Artful Studio at Iconic Property

Perfectly situated in the middle of town near major Marfa attractions, MOTEL is a thoughtful, multi-year adobe renovation spearheaded by craftsman, Jantzen Matzdorff who is known for intentional restorations and putting his entire heart into his work. With design by renowned design firm McCray & Co., this is the latest in a series of successful projects together. Together they created this original boutique hotel almost exclusively with vintage and custom finishes while honoring the original structure.

Room 3 is an artful 297-square-foot compact studio ideal for two guests, offering an overall inviting design. This room has a fun touch of space-age and psychedelic touches that make this room unique amongst the others. Well-lit at all times of the day, this room still provides a retreat from the sun with all modern amenities and thick adobe walls. The custom bed features a plush mattress bed and luxury sheets. The full bathroom is thoughtfully stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash and the kitchenette is fully equipped with a mini-fridge, sink, toaster oven, hot plate, pour over coffee vessel and all of your kitchen essentials. A custom desk next to one of the large windows makes for a good remote work space or a place to work on that novel you’ve been putting off.

The shared courtyard is decked out with a beautiful fountain, dedicated dining area for dining al fresco, and a large outdoor fireplace to unwind under the stars. The private spa-like outdoor tub area "Oasis" is reservable via QR code and features a vintage clawfoot tub. The shared sauna and cold plunge area is a relaxing experience that is unique for Marfa.

Guests will have access to high speed internet (see last photo), the rental and the entire shared courtyard amenities. Plus, enjoy complimentary pool passes for the Saint George Hotel! Please note that while we strive to provide our guests with an enjoyable pool experience, the availability of the amenities may be subject to unforeseen circumstances such as maintenance, cleaning, seasonality or other issues beyond our control.
