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.
