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
Worth it
If you’re reading this, you’re trying to figure out if it’s worth it. I’ll give it to you straight: if you have the means, there is simply nothing else in the United States like Post Ranch Inn. What’s the value of being mesmerized 24/7 by the Pacific Ocean, stretched out beneath you from the cliffs of Big Sur? What’s the value of a level of hospitality that feels almost impossible — staff who appear exactly when you need something and are invisible the moment you want to be left alone? What’s the value of a truly priceless experience? If you’re on the fence, wondering whether the price could possibly match the experience: it does. And then some.

Terrific Getaway
We stayed at the Slate House (Upper Coast House Tree & Ocean View) for a weekday getaway. Super friendly and helpful staff, the house was stocked with quite a few snacks and drinks, in-room dinning food quality were good, and fun hiking trail across the property. EV drivers - staff automatically charged (L2 charger) my EV without me even asking, perfect & ready for next morning drive.
