About Marfa

What are the best hotels in Marfa?

Marfa is a tiny, artsy town out in the vast Trans-Pecos desert of West Texas, with rugged mountains, dusty roads and enormous skies stretching in every direction. It’s a surprisingly fun place to stay, with quirky apartments and charming hotels close to the galleries, cafes and boutiques. Hotel Saint George is our top choice, right in the centre and packed with stylish design, contemporary art and a very good restaurant. It has just the right amount of polish without feeling out of place in Marfa’s eccentric setting.
