El Cosmico
Marfa, Texas
Some people might call a group of old trailers, tents, and teepees out in the middle of nowhere a commune, or a retreat, or even a shantytown. We call it El Cosmico. This unique set of accommodations — headed by the minds behind Austin's awesome Hotel San Jose — consists of 14 rooms spread across several renovated vintage trailers, safari tents, several traditional Sioux teepees, and a number of tent campsites. It's not fancy, but luxury isn't the point — disconnecting from the modern world is, and at that, this place excels. So book a room, leave your gadgets behind, and prepare for a decidedly relaxing stay.
