4- and 5-star hotels in Sedona
It is for travellers weighing resort spas, canyon-side lodges and small inns, with guest ratings, distances to the centre and facilities laid out side by side.
Staying in Sedona
Sedona has long drawn artists and visitors interested in spiritual and wellness practices, with galleries and studios in the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village and various centres and tours in the area. Outdoor recreation is central: easy walks to challenging hikes, jeep tours, mountain biking and golf. The climate is mild in spring and fall, hot in summer and cool in winter with occasional snow, and the town works as a base for Montezuma Castle and, on a longer drive, the Grand Canyon.
The hotels here sit on both sides of Highway 89A and along Highway 179. Several cluster near the centre: L'Auberge de Sedona on L'auberge Lane, A Sunset Chateau on Sunset Drive, Creekside Inn Sedona on Copper Cliffs Dr and Amara Resort and Spa on Amara Lane, all within roughly 2 km of the centre. Others lie further out, including Mii amo and Enchantment on Boynton Canyon Rd, The Wilde Resort and Spa on West State Route 89A, Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock on Ridge Trail Dr and Outbound Sedona on State Route 179. Couples, families, spa-seekers and short-break visitors all find something; a car helps.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Sedona is most easily reached by car. The nearest major airport is Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, about 45 minutes north, with limited service; Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, about two hours south, offers more flights and rental cars. From Phoenix, take Interstate 17 north to Highway 179 or 89A. There is no commercial airport in Sedona. Once in town, a car is useful for reaching trailheads and attractions, though some areas are walkable. Public bus service is limited; taxis and rideshares are available but can be scarce at peak times, and parking at popular trailheads fills early.
When to go
The most comfortable times to visit are spring (March to May) and fall (September to November), when daytime temperatures are mild and skies are often clear. Summer can be hot, with highs often above 32°C (90°F), so early morning activities are advisable. Winter is cooler, with occasional snow, but many trails remain accessible and crowds are smaller. Rainfall is spread throughout the year, with a slight peak in late summer.
