El Portal Sedona Hotel

Had a wonderful stay at El Portal for Christmas! The property is small and absolutely beautiful. It’s in an ideal spot to enjoy all of Sedona. The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. Absolutely loved the large bathroom and shower. Owners and staff were wonderful and friendly. All the little touches made this stay very memorable.

I cannot recommend El Portal enough for those who want a cozy, homey eclectic and non-commercial warmly personal experience! I just stayed there solo over Christmas and it’s very challenging to find a situation during a time people usually spend together, with enough privacy yet amenities, atmosphere, activities and beauty that for me, it was a the best solo Christmas ever! I stayed 5 nights in #10 the Greene and Greene room. It was bigger and more beautiful than the site photos can depict. Everything from the soft blue/ green stucco walls to the private deck fire pit to the jetted tub and the sound of the fountain outside made staying inside lovely as well as a short walk across to Tlaquapaque and a central location from which to drive to hiking and the landscape just perfect for me. The lovely touches such as the lobby fireplace lit, the morning coffee made early and the goodies in the 24 hour area for guests made the welcome feel even warmer. First time to Sedona but the hosts were amazing in providing everything to help orient and give helpful info from tours to restaurants and the in room guides really helped. Mostly I’d like to give a warm hug and big thank you to Shelly, Terry and the three lovely housekeeping ladies as well as Kyle who carried my very heavy suitcase upstairs, to the owners Steve and Connie for the perfect stay. I loved my experience so much that I booked 8 nights for next year in the same room before I left!

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.
