The Inn at Death Valley


The Inn at Death Valley, formerly called The Furnace Creek Inn, was originally constructed by the Pacific Coast Borax Company and opened on February 1, 1927, with twelve rooms. Richard C. Baker – then president of Pacific Coast Borax – sought to open Death Valley to tourism in an effort to increase revenue on the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad originally built by Francis Marion Smith for shipping borax, but in need of new sources of revenue. Twenty additional rooms, as well as a swimming pool and tennis courts were added in the 1930s. The Fred Harvey Company operated the facilities for decades. The Inn now has 66 rooms, located on the hillside, and is open from October through May.




The Ranch at Death Valley


The Ranch at Death Valley, formerly called The Furnace Creek Ranch (36°27′23″N 116°52′07″W), is a separate lodging facility from the Inn. It is on the valley floor next to the Park's Visitor Center.
The ranch is known for being the location of the highest temperature recorded on Earth at 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) on July 10, 1913.
