El Portal Sedona Hotel

If you’re looking for a quiet setting with beautiful rooms, excellent amenities and the service to match this is your destination. The rooms were large and very comfortable. Everything worked really well including the shower. They even have s’mores in the evening.! This is a pet friendly hotel.

From the moment you arrive at El Portal Sedona and step into the beautiful courtyard, you can let out a big, relaxing breath. The place is stunning, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The check-in process is seamless and nothing like the big chain hotels. As a boutique hotel, they offer a personal touch—you'll be walked to your room and shown how everything works. If you bring a dog, you'll be delighted to find beds and bowls to make your fur baby comfortable. The lobby has a fridge with complimentary snacks and drinks available 24 hours a day. I've stayed here many times and am always excited to return to Sedona and El Portal. If you need help with things to do or want recommendations, the staff is always eager to help you find just the right activities and places. The owners, Steve and Connie, are incredibly nice and work very hard to make every guest's stay amazing. If you're planning a trip to Sedona, stay at El Portal—you won't regret it.

Our daughter booked this lodging for our 2 nite family stay in Sedona for three adults and a grandpup. There is a parking lot for guests in the front. It's like a hidden sanctuary that's not visible til you enter the gate. The reception is straight to the left. Our room #7 had a king size bed, a couch, a fireplace, a mini fridge in the closet, a shower and a cool sunken bath tub. You can tell they carefully planned every detail from the furnishings, the construction with open beams and very safe and quiet. Our room had a rustic theme. The breakfast nook and lobby is like a lodge and it's like having executive privileges to get snacks, beverages and breakfast. The landscaping is beautiful and there are a lot of stained glass additions, at least 2 in our room. In the afternoon there was an area for a fire pit to sit around. One afternoon there was a sudden rain storm which disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It was very cozy to have a little siesta in the comfort and shelter of our room. Tlaquepaque is a short walk from the hotel for dining options.

We just spent 3 days at El Portal. Steve and Connie have created a wonderful place of understated elegance and luxury. The rooms are each unique and very comfortable. The “great room “ provides a place to relax and chat or read. The courtyard in the evening with a fire and glass of wine is unsurpassed.

One of my new favorite hotels anywhere. The owners and staff make you feel like you're a guest in their home. The rooms are fantastic, quiet and very serene. They are pet friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is comfy. Compared to other much higher prices in Sedona, this is by far the best option. We'll be back.
