There are tons of old trucks in Marfa,
this one welcomes you to the hotel.
The colorful lobby plays great music, serves coffee at 8am, and sells a bunch of great stuff too. Those pillows are amazing.
Another look at the lobby.
El Cosmico dog cooling off on the blue tiles at the check-in desk.
Gift shop and shared minibar.
Here are the two teepees and a camper early in the morning. I wanted to book a teepee but they were all reserved…
This is where we slept. No frills, but a lovely Bolivian blanket. Rustic + romantic.
Inside our tent - comfy bed and warm blankets.
Also has outlets to charge your phone!
Here you get a better idea of how the campers are laid out.
Love the colors!
Rustic camper and its outdoor shower. Beyonce slept here too.
The skies are amazing out here. The stars are not to be missed either, I felt like I was in a planetarium.
This is the entrance to the lobby area, open from 8am - 8pm.
Highs & Lows
-
The landscape and sense of freedom you get here is hard to explain. You see millions of stars and hear nature and laughter around from other people in their tents… come open-minded!
-
The décor and gift shop are awesome. I wanted to take home everything in the lobby!!
-
Considering we were sleeping in a tent, the bed was very comfortable and the blankets were warm.
-
The website was great, easy to navigate, and gives good suggestions for things to see and do around Marfa.
-
The shared bathroom was very open… I'm not sure it even locked properly.
-
The tents and teepees don’t have locks, so we had our luggage in the car.
