Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, CA Big Sur, Monterey County

Sleep and Sanctuary

Apropos of breathtaking scenery, the 40 rooms and private homes presented at Post Ranch Inn feature natural architecture and rustic elegance, seemingly blending into the Big Sur’s dramatic beauty. Do you wish to wake up to views of the majestic ocean, verdant forest, or jagged coastal mountains? Because you will have your choice. Serenity and privacy are abundant in each dwelling, as is the locally-inspired decor, one hundred percent organic mattresses and organic bath products in refillable containers, deep soaking tubs, expansive private decks, and wood-burning fireplaces. Something you won’t find in guest rooms are distractions. Lodgings are sans televisions and alarm clocks, allowing you to unwind and reconnect with your surroundings.

Eat. Pray. Eat.

Sierra Mar at the Post Ranch Inn is a culinary experience you won’t soon forget. Perched high atop the cliffs of Big Sur, you will find unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and farm-driven fine dining that is complemented by a wine list earning Wine Spectator's prestigious Grand Award annually since 2012. Each day, guests are treated to a sumptuous complimentary breakfast, a garden-centric, prix-fixe lunch menu highlighted by the Chef's Garden Harvest, featuring a shared platter of small seasonal bites presented on a custom-carved wood board, followed by a Farmers Market Salad for the table and a selection of a hearty main course.

For dinner,  enjoy a seasonal, four-course prix-fixe menu that changes daily and is inspired by ingredients from the dynamic Chef’s Garden. All vegan and dietary restrictions are happily satisfied. You will also be satisfied to know sustainability and responsible sourcing are key ingredients throughout the culinary program, led by Director of Culinary and renowned Chef Reylon Agustin. Cool Kind perk alert – guests are invited on a weekly complimentary Edible Tour of the Chef's Garden where the master gardener leads you on a tour through the garden to enlighten you on their unique specialty crops and growing techniques, providing tastes along the way.
