World’s First 3D-Printed Hotel Is Coming to Texas in 2026 — Here's How Much It Will Cost to Stay There

Renderings of the new hotel located in Marfa, Texas reveal a sprawling pool and luxury bath house also offered at the site

Construction for the world’s first 3D-printed hotel and development has officially begun!

El Cosmico, a campground hotel located in Marfa, Texas, is currently being relocated and expanded on a new 60-acre plot of land in order to accommodate the first 3D-printed hotel in history. The innovative property, designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, will include a pool, bathhouse, restaurant and private residences as well.

Thanks to construction company ICON’s massive 3D printer, El Cosmico 2.0 will “showcase entirely new architectural approaches made possible by large-scale 3D-printing,” according to a press release.

These unique design features include domes, arches, vaults and parabolic curves, as well as reflecting the natural elements from the site's terrain.

The creator of El Cosmico, Liz Lambert, has teamed up with ICON to launch the reimagined accommodation, with construction expected to be completed by 2026. Hotel rooms are slated to cost $200 to $445 per night, a spokesperson for the project confirmed to PEOPLE.

“I am so happy about breaking ground at the new El Cosmico site. It’s the realization of a longtime dream of mine. It’s also very meaningful to me in that we will be able to do more of what we’ve done in the community of Marfa over the past 12 years — create economic opportunity, add high quality jobs, and contribute to the cultural fabric of Marfa,” Lambert says in a press release.

She continues, “I’ve been coming to Marfa since I was a kid spending summers at my family's ranch, and I’m proud and honored to be a part of this community. Marfa is a magical place.”

Of the inspiration behind the hotel’s unique architectural design, founder and creative director of BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, Bjarke Ingels, said it “is a conversation between El Cosmico’s past and future.”

"By testing the geometric boundaries of ICON’s 3D-printed construction, we have imagined fluid, curvilinear structures that enjoy the freedom of form in the empty desert,” says Ingels. “By using the sand, soils, and colors of the terroir as our print medium, the circular forms seem to emerge from the very land on which they stand.”

In addition to the hotel, residential accommodations called “Sunday Homes” will also take shape on the new site. These properties will feature three to four bedrooms and offer stunning views of Texas’ Davis Mountains.

Guests can still book a stay at the original El Cosmico hotel currently located on a 21-acre campground until 2025. The old site will soon be home to 3D-printed affordable housing units as part of the project’s mission to give back to the community in Marfa.
