These hotels, fully embodying the spirit of the Californian coast, make for excellent stops along the way
1. Big Sur River Inn
The first hotel guests encounter from the north, this family-owned retreat has welcomed visitors since 1934. Today, it’s famous for its summer Sunday concerts, when guests eat barbecue on the lawns and cool off on Adirondack chairs in the Big Sur River.
2. Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn
Nestled among the redwoods in Castro Canyon, this is a place to disconnect. A warm, whimsical inn without cell service or WiFi, here you’ll find satisfying meals, gardens dripping with flowers and trails to nearby waterfalls.
3. Post Ranch Inn
At Big Sur’s most luxurious escape, guests stay in cliffside bungalows with Pacific Ocean panoramas or lofted treehouses with skylight views. Days are dedicated to infinity pools and guided hikes, while nights are spent in the impeccable restaurant or admiring the stars.
