Big Sur Hotels, Lodging, Ventana Inn and Spa

BIG SUR, CA – Due to a structural fire at Cielo restaurant on August 10, Ventana Inn & Spa is forced to remain closed after the Basin Complex fire shut down the property in July.

In order to reopen the resort with full services, a small kitchen is under construction in the Inn’s main lobby. Ventana will offer a menu of specialty items for breakfast, lunch room service and dinner.

The projected date to reopen Cielo restaurant is April 1, 2009.
