The El Monte Hotel, located at 925 First Ave. in Monte Vista, Colorado was built between 1930 - 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.^[1] It is now known as the Monte Villa Inn. ^[2]

It was largely designed by E. Floyd Redding in Pueblo Revival style; it was built by Dutton-Kendall contractors. It is notable for its design and for how it came about.^[2]

The town and its rural area long believed that a hotel was needed, and a committee was formed. The hotel was funded by public subscription following development of a plan and estimation of construction costs of $112,000. In a week-long drive, enough $100 shares were sold to raise $72,600, which, together with a bank mortgage, was just enough to enable the building to go forward.^[2]
