El Portal is a gem! This is our second trip to this extraordinary inn. It feels like you are a guest in someone's home. There are 12 unique rooms in a cozy setting. On our first trip in Oct. 2008, we stayed in the Governor's Suite for 5 nights. That room is beautiful with period furniture and very large. On... more

We stayed here for a few days prior to our wedding in Sedona. It was a great place for our friends and family to spend time with us in the courtyard and restaurant. It was convenient to the shopping area. The room was amazing and was roomy enough for our friends to visit us for our pre-wedding festivities. Great place... more

After extensive travels throughout the US, Europe, Central America, South America, and Africa, I've finally found my favorite place to stay on the whole planet, El Portal Sedona . Each of the twelve suites, while equally elegant and well-appointed, is unique in design and decor. I'm tempted to return at least eleven more times to experience each of these lovely... more

El Portal is a small, very dog friendly inn located within minutes of Sedona art galleries, restaurants, and hiking trails. We stayed in the Hiles suite which is one of a handful of suites where your dog can stay with you. The suite was spacious with a kng bed, a separate sitting area with a fireplace and large bathroom with... more

This small 12-room gem, tucked away in downtown Sedona, was the perfect getaway spot. Accommodations were clean, spacious, comfy, and *very* quiet. The other guests we met during our stay were equally smitten with the place and its VERY helpful staff. A casual and congenial agreement with a neighboring (large) resort for the use of its pool and fitness center... more

When we arrived there was no one around. On a table in the dining room (with a desk that serves as the front desk) was a plastic bag with my name and the room key. Anybody could have picked it up. Another man was also looking for somebody to handle the checkin process. We both thought informality is fine but... more

I stayed in the Grand Canyon Room with a traveling companion for one night. Pros: The photos on their website don't do the place justice. The staff is warm and welcoming but never cloying. Little touches like a card remembering I mentioned an upcoming anniversary with a gift a little chocolate bars. The puppies were thrilled with the private patio... more

I recently spent a week at El Portal with my elderly labrador retriever Henry. This is thee hotel for dogs. Henry was as welcomed as I was and included tours of the great room on his daily walks. The hotel is simply gorgeous, with incredible attention to detail, warmth and hospitality. It is truly a home away from home and... more

My wife and I stayed at El Portal 4 nights during our first visit to Sedona and I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with an elegant rustic feel. The staff will do everything possible to make your stay memorable. We used the lodge as a base for hiking and mountain biking and we are... more
