"Set in the tiny town of Marathon just 40 minutes from the park boundary, the Gage Resort & Spa offers an astonishingly elegant take on the Lone Star state’s typical historic hotels. Thoughtfully restored with mission-style furnishings in each room, the Gage is a place where heritage and high desert mix seamlessly. Choose a suite in the vintage main building, or spring for a nearby casita if you’d like a bit more privacy. Once you're checked in, expect to enjoy luxe amenities like Keurig coffee bars with locally-roasted beans, premium linens, and fabulous on-site dining at the 12 Gage Restaurant." - Emily Pennington

"A remote West Texas retreat commissioned in 1926 and built by noted regional architect Henry Trost, the hotel offers 47 guest rooms including casitas and a 20-room pueblo-style courtyard (Los Portales) with antique Mexican double doors, exposed wood beams and Saltillo tile floors that channel regional heritage. On-site dining highlights locally sourced wild game at the main restaurant and an extensive tequila-focused menu at the White Buffalo Bar, while the property’s distance from commercial airports (the nearest is roughly 160 miles away) underlines its rustic, out-of-the-way charm. The combination of historic architecture, regional cuisine and desert-adjacent setting makes it a comfortable base for exploring Big Bend." - Alexandra Cheney
"In Marathon, 40 miles north, book a room at the historic Gage Hotel, designed by architect Henry Trost in the 1920s."
