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

A Perfect 5-Star Luxury Retreat in Big Sur

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

The Post Ranch Inn was a truly magical experience. It is centrally located in Big Sur, which is convenient for both Big Sur attractions and visits south to Hearst Castle and north to Carmel. The rooms are individual houses with lots of space and yet cozy at the same time. This is undoubtedly helped by the wood burning fireplaces. The rooms and the property are immaculately maintained. The houses are far enough apart and are surrounded by individual fencing, so that you have true privacy and silence in your relaxation retreat. The amenities in the room and on the property are thoughtful and high quality. We ate our way through the free mini bar every night. Sierra Mar, the hotel restaurant, is a destination worth the visit on its own, and it offers a broader menu to hotel guests than it offers to outside diners. Staff throughout the hotel were attentive and friendly. We never passed a staff member who didn't say hello. The is no question that the Post Ranch Inn is expensive, but the experience is so wonderful that it justifies the price and remains a good value. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely lived up to the hype. It’s expensive and worth it. We had an outdoor tub, which I highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the view and property are! You absolutely have to see it for yourself to understand what they have to offer. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never want to leave.

Visited for our anniversary and it is such a special place to visit. We left feeling so at peace and hope to return some day. Especially impressed with the tenure of so many employees we met, which speaks to it being a good place to work and therefore reflected in the service the guests receive.
