If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Big Sur
Big Sur’s rugged cliffs and redwood canyons set the stage for unforgettable places to stay, from cliffside luxury at Post Ranch Inn and Ventana to cozy inns like Glen Oaks and classic campgrounds such as Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and Kirk Creek. Whether you prefer a secluded cabin, seaside glamping, or a boutique retreat with ocean views, book well in advance, plan for narrow, winding roads, and choose your base according to whether you want easy beach access, hiking nearby, or total solitude.
