About Thunderbird Hotel

The Thunderbird Hotel is a historic 23-room property in Marfa, Texas, with garden-view rooms sleeping two to four guests and a pool at its center.

Wedding services are offered on site, with a meeting and banquet space for dinners and receptions, and a full buyout is available if you want the whole hotel to yourselves (though exclusive use is not required to celebrate here).

We estimate a relaxed desert atmosphere and buyout pricing in the range of roughly 7,000 to 15,000 USD, and the nearest major airport is likely El Paso (ELP), around three hours away by road.

The Thunderbird is a great place, we had a wonderful stay. The room was nice and clean, the bed was wonderful. We really enjoyed the nice pool and courtyard area. The hotel is close to good coffee and super resturants.
