Set within Death Valley National Park, the Inn at Furnace Creek takes full advantage of its dramatic desert setting with spectacular sunsets and a distinguished history of hospitality dating back to the late 1920s. Over the decades the inn has drawn celebrities and notable guests—Hollywood stars were regular visitors, and it famously served as the honeymoon destination for Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Distinctive on-site features include the world’s lowest golf course, located 214 feet below sea level, and a swimming pool continuously supplied by naturally warm spring water.
Recognized with a AAA Four Diamond Award and listed among the Historic Hotels of America, the inn sits near the Ranch at Furnace Creek, where guests can enjoy horseback riding, the Wrangler Buffet and the Corkscrew Saloon. Complimentary shuttles connect the inn and the ranch for easy access. A broad array of activities lets visitors tailor their stay—options range from carriage and hay wagon rides to Pilates and yoga classes, cycling, golf, and Jeep rentals.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find numerous hiking opportunities nearby, with trails that vary from gentle walks to more challenging routes leading to highlights such as Mosaic Canyon, Telescope Peak and Golden Canyon. Accommodations are designed to match different needs and tastes, from well-appointed guest rooms and spacious suites to private pool bungalows that offer added seclusion and comfort.
The inn’s combination of historic charm, desert scenery and a comprehensive activity program makes it a memorable base for exploring Death Valley—whether you’re seeking relaxation, outdoor adventure or a touch of classic Hollywood glamour.
