Since opening on February 1, 1927 with just 12 guest rooms, the Oasis at Death Valley has achieved preeminence among US National Park Resorts. Originally conceived by the Pacific Coast Borax Company, the Inn was the answer to the declining mining industry, which had left the Death Valley Railroad with nothing to haul. The construction of the Inn helped to shift Death Valley's draw from mining to tourism, brining a new industry to the Old West. Steeped in history and tradition, the Inn and the Ranch have become as much as destination as the Park itself. With naturally heated swimming pools, the world's lowest golf course, four-diamond hospitality and surroundings of unsurpassed natural beauty, the Oasis of Death Valley creates fond memories that are forever treasured by its guests.
