Death Valley, CA 92328
The Amargosa Hotel, located in Death Valley Junction, California, is a historic establishment originally built between 1923 and 1925 to accommodate investors of the Pacific Coast Borax Company. After its transformation into a public hotel in 1928, it became a canvas for artist Marta Becket, who adorned the hotel with murals and artistic touches that reflect her vision and legacy.
Today, the 16-room hotel offers a unique desert experience, welcoming travelers year-round while providing a peaceful retreat devoid of TVs and phones. Guests can enjoy comfortable accommodations with modern amenities, all set against the backdrop of one of North America's darkest night skies.
