THE EXTRAORDINARY
Located behind the chef's organic garden, the Post Ranch Inn art gallery showcases a selection of art objects including photographs, sculptures, jewellery, and more. The exhibitions change throughout the year, giving Big Sur community artists the chance to gain recognition while offering a refreshing perspective on the world around us.
ETHICS
Mindful of its exceptional natural environment and its preservation, the Post Ranch Inn has designed 39 treehouses using sustainable materials, where various drought-tolerant plants abound. You will not find any phones or televisions here either. The water is, of course, recycled, and the hotel uses solar energy at the heart of its committed ethical programme. Mind where you step... you might just tread on California red-legged frogs, an endangered species.
