A CALIFORNIA ICON

Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, California

 

 

WORTH TRAVELING FOR

Set 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean on a stretch of wild California coastline, Post Ranch Inn isn’t a hotel in the traditional sense — there’s no check-in desk, no crowds, and no reason to leave. A collection of freestanding treehouses and cliffside suites, this is luxury that feels deeply personal, impossibly private, and entirely attuned to nature. It’s the kind of place where whale watching from your deck is as casual as morning coffee.



HOTEL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Treehouse Suites nestled high among the redwoods, with floor-to-ceiling glass and wood-burning fireplaces.
  • Cliffside Rooms with unobstructed ocean views, perfect for sunset wine or early-morning fog watching.
  • Sierra Mar Restaurant, where the tasting menu comes with a 360° panorama of sea and sky.
  • Complimentary morning yoga, guided nature walks, and stargazing sessions with an in-house astronomer.
  • Infinity-edge soaking pools perched above the waves, heated to perfection.
