Out in the wide-open spaces of Marathon, Texas, The Gage Hotel has been welcoming folks with true West Texas hospitality since 1927. Thanks to J.P. Bryan, a proud Texan and history lover who brought it back to life, The Gage is now a one-of-a-kind spot where history, good food, and cowboy charm come together.
Whether you’re headed to Big Bend or just looking to slow down with a cold drink at the famous White Buffalo Bar — home to Henry, the legendary white buffalo head — The Gage has you covered. The Gage is a perfect place to kick off your boots. With beautiful rooms, great food at 12 Gage Restaurant, peaceful gardens, and plenty of Texas sunsets, it’s also a favorite for weddings, family get-togethers, and company retreats.
Marathon’s a small town with a big heart, and The Gage is right at the center of it all — where boots, hats, and a slower pace still mean something.
Custom Boots and West Texas Roots
We tip our hats to The Gage Hotel for the warm West Texas welcome. Hosting our custom boot fitting in the heart of Marathon was more than a perfect fit — it was a reminder that timeless craftsmanship and true hospitality still go hand in hand. Here's to good boots, good people, and unforgettable places. - Allens Boots
