Gorgeous common spaces and enormous room with beautiful southwest decor. Included breakfast bar was top notch and complimentary afternoon snacks and beverages were a lovely touch. Outdoor courtyard with firepit, Adirondack chairs and multi-colored Edison lights was a delightful spot to unwind at the end of the day. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

It would be a shame to call this masterpiece of an inn a hotel. We loved the history, design, craftsmanship, materials and cleanliness of this rustic adobe style build. Our room #9 "Rim View" had a clear view of Snoopy Rock and other formations that draw everyone to Sedona. The room was spacious with a rustic cathedral ceiling featuring large exposed beams throughout. The room featured rustic furniture, lighting and a log style king sized bed that slept like a dream. Although the inn has 12 suites, is very very quiet. Off of the main grand lobby was a 24 hour coffee, drinks, snacks and fresh baked cookies as well as multiple choices for breakfast. Ample room for breakfast either by the large fireplace or in the alcove area. There was also a large patio area with plants and a fish pond along side chairs with a fire pit and "smores" making kits. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

El Portal is a hidden treasure tucked away in the most perfect location! We had a magical experience and were so supported by the wonderful owners and staff! Our room was a lovely suite filled with beautiful furnishings, textiles, and art. The bathroom and tub were next level! What an unforgettable experience, so grateful!

What an amazing experience at El Portal! It’s like walking back in time to a beautiful, relaxing garden resort right in the heart of Sedona. We had an upstairs room 10 and it was one of the nicest rooms we’ve ever had. We enjoyed the complimentary pool/spa next door n the afternoon and then had dinner at the nearby Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village restaurant El Rincon. After dinner, we enjoyed the Flamenco music in the courtyard. Then, a 3 minute walk to our room where we enjoyed S’mores on the fire pit on our private balcony. Don’t pass this place without stopping…fantastic!

Our experience at El Portal was wonderful in every way. We stayed in Room # 3 The Garden Court... it 9x143looked even more spacious in person. Loved the decor and warmth of our room and main lobby area with fire always going and at night big firepit in courtyard to sit around. This place has so much character and attention to detail..it truly feels magical being here. The staff and guests we met were all so nice. We had the opportunity to meet Steve the owner who was very personable and you can see his passion for making this place what it is.Even as a pet friendly hotel it was very quiet and the dogs we did see were well behaved! Thank you everyone at El Portal for an exceptional visit!
