The Inn at Death Valley
Death Valley, California, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Pacific Coast Borax built this adobe inn in 1927 to put railroad tourists in the desert, eighty-eight rooms above the Furnace Creek floor. Spring water still feeds the gardens and the date palms, and a spring-fed pool holds naturally at 87 degrees. A hundred-million-dollar rebuild in 2018 kept the old house standing, and AAA has it at Four Diamond.
