# Post Ranch Inn

Big Sur, California, United States

Post Ranch Inn is a hotel high on the cliffs of Big Sur on Highway 1 in California, with rooms set into the hillside and the redwood forest above the Pacific. There are no televisions or alarm clocks in the rooms, and the three-Key rating of the Michelin Guide places it among 16 hotels in the United States.

The Cliff House looks over the coast from every room, with a private deck and soaking tub. The Pacific Suites have a curved interior with ocean views from the bedroom, living room, shower and soaking tub. Freestanding rooms with curved living roofs have panoramic ocean views, and one room type has a private deck suspended over the ridge with a stainless steel soaking tub. The Coast Houses are circular, mirroring the redwood trees, with a fireplace and a deck, and freestanding triangular rooms sit among the trees.

Sierra Mar, high above the ocean, holds a Michelin Green Star for its farm-driven cooking, built on land, sea and a Chef's Garden on the property. A complimentary breakfast of Californian staples is served to hotel guests each morning, and the afternoon prix-fixe menu is open to the public. The wine cellar and an award-winning wine list belong to the restaurant.
