Inn Dining Room

Top choice in Death Valley National Park


This formal restaurant delivers continental cuisine with stellar views of the Panamint Mountains. For a more chilled ambience, enjoy breakfast, lunch or cocktails on the patio. Reservations are key for dinner when a 'no shorts or tank tops' policy kicks in, although you could always belly up to the bar and eat there. The Sunday brunch is a gourmet gut-buster ($35).
