My husband and I travel to Sedona about 3 times a year with friends or family and decided it was time for just us. We wanted to celebrate our 20th anniversary in a place known for beauty and relaxation. We were looking for a special place to stay and found the El Portal Luxury Inn a few months back and... more

The good things about this inn include the gorgeous decor and lovely courtyard. In addition, you can walk to a popular outdoor mall with lots of cool shops and restaurants. However, I was looking for a restful getaway and the noise from the other rooms was terrible. I was on the ground floor and I heard people constantly all through... more

Beautiful mexican hacienda architecture created just six years ago, but looks 100 years old. Friendly and knowledgeable host. Terrific room and ambience. Stayed there for 3 days because it was so well regarded and also dog friendly. We find several of the top of the end properties throughout the country are pet friendly. Had reservations at the Lodge of Sedona... more

El Portal was a dream! We had our wedding here May 9th and it was nothing short of spectacular. The rooms and the inn are amazing. Beautifully decorated, cozy and warm. The staff went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy, comfortable and well taken care of. The grounds were in full bloom and the courtyard fire... more

It was huge and full of rough hewn, rustic furniture accented by cozy Southwest colors and fabrics. The bathroom was terrific and the twin outlet shower was simply huge. There was also an instant-on gas fireplace... more

Finding a great hotel that will also take a dog is a major challenge, but at el portal that was not an issue. It is a small inn that has 12 rooms that are beautiful. The inner courtyard is a great place to unwind and meet other guests. The staff is extremely nice and have an answer/suggestion for any question.... more

We had the pleasure of staying at El Portal in Sedona last week. After looking at all the options in Sedona via the internet, we settled on this small hacienda-like hideaway near an upscale shopping area. The internet pictures do not do this 12 room hotel justice. It is even more attractive, cozy and appealing than advertised. We stayed in... more

Finding a pet-friendly hotel that also has character is not easy in most cases. However, my wife and I found the El Portal hotel to be the perfect marriage between comfort and luxury in what has to be the most beautiful town in America...Sedona, AZ. Living in Phoenix has afforded us the opportunity to visit Sedona on many occasions, often... more
