"A modernist masterpiece of wood cottages with staggering ocean views and “living” roofs of plants, treehouses on stilts, and infinity pools at edges of cliffs high above Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn is a Michelin Three Key hotel (one of just 11 in the U.S. in Michelin’s first hotel ratings from April 2024). Marvel at the Milky Way from your spacious terrace, day bed, and slate-floored bathroom; snuggle next to the wood-burning fireplace in your ocean-view cottage; and walk forest trails on the steep hillsides of the former Post family ranch, where the hotel opened in 1992." - Sharon McDonnell
