills Avenue.
