Wish this would have been my ride, parked outside the hotel.
Love the local news paper, The Big Bend Sentinel.
Easy chairs with a view.
Can’t get enough of this sky! Our view from the suite.
Pool view.
The view from this bed was mind-blowing.
This is the entrance to the hotel’s pool.
We loved making our own coffee in the room.
The light in Maria is fascinating, so are the shadows… sign to the Ice Plant, a exhibition location part of the Chianti foundation, showcasing two large stainless steel sculpture by Donald Judd's.

Highs & Lows
-
The recently opened Hotel Saint George stands at the site of the original Hotel Saint George built in 1886. The updated architecture echoes Donald Judd’s minimalist aesthetic which defines Marfa style, setting the standard for this world-class contemporary art destination in West Texas.
-
The staff is friendly and local.
-
Upon arrival we were met by a stylish reception area and throughout the hotel you’ll find an excellent collection of paintings, sculpture and photography from world-class artists, both local and international.
-
Our suite, the Highland Suite, on the northwest corner, offered stunning views onto Highland Avenue looking out over the Marfa to the Chinati Mountains.The room was layered with personal touches like arts and objects made by local artists, from hand made wooden tables to the Mark Flood painting on our wall. Amenities include in-suite espresso, king size bed, an entertainment area with a large screen tv, luxurious, spa-like bathroom with walk-in shower and the Aesop bath products, and thick, heavy robes and towels.
-
The lobby hosts the fantastic Marfa Book Co. bookstore, offering a strong assortment of art, design and photography books as well as a selection of fine art editions by local artists or residents of the Chinati artists residency program.
-
The hotel now has a pool and lounge in a former train depot across the street. It wasn’t officially open when we were there, but it promises to be a perfect place to cool off after a day of hot and dusty excursions to Chinati and the various Donald Judd Foundation sites.
-
We were there off-season, but you are sure to spot art world luminaries at the Saint George during Marfa Art Week (September 22 - October 6). The bar is clearly a hot spot in Marfa after hours.
-
The pool wasn’t open yet.

Restaurant
L’Aventure features french and italian inspired dishes using quality local ingredients.
-

Yes, lounge adjacent to the restaurant is the place-to-be, if you’re not out chasing jackrabbits or the Marfa Lights.
-
Minibar
Complimentary Illy coffee pods for the in-suite machine and mini-fridge.

Children
Yes but the vibe is pretty grown-up. Marfa may not be the most exciting trip for kids under 16, except for the before-mentioned jackrabbits and Marfa Lights.
-
Price
High for rural Texas, if you can still really call Marfa ‘rural’, but not NY or LA prices.
