Hangar HotelFredericksburg, TexasFly in and taxi up to the front door of the 1940s at the Hangar Hotel.
Yes, that’s right.
The 1940s with a South Pacific/WWII theme. The Quonset hut style Hangar Hotel was built to resemble a World War II military hangar. All 50 rooms are all in keeping with the World War II theme with replica 1940s furniture, olive drab army blankets and chairs covered with bomber-jacket leather.
The Airport Diner is next door. It’s a classic 1940s diner fashioned after the old railcar diners of the northeastern states. Enjoy a “Bomber Burger” with a chocolate malt and hand battered onion rings while you watch the airport activity.
