The Big Sur River Inn is an unforgettable one-stop vacation destination where traditions are born and thrive, year after year. Nestled amid towering redwoods along the scenic Big Sur River, the River Inn is Big Sur’s first hotel and restaurant, and remains a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
Stay in the heart of Big Sur in one of our comfortable, cabin-feel guest rooms. Our riverside suites overlook the expansive lawn and redwood-lined Big Sur River. Our motel-style ridge rooms are located along historic Highway One across from the main lodge.
While your here, renew your spirit at our restaurant and full service bar at the Big Sur River Inn. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on our outdoor decks, the lawn or along the bank of the Big Sur River. Also explore our burrito bar inside our general store and grab an ice cream at our famous bus.
From summer Sunday live music to annual holiday celebrations to movie nights on the lawn, we at the Big Sur River Inn love family and community, and bringing locals and visitors alike together.
