Property details

Perfectly situated in the middle of town near major Marfa attractions, MOTEL is a thoughtful, multi-year adobe renovation spearheaded by craftsman Jantzen Matzdorff, with design by renowned design firm McCray & Co. This is the latest in a series of successful projects together. Their previous work has been featured in Tribeza, Domino, and GQ. Together, they created this original boutique hotel almost exclusively with vintage and custom finishes while honoring the original structure. Permit: #S222 Miguel’s Auto Garage is an industrial gem. This stand-alone building at the iconic MOTEL is a 630-square-foot loft, perfect for two guests for a short or long stay, that provides the space for you to feel inspired and ponder your next creation. Updated from its auto garage roots, gorgeous morning light floods in through the massive door that opens to a private patio with a fire pit and chairs for stargazing. The open format, large living room area is comfortable luxury juxtaposed with industrial fixtures to create a dynamic and comfortable feeling. The lofted bedroom is separated from the rest of the space by industrial stairs, yet connected through a thoughtful pass-through bookshelf. The custom bed features a plush queen mattress with luxury sheets to ensure a good night's rest. The vintage art, custom furniture, and industrial decor in this room are a collaboration between McCray & Co. and Jantzen Matzdorff. Boasting a kitchen that was meticulously designed to allow the efficient space to be used for professional pop-up cooking events with indoor and outdoor seating, this suite can also be the anchor for a complete MOTEL takeover. 🐾 Bring Your Furry Sidekick!
