The Cactus Hotel, 36 E. Twohig, was Conrad Hilton's fourth hotel. Built in 1929, it was the largest, most ornate and the most expensive ($900,000) of his hotels. The hotel, with its 14 stories, lavish decorations and elegant crystal ballroom, has been revitalized as the city's cultural center. The San Angelo Symphony and the Cultural Affairs Council are housed in the hotel. The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts Children's Art Museum and Gift Shop are on the first floor. In the lobby and on the mezzanine are shops, a turn-of-the-century barber shop, a restaurant, a coffee shop and a club located on the top floor.
