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

Perfect 20th wedding anniversary

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

There are not enough adjectives to describe our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Post Ranch. The helicopter trip in and out was amazing. Our Ocean Room was warm, inviting with unique architecture with a breathtaking view down to the surf. Although it was overcast for most of our stay, we still had a magical time. The hiking trails on the property were more extensive than we anticipated and were an enjoyable experience. Walking through the property, seeing the fog coming in and out was mesmerizing. We participated in the art walk and had another enjoyable stroll through the property. Dining at Sierra Mar was perfect with a stunning view from every seat. And that fireplace! Highway 1 being closed added another notch of intimacy to our trip.

Best of the best

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

This is the finest stay and dining experience I have ever had. Every member of the staff looks you in the eye and greets you warmly. They stopped what they’re doing when you come by making you feel like you were the only and most important person in the world. There are not enough superlatives to describe this experience and I simply suggest you try it. The Sommeliers are engaging and not condescending. The food and accommodations are the best of the Best!

Gorgeous views and wonderful service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Amazing stay at an amazing resort. The service is completely attentive. the room was fantastic and comfortable. The bathroom is an issue if you have trouble climbing over the giant edge of the tub to take a shower. They do provide a small stool to help you. But if you have mobility issues, think about asking for a room with a stall shower instead of the tub . Our view was incredible. The resort provides everything you need to relax and recharge. There is no 'tech' allowed in the public spaces, so no phones driving everyone crazy. we spent our days in one of the two hot soaking pools overlooking the Pacific. The breakfast was delicious, but if you stay more than 3 days, you'll be eating the same things over and over. We went to the restaurant for dinner 2 nights. Delicious, but very expensive. There are other choices in the area for dinner. The resort provides car service, drop-off and pick up, to other area destinations so you don't have to drive the curvy, dark roads at night. The art tour on the property is very worth doing. We also self-hiked, and took a couple of courses. The spa is small but nice, not luxurious, but fine.
