1.El Cosmico, Marfa, Texas ($85+/night): This 21-acre hotel/campsite in western Texas is home to safari tents, teepees, yurts, and renovated trailers that are just as colorful on the inside. Pro tip: Book your stay early in the week if you’re craving peace and quiet (a lot of businesses in Marfa are closed Monday-Wednesday) or make reservations for the latter part of the week if you’re looking to get out and explore the local haunts.
