About this room

Frequently asked questions

Upper Butterfly Room FAQs

See all FAQs →
What does the Upper Butterfly Room at Post Ranch Inn look out on?

The Upper Butterfly Room is a mountain-view room. It is designed to frame Big Sur's landscape, so you can look toward the hills from your own private deck or from the indoor living space. The inn sits on cliffs 1,200 feet above the Pacific, and guests are encouraged to watch for California condors from their rooms.

How big is the Upper Butterfly Room, and how many guests does it sleep?

The room measures 575 sq. ft. and sleeps 2 guests on 1 king bed with a pillowtop mattress and premium bedding. Every room at Post Ranch Inn is limited to two people, so it suits couples rather than extra guests.

Does the Upper Butterfly Room have a private outdoor space?

Yes. The room has its own private deck facing the Big Sur hills, a good spot for morning coffee made with the in-room coffee and tea maker and kettle. Many spa treatments at the inn can be arranged on a guest's private deck.

What is the bathroom like in the Upper Butterfly Room?

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a shower/bathtub combination. Heated floors add comfort, and you will find bathrobes, slippers, designer toiletries, shampoo, soap, towels and a hair dryer.

What is included when I book the Upper Butterfly Room?

The rate includes daily breakfast at Sierra Mar, resort activities such as yoga, meditation and guided nature walks, a stocked minibar, valet parking, and access to the pools and fitness center. You can also use the inn's Lexus vehicles. There is no separate resort fee. WiFi, bottled water and local calls are also free.

Does the room have a television, fireplace or other in-room comforts?

There is no television or alarm clock, as the inn favours a quiet, restorative stay. Instead you get a fireplace, an iPod dock, a tablet computer, guidebooks and local maps. Air conditioning, heating, nightly turndown service and daily housekeeping are provided, and an iron and ironing board are available on request.

Is the Upper Butterfly Room suitable for families or a longer stay?

Post Ranch Inn is an adults-only retreat with one king bed per room and a two-person limit. The minimum age to check in is 18, and the inn has no children's programs. The room suits couples. A two-night minimum stay applies.

Can I get food and drink without leaving the Upper Butterfly Room?

Yes. The room has limited-hours room service, a free stocked minibar, free bottled water and champagne service on request. For a full meal, Sierra Mar is the on-site restaurant, with ocean views and a Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning wine list. Dinner reservations are required.

How do I get to Post Ranch Inn, and do I need a car?

The inn is at 47900 Highway 1, Big Sur, in a remote spot on the coastal road. The nearest airport is Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY), about an hour's drive away. A car is essential, because rideshare is unreliable in Big Sur. Parking is included in the rate, and it is wise to check Highway 1 conditions before you travel.

6. Prices, fees, taxes & currency

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm.

Certain taxes or resort fees may be collected by the Supplier at the property.

7. Cancellations, changes & refunds

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable.
