Stay in a Piece of West Texas History
The Drug Store Hotel has stood in the heart of Fort Davis since 1913. We’ve added the comforts you need — on-demand hot water, new AC and heating throughout, fresh paint — while keeping what makes this place special. Original hardwood floors. Walls with stories. The kind of character you won’t find at a chain hotel.
The floors creak. That’s how you know it’s real.
Restaurants are a short walk away. The Davis Mountains are right outside.
24/7 Self Check-In
Check-in from 3pm. Door codes hit your inbox the morning of your stay. No front desk, no waiting — let yourself in and make yourself at home.

Free Parking
Free parking is available on the street in front of the hotel and on the adjacent side streets.
Good to Know
This is a 70-year-old building. The rooms are on the second floor, one flight up, and there’s no elevator. The stairs are wide and easy, but if that’s a dealbreaker, we’d rather you know now.
In-Room Entertainment
Every room has YouTube TV. 100+ channels, unlimited DVR. Record anything, watch anytime.
Pets Stay Free
Your dog is welcome — no extra fees, no paperwork. Just bring them.

Visit Fort Davis
Small Town, Big Skies
Fort Davis has one blinking light, no fast food, and more stars than people. That’s the point.
Fort Davis National Historic Site
One of the best-preserved frontier forts in the Southwest. Walk the same grounds soldiers patrolled in 1854. Five minutes from your room.
McDonald Observatory Star Party
Thirty minutes from your room. Darkest skies in North America. Catch a Star Party and you’ll see why people drive hours for this.
