Inspiring travel stories, travel planning, and travel journal - all in the perfect holiday gift. Bon Voyage — a book by Jetsetter
Our editors have been here and it has met our standards.
With the mysterious Red Rocks of Sedona (as well as those supposed mystical vortexes) looming large in the background, the low-key and tasteful Sedona Rouge is a smart, stylish choice in the high desert. Mercifully devoid howling coyotes, turquoise dreamcatchers and other Southwestern design clichés, this small, mod hotel exudes Mediterranean flair with Moroccan accents, all wrapped around a spa that made Deepak Chopra rave.

The setting was beautiful. The pool and pool service were great. Meals at Reds (one breakfast and one dinner) were delicious. Staff was helpful and polite.
What I disliked
We were a little more removed from Actual Sedona (Uptown as it is called) than I expected. I don't recall Jetsetter mentioning this and it would have been nice to know.

once we realized we weren't staying at a resort (and glad we weren't paying full price), we were extremely pleased with this chic, comfortable, well-located hotel with all the amenities. Like the Viceroy and hotels of its ilk, great care was taken with the design and color scheme in this hotel. Rich reds and Andalusian decor elements are throughout the property and it's just really pretty.
The hotel occupies a small property in West Sedona on a busy main street. It's in a commercial district, across the street from a minimall that contains a Safeway and a Petco. Next door is a doggie day care and a pet grooming spot (which, since we were traveling with our dogs, we appreciated).
Our room was spacious and private, with a small patio in a grassy area that was perfect for us. Dog waste bags are provided, and overall having dogs with us was a non-issue, which was really nice for an upscale hotel. We were really pleased with how well-planned the dog areas are.
Because we were in a pet-friendly
What I disliked
I felt that the Jetsetter write-up made the property seem like it was going to be a grand resort, when in fact it was a very nice boutique hotel. Once I re-evaluated my expectations, I was very happy with it.

Everything was perfect. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Our room was wonderful and spotless! Beds were comfortable and the view was beautful. Great resaturant and bar. One evening we got back very late after a day trip to the Grand Canyon and all I wanted was a drink. They were getting ready to close up but the bartender took pitty on me and poured me a lovely glass of wine on the house. The pool was very nice. I never got a chance to go to the spa but everyone I saw leaving the spa looked relaxed and happy.
What I disliked
Sedona is beautiful but very low key. They roll up the sidewalks early so if you're looking for nightlife, this isn't the place for you. I'm not complaining at all, but my 14 year old found things a bit dull after the sun went down.

Surrounding, quiet, great room service. Spa was great but wished hours were open longer at night.
What I disliked
Food at the Reds was too salty.

The style of the hotel and the rooms were very nice.
What I disliked
the location next to a safeway was a little weird. They also need a better pool boy and more chairs with shade.
Olivia W 1 year agoWhat I liked
Central location, comfortable beds, friendly housekeeping and wait staff.
What I disliked
Overall property is very dated and tired-looking and tucked in next to the Safeway parking lot (which is the view from most rooms). Pool area is very small and poorly maintained with ripped cushions; trash in firepit and dingy pool and hot tub tiles. Other than having a waiting area, the spa is not really a spa (one-person steam room and one-person hot tub area!) so you really have to come in right before your treatment and leave right after. Dining room/bar area is sort of a Dennys-type environment. Front desk staff very inflexible. Couldn't check out at 11:30, even though I was spending $200 in the "spa" from 10-11am!! Concierge was unable to make recommendations for dining, hiking or anything else -- (quote: "I like everything on the list, they are all equally good"??!!). Unusable balcony in the rooms, small closet that really couldn't be used either, bathroom with low quality tilework and one small sink.

Comfy bed, big shower, very nice pool and hot tub, wonderful restaurant with great French Toast, helpful staff.
What I disliked
It would have been nice if they lit the fire by the pool at night...I was disappointed they didn't, especially because it was a cool night and was in all the hotel promo pictures.
