Thunderbird Hotel - A 1950s boutique property with pool, gardens, and art-focused spaces in historic Marfa

Located in the heart of Marfa's arts district, Thunderbird Hotel occupies a restored 1950s property featuring 23 individually styled rooms. This distinctive Marfa hotel offers air-conditioned accommodations with garden or pool views, each equipped with Parachute fine linens, Tivoli Audio BT3 alarm clock radios, and mini-fridges. Guest bathrooms include Los Poblanos organic lavender toiletries. The property maintains one of Marfa's few swimming pools, complemented by a gazebo and fire pit areas accessible 24 hours. A newly opened Guest Lounge provides a ROKU TV, typewriter, and record player, while the front office shop stocks wines, craft beers, and artisanal products. Bike rentals facilitate exploration of nearby attractions, with the Judd Foundation, Ayn Foundation, and John Chamberlain galleries all situated within 0.5 miles. Fort Davis lies 21.5 miles from Thunderbird, while dining options like Cochineal and Do Your Thing Coffee are within 0.5 miles.

Pros

Historic 1950s architecture preserved throughout the property

Multiple outdoor spaces including garden, gazebo, and fire pit areas

Pet-friendly policy with dedicated pet facilities in the courtyard

Versatile event spaces including private warehouse and 'The Coop' outdoor pavilion

Cons

No housekeeping service during stays

Limited dining options within the hotel premises

“In my opinion, this hotel distinguishes itself through its thoughtfully designed courtyard and pool area. The integration of local culture with designer aesthetics creates a distinctive atmosphere, further enhanced by unique amenities like cruiser bikes. Its family-oriented focus, complete with engaging outdoor activities, makes it a standout choice.”
