DescriptionThis matchbox promotes the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which opened in 1986. The base of the box is decorated to look like a Native American rug. Light blue is the dominant color of the rug background, but there are prominent hints of tan and green. There is a drawing of a bird in a non-specific Native American pottery style, which stands as the logo for the Eldorado Hotel. This logo sits on the front of the matchbox, right above text, which reads "ELDORADO/HOTEL." On the side of the box there is some yellow text, which reads "Santa Fe, New Mexico." That sits right above two phone numbers, also displayed in yellow.
