About the Hotel
There simply is not a time when the rugged, captivating coast of Northern California is anything but an extraordinary escape. On a clifftop overlooking blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn is a place of natural and intimate luxury, reflecting not only the beauty of its environs, but the quintessential relaxed attitude as well. With views of sea on one side, and mountains on the other, this property features organic architecture inside and out. Guest rooms are a study in rustic elegance, set in a series of small structures, with each space affording a scenic vista unlike any other. A king bed, wood-burning fireplace, indoor spa tub, and private deck will greet you, and indulgent touches like terry robes, slippers, and a complimentary mini bar offer even more reason to delight in this awesome getaway. Head over to Post Ranch Inn's award-winning spa for an out-of-this-world treatment, set in a room overlooking the surrounding mountains and ocean. From the Big Sur Jade Stone Therapy to the Organic Garden Facial or soul-soothing shaman sessions, this is truly a place of mind and body renewal.

Reviews for Post Ranch Inn
First class hotel
One of a kind special hotel we’ll be back! Service levels from the moment you arrive to the time you leave are second to none! We stayed in the Grimes treehouse which was exceptional!

Zen Stay!
Everything about our Post Ranch Inn stay was phenomenal! Excellent staff, flawless! From start to finish we felt completely pampered. Extremely well appointed: the unique Treehouse suites are a slice of heaven! The property, breathtaking! Dining at Sierra Mar for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing. The dishes were absolutely bursting with flavor and the attentive service was impeccable. We left the couples relaxation massages walking on air. Post Ranch Inn is zen in every way.

Wonderful in every way!
Wonderful in every way! We loved the Ocean House room, with its unobstructed views of the ocean, including sea otters, seals, and breaching whales. Deer at sunset too! Dinner was phenomenal, including a fun Non-alcoholic drink menu. We ate at Nepenthe another evening which was a fun experience due to its setting, but in hindsight I would have preferred a 2nd dinner at Sierra Mar.

Time to relax and enjoy
Aboslutely exceptional place to wind down and enjoy nature. All of the staff were friendly and hospitable. Looking forward to another visit next year.

A magical getaway in Big Sur
Post Ranch Inn deserves every bit of this five star review! Every detail is accounted for during your stay. Our room and the grounds were clean and thoughtfully-managed. The food service at Sierra Mar was exceptional (always order the mango for dessert!). The accommodations like the fitness room and pools were top notch. We were offered and given rides to a nearby restaurant we wanted to check out, which was so convenient. And we loved the special touches like seeing the stars and nebulas with the help of the on-site astronomy enthusiast, and enjoying the most relaxing facial at the spa. Every part of our trip was perfect thanks to the team at Post Ranch Inn! The service is so spectacular that I’ve forgotten to mention how beautiful the location is. Serene views of the ocean and woodlands from every angle on property - it is magical! We look forward to hopefully returning soon!
