Hotel Cortez, Renaissance Revival hotel in downtown El Paso, United States.
The Hotel Cortez stands eleven stories tall at 300 North Mesa Street, featuring classical architectural elements and Spanish Colonial Revival influences throughout its structure.
Built in 1926 by architectural firm Trost & Trost for Alzina Orndorff DeGroff at a cost of $1.4 million, the building initially operated as Hotel Orndorff.
President John F. Kennedy's overnight stay in June 1963 marked one of many notable events that took place within the walls of this El Paso landmark.
The structure transformed from a hotel to the El Paso Job Corps Center in 1970, and later became an office building in 1984.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this less than one-acre property in 1980, designating it as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
