The Peckinpah Suite
has long been the centerpiece of the historic Murray Hotel in the
heart of Livingston, Montana. Sam Peckinpah regarded by many critics
as one of the greatest American film directors ever resided in this
suite the last seven years of his life (1978-1985). In the spirit
of his movies, Mr. Peckinpah slept with his pistol next to his bed,
built a multilevel bar for arm wrestling his friends and actors
(Steve McQueen, Slim Pickens, Rip Torn, Kris Kristofferson, were
all likely opponents), and in his weaker, more paranoid moments
shot holes in the ceiling, and put steel grates over the skylights
to stave off intruders. His wood stove, shelving, bar, and various
other personal items are still on display in the suite.
The suite itself is an
expansive two bedroom, two bath unit with a full kitchen, Sam's
multilevel bar, two living/lounging areas, one with a big screen
TV, DVD and stereo with turntable and old records for guests' use.
There are fabulous views of town and the mountains on the north,
west, and south sides. The north end also has a view of the historic
train depot, designed by Robert Caterson, the same man who designed
Grand Central Station. All of the light and bathroom fixtures are
period pieces in keeping with the spirit of the century old Murray
Hotel and the old west. There are three chandeliers, art deco wall
lights and chairs, a small library of books and Peckinpah's movies,
even antique martini sets available for guests' use.
Peckinpah suite may be rented on a nightly basis.
