Few experiences are more
romantic than a cozy, backwoods getaway, but let's be honest: there is
such a thing as too rustic. Thankfully, Mickey Muennig—the architect
behind Big Sur's Post Ranch Inn—understood that it was possible to
maintain the integrity of the natural landscape and respect local history
without sacrificing style and good taste.
Nestled on the cliffs of
Big Sur, California, the Post Ranch Inn provides the ultimate romantic
getaway for those seeking a luxurious escape for a honeymoon, anniversary,
or a relaxing vacation. The luxury resort's organic architecture embraces
the dramatic beauty of Big Sur's coastline. From here you can explore all
that nature has to offer, or take a short drive to the picturesque towns
of Monterey and Carmel. Located off Highway One, this Small Luxury Hotel
member is a sanctuary suited to all your needs. Rooms offer a rustic
elegance with luxury and comfort
Amanbagh sits in isolation
amidst the arid Aravalli Hills near Alwar in northern India. The region is
rich in early Hindu history, dating to the dawn of Hindu civilization;
awash with legend, the epic Mahabharata tells of the five
Pandavas brothers who spent their last years in exile within a few
miles of the resort, over two millennia ago. In the more recent past, the
area was dominated by a group of warrior clans, the Rajputs, who
controlled this region of India for nearly 1000 years. Raided repeatedly
over time by Moghul armies, it was finally conquered in the 17th Century
by the Emperor Shah Jahan, the famed builder of the Taj Mahal. The
topography of the region consists of sandy plains interspersed with craggy
hills and knolls, in stark contrast to the setting for Amanbagh - a lush
oasis. Amanbagh derives its name from the words aman, meaning
‘peaceful' in Sanskrit and bagh, meaning ‘garden' in Hindi. It
lies within a walled compound that was once used by the Maharajah of Alwar
to site his mobile hunting camps in search of the elusive tigers known to
roam the nearby hills. Long since abandoned, the trees and vegetation
continue to thrive due to a reliable water supply drawn from an adjacent
lake. The resort is every bit a modern day “palace,” conceived in the
present, but humbly paying homage to the traditional architecture and
design that has prevailed throughout the past.
The first
lodge was built in 1919 as a food and rest stop to meet the needs of the
influx of tourists. Walk into the present day Dining Room to view the
lodge's original fireplace and feast on the same traditional country
breakfast that's been the talk of many area towns for generations. The
building was completely remodeled and reopened as Salish Lodge in 1988.
Construction on the award-winning spa began in 1995 and was opened to
the public on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1996.
