To extend guests’ enjoyment of the history and natural resources of Matador Ranch, the company has recently built a first-class lodge, El Matador, located north and west of the historic ranch headquarters. The indoor décor features Western furnishings in keeping with the striking beauty of the ranch, which lies on and off the Caprock of Texas. The building features West Texas limestone, reminiscent of the historic headquarters’ stone.
Guests stay in one of 12-bedroom suites, each named after a person central to Matador Ranch history or an area within the ranch. During leisure time, guests may spend time in the 3,200-square-foot great room. The lodge also features an in-house shop where first-class hunting accessories and apparel are available, along with Matador Ranch-branded items.
