"Post Ranch Inn is a legendary hotel that feels like it sits on the edge of the world. Right on top of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, the sprawling property has been a hotel for 30 years and has gained a reputation for being one of the best in the world. The setting is magnificent, with rolling hills everywhere and that dramatic sea view that, if you’re here at the right time, might involve whale spotting. Many of the rooms are standalone and all fit seamlessly into the landscape, whether that’s a treehouse in the forest or one that feels built into the cliff. As you might have gathered at this point, this is a place for anniversaries, honeymoons, and ultra special occasions. Between the indulgent spa, walking trails, and on-site restaurant you’re unlikely to leave the grounds—which is probably a plus because you’ll be booking a room way in advance and paying four figures for it." - team infatuation, allison green
