January & February
at Post Ranch
During January and February, 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 will remain 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’ll be converting the Post Gallery into 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. And should you decide to venture into town for dinner at one of the excellent local restaurants, we’ll drop you off and pick you up in a Lexus from our fleet.
Still on the fence? Well, for these two months only, you can take advantage of our Getaway Rates, offering 20% off our normal room rates plus a resort credit based on the length of your visit that can be used for dining, spa treatments, activities, or gifts at the Mercantile.
