Best Hotels in Sedona

Sedona’s hotel market skews upscale — the visitor demographic and limited supply push average rates well above comparable-sized cities. The most distinctive properties are positioned within or adjacent to the red rock landscape rather than on the main commercial strip.

Luxury Resorts

Enchantment Resort (525 Boynton Canyon Rd) is Sedona’s premier resort, positioned within Boynton Canyon — one of the four vortex sites and one of the most dramatically beautiful canyons in the area. The 218-room property includes casitas, suites, and Mii amo Spa (a destination spa requiring separate booking). The spa alone draws visitors from across the Southwest. Pools, tennis, fitness, and guided nature activities are included. From approximately $400-$900 per night as of 2026; Mii amo spa packages significantly higher.

L’Auberge de Sedona (301 L’Auberge Ln, on Oak Creek) is a 93-room creek-side resort with individual cottages and rooms set along the oak-shaded banks of Oak Creek. The restaurant L’Auberge (one of Sedona’s best dining options) is on-site. Creek swimming access from the property. From approximately $350-$750 per night.

Amara Resort and Spa (100 Amara Ln, off AZ-89A) is a 100-room boutique resort in Uptown with a pool and spa — closer to the main dining and shopping strip than the canyon-based properties. From approximately $280-$480 per night.

Mid-Range Boutique

Sky Rock Sedona (75 Bell Rock Blvd, Village of Oak Creek) is a 108-room hotel at the south end of Sedona, within walking distance of Bell Rock trailhead. Views of Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte from many rooms. Pool and fitness center. Generally less expensive than Uptown properties of similar quality. From approximately $200-$350 per night.

Arabella Hotel Sedona (725 N AZ-89A, Uptown) is a 98-room hotel with a pool and rooftop bar. Home to Elote Cafe on the ground floor — a significant advantage for guests. From approximately $140-$220 per night.

The Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa (2250 W AZ-89A) is a 77-room boutique with a pool, spa, and rooftop yoga deck. Located on the west side of Uptown, closer to the Airport Mesa vortex and Boynton Canyon trailhead direction. From approximately $150-$260 per night.

Budget Options

Sedona Real Inn & Suites (95 Arroyo Piñon Dr, Village of Oak Creek) is one of the more affordable options in Sedona with a pool and kitchenette suites. From approximately $110-$180 per night as of 2026.

Wildflower Inn (6086 AZ-179, Village of Oak Creek) — a modest independent motel from approximately $100-$160 per night. Village of Oak Creek location is quieter and generally less expensive than Uptown.

Choosing Where to Stay

Stay in Uptown (Arabella, Sedona Rouge, Amara) for walkable access to restaurants, galleries, and tour operators on AZ-89A. The trade-off is noise and traffic in peak season.

Stay in Boynton Canyon (Enchantment) for maximum seclusion and landscape immersion. A car is required for dinner, as the resort is several miles from the restaurant cluster.

Stay along Oak Creek (L’Auberge) for the creek-side atmosphere; the creekside cottages are the most atmospheric accommodations in Sedona.

Stay in the Village of Oak Creek (Sky Rock, Sedona Real Inn) for lower rates and proximity to Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte — the best value location for hikers.

Booking Notes

Spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) are peak seasons — book 4-6 weeks ahead minimum, and 2-3 months ahead for the most desirable properties. Summer rates drop somewhat despite the heat; December-February is the quietest period. The Enchantment Resort and L’Auberge book out well in advance for long weekends and holidays year-round.
