Riata Room

Weekdays $95.00 - Friday-Sunday $125.00

This room is a tribute to the grandeur and style of the Texas cattle barons of centuries past which are so much a part of the Gonzales area history. Riata meaning “rope” in Spanish was the name of the famed Texas cattle ranch owned by Jordan Benedict and his wife, played by Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor in the epic movie Giant. Rich furnishings with reflections of the west fill this large comfortable room which is reminiscent of the lavish lifestyle of the cattle barons portrayed by this film. The room includes a large 1840’s queen-sized full tester bed with a Tempur-Pedic mattress dressed in a goose down duvet, pillows and 320 thread count sheets and a hand made quilt. The seating area has a leather chesterfield sofa and a cowhide upholstered wingback chair. The room is complete with a refrigerator, coffee bar, television, CD/DVD & VCR, robes, hairdryer and a selection of fine soaps, shampoos and bath gels.

Come and experience the grandeur and style of the Texas cattle barons of centuries past. The queen sized full tester bed with its luxurious down mattress and 320 thread count sheets make this suite fit for a king…..and his queen of course!

The warm wood tones of the antique furniture, cowhide covered wing-backed chair, and rich, warm color palette give the room a decidedly masculine feel. However, the elegant draperies, gleaming brass accents and jeweled toned colors of the hand made needlepoint rug make this room a favorite of the ladies as well.
