The Inn at Death Valley at 328 Greenland Blvd is the 1927 Mission Revival historic oasis hotel + Death Valley National Park's only AAA Four Diamond resort + the most-historic accommodation in the entire Death Valley region. The property was built in 1927 by the Pacific Coast Borax Company (the famous '20-Mule Team Borax' mining company that put Death Valley on the map) to develop tourism as the borax mining industry declined — a remarkable example of corporate diversification into hospitality. The property features the original 1927 Mission Revival main inn (preserved Spanish Mission architectural style with red-tile roofs + bell tower + arched verandas + interior wrought-iron details) + 66 main hotel rooms in the original inn building + 22 separate casitas distributed across the property + landscaped grounds. The spring-fed swimming pool is fed by a natural 87-degree warm-water spring (distinct from chlorinated resort pools, the water is naturally heated and continuously refreshed by the spring) and is widely considered the most-photographed pool in California luxury hospitality. The 1925 date palm gardens are the original Egyptian government Bahari + Halawy variety date palms imported to landscape the new resort + give Furnace Creek its 'oasis' designation in the surrounding desert — the date trees are now nearly 100 years old and provide the property's iconic oasis-against-desert visual contrast. Currently operated by Xanterra Travel Collection (the National Park Service concessionaire that also operates the Grand Canyon South Rim El Tovar Hotel + Yellowstone Old Faithful Inn + Bryce Canyon Lodge + Glacier National Park properties + Zion Lodge), giving guests National Park Service hospitality standards. The Furnace Creek Golf Course adjacent is the lowest-elevation golf course in the world at -214 ft below sea level — a signature 18-hole experience that consistently appears on 'most-unusual golf courses' lists. The Inn at Death Valley is the heritage anchor for all Death Valley National Park luxury visits — the only AAA Four Diamond option, the only historic 1927-era authenticity option, and the only spring-fed pool + date palm oasis property. Distinct positioning from The Ranch at Death Valley (the sister Xanterra property at the same Furnace Creek location, modern-rebuild casual-positioning lodge with family-friendly + adventure-oriented amenities — the Inn is the luxury heritage option, the Ranch is the modern family option).
