Cotton Court, Valencia Hotel Collection

The Cotton Court Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Set in corrugated-steel buildings that recall old cotton warehouses, this super-chic boutique feels like a prairie-infused escape steps from downtown and minutes from Texas Tech University. The hotel frames a festive courtyard with a swimming pool, fire pits for evening s'mores, hammocks, and grassy play areas, while a double-height lobby evokes a historic cotton exchange and features a large chalkboard portrait of Buddy Holly. Designed by Rottet Studios, Cotton Court Hotel has 165 guest rooms (including a 1,600-square-foot Presidential Suite) whose storytelling details — carpets patterned like aerial cotton fields, sliding barn doors to oversized bathrooms with colorful mosaic tiles, desks referencing antique sewing tables, factory-locker–inspired wardrobes, iron bed frames, SMEG fridges, local products on a mini-bar tray, lustrous 100 percent cotton sheets, pendant lighting inspired by cotton-weaving bobbins, and framed needlepoint Buddy Holly lyrics — make it both playful and rooted in local history. Amenities are thoughtful and upscale, from branded bathrobes and Lather® luxury bath amenities to a 50-inch smart TV, complimentary self-parking and bike rental, 24-hour fitness, a 50-foot pool, a 24-hour front desk, and a Thursday Night Yappy Hour for guests with dogs; the property presents an artsy, industrial, historical, and simply fun vibe, is rated four stars, and lists room rates roughly $129–$800. The design, friendly staff, and overall sassiness are what make it stand out in Lubbock."
