THE CACTUS HOTEL. SAN ANGELO, TEXAS









In 1928 Conrad Hilton built this hotel.
It was one of his first Hilton Hotels and is currently one of the best preserved and has 14 floors.
The shops on the bottom level off of the lobby house an art gallery, 2 cake shops, a cafe, hair salon etc.
Five floors are "private"...hmmm....what're they doin' up there?
Two floors are apartments.
One of my favorite artists, James Gill lives and works in the Cactus Hotel.
There many offices on other floors...including: San Angelo Hospice, cultural affairs council, San Angelo Symphony, KCSA radio etc.
The hotel hosts many weddings and other gala affairs.
