Hotel Paisano
A Spanish Revival hotel dating from 1930, where the cast of the film Giant stayed during filming; the lobby has a memorabilia display about the movie.
The Hotel Paisano was designed by architect Henry Trost in 1930 in the Spanish Revival style, and its courtyard and fountain are well preserved. In 1955, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and others stayed here while filming Giant in Marfa. A small memorabilia display beside the lobby shows stills and materials from the production. Non-guests may enter the lobby, courtyard and restaurant, so it is a convenient stop while strolling around town.
