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
Heaven on Earth
Post Ranch is the most amazing experience - from the beautiful properties, rooms and staff. It was pure heaven and I can't wait to return.

The Post Ranch Inn has spoiled us forever!
This was our first visit to Post Ranch Inn and it was definitely a splurge for us. And now we are spoiled forever! Our stay was magical... and since we opted for an ocean view room with it's own hot tub, and the weather was stunningly beautiful, we just wanted to spend most of our time in that room. We dined in our room twice... the menu and service was wonderful. In fact, everything was wonderful. The room, the view, the amenities, all of the staff we encountered... everything and everyone was beyond expectations. We especially loved being driven to Nepenthe (or wherever one would want to go nearby) for dinner and fun. I am still thinking about our visit days later, remembering the exceptional experience. We are already discussing when we shall return and feel we can even enhance our experience now that we know more about how everything works and the many things offered. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Wonderful experience!
What an incredible dining experience in Big Sur! From the moment we arrived, we were treated so warmly by everyone. Our server Matthew was absolutely amazing, and the entire staff made us feel truly special throughout the day. The atmosphere was the perfect combination of relaxing and classy, making it easy to settle in and enjoy every moment. The food was delicious, and I loved trying dishes I had never experienced before. What really stood out was the attention to detail and level of hospitality — even the general manager came by to check on us and make sure everything was perfect. It genuinely felt like royal treatment from start to finish. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Big Sur, this place is a must-visit!

Best in Class
We have been coming to the PRI for close to 20 years. It is magnificent in every way. The setting is world class. The tree house room we favor is a magical place unto itself. The staff is well trained, polite, friendly, helpful and welcoming. They take pride in their work and it shows. The food at the Sierra Mar is terrific as is the wine list. The servers are knowledgeable of the menu, the preparation of the dishes, and options for off site dining. It earns its distinction as one of the worlds best small hotels. We will be coming back until we cannot.
