The Orient Hotel, called the finest from Fort Worth to El Paso, began as a saloon built in 1896 of Pecos Valley red sandstone and opened as a hotel in 1907 by its owner, R.S. Johnson. In the early years of Pecos Valley development, it served as headquarters for land promoters and salesmen and as lodging for families of settlers. It was later restored to house the West of the Pecos Museum.
