"The Local Gateway Award is part of a new series of Michelin hotel honors launched in 2025, following the Architecture and Design, and Wellness awards earlier this year. The award recognizes hotels that embody a profound sense of place, blending seamlessly into their landscapes and cultures and offering travelers experiences that could exist nowhere else, and celebrates a facet of hospitality as essential as service or design."
"Each of the five nominees were selected by Michelin's anonymous inspectors for distinctive features that transform and elevate their settings, from architecture that harmonizes with the land to curated excursions that take guests beyond the retreat itself. These are among the most unique hotels in the world, set in some of its most extraordinary places, across desert, forest and coast, according to Michelin."
"Post Ranch Inn was nominated for its remarkable architecture and high-level luxury set in the natural landscape of the Central Coast. California's Big Sur is among the most romanticized natural regions in the country and it is also one of the most protected, a place with few hotels and even fewer of such world-renowned quality, says Michelin. The existence of the Post Ranch Inn is a testament to the eco-friendly design that convinced the community of its good intentions,"
