Hotel Paisano


Hotel Paisano, an 80-year-old two-story white limestone building with a red tile roof, awaits visitors in the heart of Marfa. The cast of "Giant" stayed there in 1955 during the filming. It is a small hotel with 33 rooms and suites. Years of restoration preserved its rustic wooden beams, Texas tile, marble floors, a reading room and lounge with a stone fireplace. All rooms have wrought iron balconies and many overlook a heated swimming pool that is an ideal spot to relax. Its ballroom accommodates parties up to 100 guests.

Thunderbird Motel


In 2005, Conde Nash Traveler Magazine called the Thunderbird Hotel a "24-room oasis." The renovation turned the 1959 motel into a blend of West Texas flavor and modern design chic.

An outdoor pool with a large fireplace takes the chill off the desert wind. Native landscaping gently surrounds the motel. It offers package deals for holidays and special occasions.
