New Mexico, Las Vegas, El Fidel Hotel
The structure, influenced by the Spanish Colonial Revival style, was completed and opened in 1923 as the Meadows Hotel. After a change in ownership the hotel was renamed the El Fidel. The most outstanding Spanish Colonial Revival style features- two heavily ornamented corner towers, one of them domed- are gone. Others elements of the style are somewhat muted, but, can be seen in the floral relief decorations of the first-story arcade and second-story recessed windows; and the red tiles which caps the roof parapets and first-story bay, and the front entrance. Today, the structure tends to reflect what can be describe as a Mediterranean flavor. To view a photograph of the hotel in its early years with the two tower go to:

The El Fidel Hotel is located in the Douglas-Sixth Street Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is contributing property.
