A rare opportunity to own a piece of Fort Davis history has emerged with the listing of a historic boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown. Priced at $1,450,000, this property offers a prime location near major attractions and is rich in character, making it a unique investment in one of Texas’s most storied towns.
The two-story hotel, originally built in 1950, features six uniquely decorated rooms, each designed to capture the rustic charm and historic essence of the building. The hotel’s cozy guest lounge, currently serving as a relaxing space for visitors, was previously a successful retail shop and restaurant. This versatile area offers significant upside potential for reopening as a dining establishment or retail store, or it could be leased to generate additional income.
Modern upgrades include new AC and heating units installed throughout the building in April 2023, on-demand hot water, and remodeled bathrooms, ensuring guests enjoy modern comforts while staying in a building that retains its historical significance. The original wooden floors on the second floor have been preserved, offering an authentic experience that sets this hotel apart from more conventional accommodations.
The hotel is known as the Drug Store Hotel, a central historic landmark in Fort Davis since 1913. It includes a deck reserved exclusively for hotel guests, providing a private space to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding area, including the famed dark skies of West Texas, ideal for stargazing.
The sale includes all equipment, existing reservations, the hotel’s website, and six months of operational support to assist the new owner in transitioning smoothly. With versatile spaces that could be used for dining or retail, the property also offers potential for expansion and increased revenue streams.
