Iconic Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel Offered for Sale at $950K

A West Texas landmark with more than a century of hospitality is now on the market. The historic Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel, located at 111 N State Street in the heart of downtown, is listed for $950,000. The boutique hotel, built in 1925 and recently renovated, features six guest rooms, a vintage-style guest lounge, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and room to expand.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Davis Mountains and just steps from the Jeff Davis County Courthouse, the two-story, 5,600-square-foot building blends old-school charm with modern amenities. Each guest room is individually styled, and guests enjoy exclusive access to a 2,100-square-foot lounge featuring a 1950s-style milkshake counter, pool table, table tennis, darts, and board games. A second-story balcony offers sweeping mountain views and desert sunsets.

The property includes a commercial kitchen, currently not in operation, that could be reopened as a restaurant, coffee shop, or retail space. A studio apartment and manager’s office provide on-site housing or conversion potential for additional rooms. There’s also room on the second floor to add a seventh guest room.

Over $100,000 in upgrades have been made, including remodeled bathrooms, new HVAC systems, on-demand water heaters, and a fully furnished interior reflecting the historic character of the building.

The listing includes the operating business—complete with a search-optimized website, booking engine, credit card processing accounts, and current reservations—making this a turnkey opportunity for a buyer seeking a hospitality venture in a beloved tourism destination. Attractions nearby include the McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis National Historic Site, Davis Mountains State Park, and the towns of Marfa, Alpine, and Big Bend National Park.
