The historic, Four-Diamond, mission-style Inn at Death Valley offers a variety of activities for travelers of all ages to enjoy. Beat the heat and visit the park in the morning or early evening, then spend time exploring The Inn during the day. Treat yourself to a spa treatment, lounge in a poolside cabana, browse the gift shop or educate yourself at Borax Museum. The property features 66 rooms, a fine-dining restaurant, cocktail lounge, balconies with views of Death Valley and the Panamint Mountains, colorful gardens, and a spring-fed pool with a pool café and cabanas.
