Sedona Hotels

Although located 7.5 miles south of Sedona along Hwy 179 in the village of Oak Creek, the Hilton Resort enjoys the same red rock scenery - north-facing rooms & suites look out towards Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte and many other tall sandstone peaks, while those on the south side have views of the 18-hole golf course. The many other facilities at this luxurious hotel include a full service Spa, two dining outlets, a tennis court, three swimming pools, a well equipped fitness center and 20,000 sq ft of meeting/event space. There are plenty of other restaurants, and small shops, within a few minutes walk in the nearby village.

In the east section of Sedona, where most of the gift shops, art galleries and other tourist facilities are found, the 65 room Best Western Arroyo Roble Hotel at 400 N Highway 89A has excellent views over the red and white cliffs that surround the town, at the mouth of Oak Creek Canyon. This is an upmarket establishment - one of the top rated hotels in Sedona, and features private balconies and patios, a large outdoor pool, a steam room & spa, landscaped gardens with fountains, and complimentary breakfast. Numerous shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance.

At the east edge of West Sedona, the 110 room Best Western Inn of Sedona hotel (1200 W Highway 89A, 1 block from Soldier Pass Road) sits on a small hill set back a way from the highway, with excellent views over the suburbs of Sedona to the south and east, and the towering cliffs of Capitol Butte to the north. The hotel is built in the traditional Southwestern adobe style to blend in with the surrounding red rocks and is close to several hiking trails including the Soldier Pass route to the top of Brins Mesa. Free deluxe continental breakfast is served; for other meals there are many restaurants half a mile or less to the west, along the main road. Facilities include a heated outdoor pool, spa, complimentary airport shuttle, concierge, guest laundry, and 2 meeting rooms.

The small (15 room) Rodeway Inn Iris Garden provides simple, affordable accommodation right in downtown (east) Sedona, one block from the many shops and galleries along AZ 179 and within sight of the red rocks to the north - the motel sits along Jordan Road, which one mile further reaches the trailhead for the hike to Brins Mesa. Despite the low rates the inn offers decent facilities, principally free continental breakfast, an outdoor hot tub, and a microwave, refrigerator & pillow top mattresses in each room.

Hampton Inn Sedona is located in the middle of the main commercial area in town, along US 89A one block from a large supermarket, and also within a short walk of many other restaurants & shops. The place is quite small, just 55 rooms, with views either of the sheltered courtyard garden with pool & hot tub, or of the high red slopes of Capitol Butte, which rise up just over one mile north. The Hilton-managed hotel also offers free hot breakfast, guest laundry, a fitness center, a business center and a 50 person meeting room.
