Dining Area of Hilton Hotel

Dining Area of Hilton Hotel

The picture shows the dining area of the Hotel Hilton in 1930. The Hotel had been opened that same year. It was designed by Henry C. Trost in the Art Deco style, popular in the 1920s. The interior areas were luxury decorated and the rooms mirrored the state of the art, featuring fully electric lighting, ceiling fans, radios and private bathrooms. It served as one of El Paso's most luxurious hotels; even Elisabeth Taylor briefly lived here in 1950/51. The electric lighting and the Indian elements, which were incorporated in the design, can be seen in this image, too. The Hotel was sold in 1963 and operated as Plaza Hotel until 1991, when it was closed.
