“We are excited to expand our footprint in the great state of Texas,” said Gregory S. Marcus, president and chief executive
officer of The Marcus Corporation. “El Paso has so much to offer, including its strong business base, robust tourism and
exceptional recreational, educational, athletic and retail opportunities. Both these properties are ideally located near the city’s
convention and performing arts center, and Southwest University Park sports complex and event venue, and are poised to capture even
greater share of the thousands of tourists and business people who travel to El Paso.”
More than 70 Fortune 500 companies have offices in El Paso. Located only five minutes from the Mexican border, the city is the
second-busiest international crossing point in the U.S. for business and commerce. Situated in El Paso’s Museum District, near the
city’s prominent convention and performing arts center, the 200-room DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel El Paso Downtown features a rooftop
pool and sun deck with stunning views of the El Paso skyline, along with 8,500 square feet of meeting space that can accommodate
small to large groups and weddings. The Fire Restaurant and Fire Bar is a full-service bar and restaurant serving Southwestern
cuisine with craft cocktails, and offers live music throughout the week. The hotel also features a Mediterranean-inspired terrace
bar, the Sunset Terrace, which offers specialty cocktails and brick-oven specialties along with a spectacular view of the El Paso
skyline.
“We are thrilled to begin our partnership with Marcus Hotels & Resorts,” said Elma Carreto and Jim Scherr, owners of the
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel El Paso Downtown and the Courtyard by Marriott El Paso Downtown/Convention Center. “As El Paso residents
and long-time owners of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel El Paso Downtown, we have been part of the city’s growth and see firsthand
the demand from both business and leisure travelers. With Marcus Hotels & Resorts’ industry expertise and vast hotel management
capabilities, we know our guests will enjoy their stay at both of our properties as they experience the most welcoming hospitality
El Paso has to offer.”
The new 151-room, nine-story Courtyard by Marriott El Paso Downtown/Convention Center will feature the Courtyard by Marriott’s
latest contemporary design, including an innovative lobby space and trendy, yet comfortable guest accommodations. Incorporating
indirect lighting and a neutral color palette, as well as integrated technology throughout the property, guests will enjoy the
relaxing modern feel and creative elements. Guests can plan intimate gatherings in the hotel’s meeting space as well as enjoy the
property’s outdoor terrace-top pool with beautiful views of downtown El Paso. The hotel will feature the Bistro, offering a wide
