Where to Stay

To rope the rustic romance of Sedona, you need not look very hard. Whether you crave a cozy cabin, a three-diamond resort, or modest motel, Sedona has a room with a view where you can hang your hat. Most accommodations can be found in four major areas: Uptown Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, West Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek, just outside of town.

Village of Oak Creek/Chapel Area

Guests at the Bell Rock Inn dine with a view at the on-site restaurant. Located near the Tuzigoot National Monument, the Alma de Sedona is a bed and breakfast that offers comfort and style in its 10 different guest rooms.

Guests at the Inn on Oak Creek Bed & Breakfast can slip into a two-person Jacuzzi after a long day's exploring. Travelers staying at Poco Diablo Resort can make their way across the green lawn to the on-site restaurant, T. Carl's, which offers sumptuous Southwestern fare and overlooks the golf course. A short distance away is The Desert Quail Inn, a casual haunt with reasonable room rates.

Uptown Sedona

Morning light touches the rooftops of the exclusive country French cottages at L'Auberge de Sedona, where breakfast warms in a lavish European lodge. Nearby is the homely Apple Orchard Inn, conveniently located by Red Rock State Park.

Guests at the Arroyo Roble Hotel have the option of a game on the rolling greens of the Sedona Golf Resort. Tlaquepaque's artisan village is also not far from the hotel, and offers a welcome break from a busy day.

Oak Creek Canyon

Morning stretches like a shadow into Oak Creek Canyon, where guests can lounge on a sun-soaked redwood deck at Junipine Resort.

The surroundings at the Briar Patch Inn offer plenty of opportunities for snapping photos. Not far away is Pine Flats Campground, where you can spend the weekend roughing it in the forest.

West Sedona

At the lovely Kokopelli Suites, outdoor enthusiasts can saddle up for an outing with Trail Horse Adventures and return to take a dip in the swimming pool. Tourists looking for less costly accommodations can stop at Days Inn, which is close to the American Indian pueblo at Walnut Canyon National Monument.

At Boots & Saddles Bed and Breakfast, a cowboy's heart is dressed to the nines in character and comfort. Guests at the popular Best Western relax on the open terrace and watch the light deepen from orange to red.
