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 the 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 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.
