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.

It is difficult to imagine a hotel that so successfully combines luxury service, magnificent views, with an unmatched commitment to sustainability. From the gracious employees, to the quality amenities and inspiring activities with nature…This was not a hotel stay, this was an unforgettable experience!

In this magical place I found staff that treated me like royalty. The warmth and level of service is unparalleled the staff here is the best I’ve ever experienced ! Being a guest at Post Ranch was a spiritually renewing experience. Such astonishing beauty . A special thanks to manager Tim Lee whom has a real love of the property and its rich history . (Thank you for every extra step) The knowledge the staff shares and stories are like out of a book of days gone by. I can’t wait until my next visit . Our own paradise right here in the USA On the California coast . A must see and experience. If I could give more stars I certainly would!!!!!!

Our stay was magical in every possible way. My fiancé and I got engaged at Post Ranch Inn- at sunset, on a gorgeous cliff overlooking the beautiful ocean. It felt like something out of a movie. My fiancé had been emailing with Post Ranch Inn's event coordinator, Derek, for a few months before the proposal. Derek went above and beyond to make our day feel so special. In my fiancé's words, he did all the heavy lifting. Derek has an incredible eye for detail. He truly made the entire process feel seamless for both a nervous soon- to-be-fiancé and his very unsuspecting other half. The Inn itself is absolutely breathtaking. At the risk of sounding dramatic, I'd say it's the closest I've ever been to literal heaven on Earth. I felt absolutely one with nature- it was so peaceful. We stayed in the Upper Coast Full Ocean View room. Looking out onto our balcony felt like being at the edge of the universe. At night, the stars lit up the sky like I've never seen before. It was incredible. Needless to say, Post Ranch Inn will forever have a special place in my heart. I will always want to book a trip here. From the onsite restaurant, to the amazing staff, to the absolutely stunning views, your stay here isn't just that- it's truly an experience of a lifetime.

Unforgettable Luxury and Tranquility

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We stayed at Post Ranch Inn for my wife's birthday. It offers a truly unparalleled experience, combining breathtaking views of the Big Sur coastline with luxurious, eco-friendly accommodations. With amenities like infinity pools, a lap pool, spa treatments, yoga classes, nature walks, sound baths, and even falconry, Post Ranch Inn offers a deeply relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially at reception and Lexus driver service, which made our stay all the more enjoyable. Our dinners/breakfasts at Sierra Mar were a fantastic experience (food, wine, service, views), and we appreciated the unhurried pace, allowing us to savor both the food and the incredible views. With pools open 24 hours, we could enjoy sunrise, sunset, or stargazing whenever we wanted. We’ll definitely be back!

Post Ranch Inn has been our ‘home away from home’ for many years, and anyone fortunate to stay knows why we feel this way. It’s challenging to find any other place in the world that offers what Post Ranch does … Stunning scenery, exceptional service, Michelin star dining with views, Does it get any better?! Yes, it does! Antonio B the falconry expert, many whale sightings from the Sierra Mar terrace, California condors …. and so much more. Thank you DJ Singh & staff at guest services, Sierra Mar restaurant. Awesome seeing so many ‘old friends’. Looking forward to our next stay!
