Dear Poor Troubled Global Economy, we're going to splurge on the Post Ranch Inn. Xoxo, HotelChatter.

It's no secret that the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, Calif. is one of the most scenic hotels in the U.S. with beyond-killer views of the Pacific Ocean from each room and a location on the windy backdrop of Highway 1.

The hotel was in harm's way over the summer during the Big Sur fire but has rebounded this winter and is now offering a new Stay and Dine Escape package. The deal includes lodging, a four-course prix-fixe dinner for two and daily breakfast. The hotel also offers complimentary activities and services from yoga classes to guided nature walks and mindful movement meditation, something we could desperately use right now.

Room rates at this paradise are always on the budget-busting side but the prices for this deal are a bit less than the regular rack rate. And sometimes in these hard times, we just need to make ourselves feel better, no matter the cost. At the Post Ranch Inn, it will definitely be worth it.

Here is the breakdown per night.:

· Cliff House with private hot tub, $1975
· Pacific Suites, $1575 / $1775
· Coast House, $1100
· Tree House or Mountain House, $800
· Butterfly Room, $655

An example of the breaks: The Tree House room is going $895 next week and the Cliff House for $2,185 and those don't include the dinner. It's not much of a discount but it does help. Rates are based on double occupancy and do not include taxes or gratuities.
