This contemporary coastal inn facing the Pacific Ocean is artfully blended into 160 acres of meadows, canyons and old-growth redwood groves. The 59 cedar lodgings in a dozen annexes are set along a forested ridge. Many rooms come with fireplaces and private decks with hot tubs. The property also comprises a luxurious camp set in a redwood forest with 15 safari-style canvas tents and a Bath House offering teak showers and heated floors. Creative meals, augmented by a 10,000-bottle cellar of small-production Central Coast wines, are served in the appealing clifftop Sur House restaurant. The hotel also hosts a daily wine and cheese reception. Other amenities include an extensive spa offering two 75-foot outdoor pools and Japanese hot baths. The hotel does not permit guests under the age of 18.
SurStream, a new custom-designed mini-Airstream, serves drinks and snacks Thursday through Saturday down at the campsite.
