El Paisano was
done in 1926. The same architects did the Gage
Hotel in
Marathon and the El
Capitan in Van
Horn.
El Paisano was
the headquarters for the making of the movie Giant in 1955. According
to El Paisano management, James Dean fans still show up to view
photos and memorabilia from the movie. Although the hotel was HQ,
Rock Hudson, James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor found lodging in private
residences around town.
