No matter what you do at the Post Ranch Inn, you’ll have a beautiful view. This scenic location is one reason why iBestTravel readers voted it the Best California Resort Hotel in the 2018 World’s Best Awards.
Each year, the World’s Best Awards survey invites readers to share their opinions on travel experiences worldwide. Participants review top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. The hotels were evaluated based on facilities, location, service, food, and overall value, slotted into categories of city or resort depending on their amenities and location.
Why Guests Love Post Ranch Inn
Guests rave about this hotel due to its stunning vistas of Big Sur. The Post Ranch Inn is perched on cliffs 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean, with the majestic Santa Lucia mountains rising on the other side. Visitors feel as if they are nestled in a glamorous, secluded oasis.
Luxurious Accommodations
With only 39 rooms and one private home, this resort hotel ensures premium privacy. Consider staying in one of the luxurious treehouses, elevated nine feet off the ground. Each treehouse features a glass skylight over the bed, allowing you to sleep under the stars while enjoying every modern luxury. Although the resort remains discreet about its famous guests, it is rumored that stars like Anne Hathaway and Drew Barrymore have graced its rooms.
Art and Aesthetics
The resort is also celebrated for its impressive art collection. Numerous sculptures adorn the grounds, and an array of photographs, paintings, and fine jewelry circulate within the Post Gallery.
Indulge in Spa Treatments
Don’t miss the opportunity to schedule a spa appointment, whether in a specialized treatment room or in the comfort of your own hotel room. A truly unique offering is the guided shaman session, a spiritual journey crafted to improve your physical and mental wellness. Traditional spa enthusiasts can indulge in a variety of facials or massages, catering to every relaxation need.
Explore California’s Coast
For the ultimate California experience, guests can borrow one of the hotel’s Lexus vehicles—absolutely free—and take a scenic drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.
