Arabella Hotel Sedona

This was an excellent hotel, with helpful staff, beautiful grounds and large, well-stocked and thoughtfully designed rooms. I'd recommend requesting the ground-floor rooms that open into the garden. It was cool to wake up to the scent of flowers and chirping of birds in front of the red rocks. There were hummingbirds visiting the feeders hung in the garden which was a real treat for us, having never seen hummingbirds in real life before! Room itself was large and had good storage; we especially liked the convenience of the sink area being separated from the shower/WC. Very useful when multiple people are staying together. Appreciated the generous amounts of toiletries, especially the big bottle of body lotion: a huge help in the dry climate. The fridge was also big compared to those in other hotels, which was much needed to cool all our drinks for long hikes. You can walk right from the property up to Sunset Vista, which has red deck chairs and offers great 360 degree views of the rocks and is beautiful at sunset. Brett, the concierge, gave an interesting free talk on the history of Sedona and its wildlife/geographic features, and he also provided us with a helpful guide to hikes based on difficulty. I recommend having a chat with him first on where you'd like to go as he's a seasoned hiker. The hotel also has other free activities from meditation to stargazing (which we unfortunately missed because it's on Sundays). The property is also conveniently near Marg’s Draw Trailhead, a K-Mart and nice restaurants (Mole, The Hudson) Also a shout out to Geoff, who answered my questions on Pink Jeep tours online even before we arrived. The hotel can help you book these or otherwise provide useful info. Overall, the staff were helpful and friendly, from the housekeepers to the reception staff. There was also a live performance each night by a local singer, and you could sit by the chairs with firepits. Made for a nice and memorable stay in Sedona.

This is a nice property that despite showing its age is fairly well maintained, rather well located and in a nice setting - which one may suppose could be said of all of Sedona. The lobby area is welcoming with it's friendly staff and guest amenity. The high point of our stay was the continental breakfast which featured a very nice selection of healthy and tasty breakfast items; kudos for a task well done! Ashleigh at the front desk was exceptional - helpful, gracious and accommodating in helping resolve certain issues regarding our room. Special compliment: thank you again, Ashleigh.

Loved the location, the ambience of the hotel with views of the mountains. The restaurant attached was fantastic and the food was great. Breakfast was also great. My favorite part was the swinging basket chair on the patio outside my room. So comfortable and excellent for medication, star gazing or reading.

Wonderful friendly ambiance. We loved the fire pits and live music in the evening. The concierge, Brett was very helpful with booking our tour and providing directions to restaurants, etc. The breakfast was delicious and well maintained throughout the mornings. Our room was a nice size and it was very convenient to park at our door. The grounds are easy to navigate and beautifully maintained. The pool area was lovely as well.

This is a great place to stay and I would have no hesitation in returning here or recommending other people to stay here. I loved the pool and hot tub area. I was lucky to have it to myself most times I used the area - maybe everyone else was off hiking somewhere? I also really liked the lookout area above the hotel. It was a great place to watch the rocks change colour as the sun set. Our room was lovely but I would definitely look to book one of the rooms near the pool area next time (I could see myself in one of the egg chairs!). The breakfast is hands down the best hotel breakfast I've had in a while - the muffins were awesome. I enjoyed putting together my own little breakfast burrito each morning.
