Winter 2025
at Post Ranch

During Winter 2025, our restaurant, Sierra Mar, will be closed for renovations. The good news, however, is that almost all other aspects of a stay at Post Ranch are open and available to enjoy, including our spa, the Meditation and Lap pools, and curated activities, which continue as usual. Additionally, we’ve done a number of things designed to make your dining experience here as wonderful as ever.

First, we’re thrilled to introduce Mickey’s, a pop-up bistro-style dining space with a special land and sea menu that our chefs are super excited about. Second, we’ve upped our in-room dining game, making romantic dinners in the privacy of your room a truly elegant experience.

Still on the fence? Well, during this time, you can take advantage of our Getaway Rates, offering 20% off our normal room rates plus a daily dining credit of $250 each night of your stay that can be used for food at Mickey’s, In-Room Dining or Poolside Dining.

About Mickey Muennig

Architectural visionary, G.K. (Mickey) Muennig, came to the California coast from Joplin, Missouri in 1971 after studying at the University of Oklahoma with Bruce Goff, and working with various architects, mostly Goff and Frank Lloyd Wright disciples, in Joplin and Denver, Colorado. It is this creative mind that romped, sketched and rocked this ridge to give us the Post Ranch Inn design. As a tribute to Mickey, we’ve named our new dining experience in his honor.

“Mickey Muennig became the first master of eco-minded architecture, perfecting green roof construction more than 30 years before it became the fashionable way to build.”   

— Alastair Gordon, “California Grass” The Wall Street Journal, 2019
