The Echo Hotels has served the Edinburg community for more than 80 years.

The hotel was originally established by a group of citizens who wanted to build a hotel to host conferences. The Edinburg Community Hotel Organization named their state-of-the-art hotel & conference center using the acronym for their organization.

Over 1,000 people participated by buying 'shares' of the hotel, including mom & pop stores throughout the area.

The hotel opened in 1958, with it's official Grand Opening held in March of 1959.

The Echo Hotel changed hands in 1990, and has since gone through many upgrades, while retaining the charm & nostalgia of the original Echo Hotel.

"It's our people that make the hotel so unique. The people that got a hold of the hotel in the early '90s, they really came in and made improvements to it and ever since then they have been working hard to make changes and improve the hotel's image, always keeping it up to date" says Joe Nuniz, hotel manager for the past 25 years.

The Echo Hotel & Conference Center is a full service hotel including a restaurant, bar area and banquet facilities, with onsite barbershop and travel agency.
