A 103-room La Quinta Inn & Suites and Hawthorn Suites is on the drawing board for a vacant lot along Talbot Avenue in west El Paso. Plans filed with the city describe a four-story, wood-framed hotel at 909 Talbot Ave that would feature an outdoor pool and space for a continental breakfast. City documents peg the project at about $10 million, putting it among the larger hospitality investments on the far west side in recent months.
What's Planned
As reported by the El Paso Times, the proposal outlines a 79,684-square-foot, four-story wood hotel with two elevators and 103 guest rooms. The plans pair La Quinta Inn & Suites with Hawthorn Suites on the same lot and call for amenities including an outdoor pool and a continental breakfast area. According to the report, the project is valued at roughly $10 million and would replace the vacant parcel at 909 Talbot Ave.
Where It Will Sit
The site is tucked into a cluster of auto-service spots and quick-serve restaurants on Talbot Avenue, with business listings showing Martin Tire and Maracas y Sabor nearby. A Yellow Pages entry and a Maracas y Sabor listing place those businesses around 900–910 Talbot Ave, underscoring the commercial-strip feel of the block. El Paso City Council planning documents also show Talbot Avenue as a recurring subject of rezoning and mixed-use discussion, suggesting the corridor is teed up for more redevelopment.
Who's Behind It
City permit listings cited in local coverage identify EPT Talbot LLC as the owner and list Chetan Patel of Colleyville, Texas, as the applicant, according to the El Paso Times. The paper also notes that the city's permits portal did not show a general contractor at the time of reporting. The filing lays out a midscale hotel program consistent with a La Quinta and Hawthorn pairing within Wyndham's extended-stay and midscale portfolio.
Why It Matters
If completed, the project would expand Wyndham's presence on the west side. When it acquired La Quinta, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts highlighted that the brand brought more than 900 franchised hotels and nearly 89,000 rooms into its portfolio, and the company describes La Quinta as a major midscale flag in its collection. Local permitting and inspections for the new Talbot Avenue project will run through the city's One-Stop Shop, administered by the City of El Paso, which manages plan review and building permits for developments inside city limits.
Next Steps
Plans are under review with the city's permits office and must clear standard plan checks before any construction can begin. We will keep an eye on public filings and local records for a listed contractor and a construction timetable, and will update readers as new details surface.
