El Portal Sedona Hotel

The hotel has an Inn style feel, it?s super cute and centrally located. Pets are welcome at the hotel for no extra fees. The room we stayed in had a small dog run. When you check in, the staff escorts you to the room and explains all the amenities.

The room was spacious, comfortable, well designed and laid out. The owners thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable and special.

The maid service did not come into the room during our stay. We were there 2 nights. However, the room had plenty of towels and was immaculate when we arrived. We really didn't need the service...just unusual that it was not provided in a luxury hotel.

The whole place is very unique. Courtyard fire pit was so cool. The whole family loved the place. This is our third time.

Amazing. Decor is so fantastic, a little southwestern and very unique. Extremely dog friendly and the center courtyard is the absolute best. They have several fire pits and make s¿mores kits for you to use. The little touches at this place are amazing!

Absolutely not. This place is fantastic! I cannot say anything bad about this spot.

Complimentary breakfast

The property is very unique. Friendly staff and wonderful location. Continental breakfast and soft drinks provided.

EVERYTHING! Our rooms simple, authentic furnishings, original art, fireplace - ahh! The garden courtyard with nightly fires outside and the lodge lobby with gorgeous timbers, homemade cookies and meeting the basset hounds was a highlight.

El Portal was perfection for our 38th anniversary Sedona staycation.

The staff here was charming and very helpful. Location within town was very walkable and ideal even if it doesn’t have views.

Beautiful architecture - probably one of the most good-looking hotels in Sedona aside from some of the more expensive resorts. Also includes access to the next-door hotel's spa facilities which we used and loved.

I stayed at El Portal Hotel in Sedona and had an absolutely wonderful experience. With so many hotels in the area priced similarly, I chose El Portal somewhat at random and went in with no expectations — and I was completely blown away. The property is breathtaking; every detail feels intentional, from the furniture to the artwork, and you can truly see the pride and care the owners and staff put into the space. The location is perfect — walkable to fantastic restaurants and shops — which made the stay even better. I will absolutely be back and have already recommended it to friends.

Adored everything about it.

The location is great. We ate breakfast next door at The Secret Garden one day and Creekside another day

I hated that we could only stay 2 days

The property is located in the heart of Sedona, we didn’t have to travel far, mostly walked to shops, restaurants and things to do. The property was so lovely and the fire pit area was amazing. I loved all the snacks that were on hand at all time. Kept me fueled for our outings. Staff was a delight.

Our bathroom smelled of raw sewage, the shower was covered in black mold on the ceiling and walls. The tub was questionable bc of the way it looked, the tub had patchwork. There was hair in the sink area. The sleeper bed was atrocious. I have slept on pull out couches and this is by far one of the worst ones, it felt like it had been one of the original ones. Also I understand it is a dog friends space and I have dogs, but due to the bathroom and lack of cleaning I cannot help but wonder if they are cleaning enough in each room to get rid of any pet dander. So take caution when booking if you have a dog allergy, DO NOT BOOK HERE.

Hands down one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in! The care, quality, and attention to detail are evident from the moment you pull into the drive and see the beautiful vine-covered entry. It only gets better from there- thoughtful communal spaces, authentic art and architecture, genuine finishes and intentional, locally and historically informed, design. The staff is so kind and welcoming. The place exudes quality and class yet is also down to earth, charming, and feels like home. A real five star stay. The honor bar, complementary snacks, many fireplaces, and great conversations were icing on the cake. Absolutely stellar, we cannot wait to come back!

We loved everything, the only thing we didn't like was the fact we could not stay longer. Seriously, it was a dream and inspires me to visit Sedona more often, just to stay at El Portal. Only thing I'd add is a baseball cap with embroidery? I bought the one they had, and it's good, but I'm dreaming of an embroidery-style one...

The rooms are beautiful as is the whole hotel. Love that it is tucked away but still close to walk to shops and restaurants.

All was very lovely!

The hotel is in a great location. It is quaint and charming with beautiful, unique decor and architecture. Terri and Fran were very welcoming and gave us information on great hikes in the area. We loved the self- serve snacks and drinks available at all hours. We also loved having a glass of wine while sitting outside by the fireplace . The rooms are very spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable with extra pillows. We originally booked 1 night but decided to extend our stay for an extra 2 nights as we loved it so much! We can’t wait to come back!

Roomy, uniqueness, location

No complaints

This is a little slice of heaven in Sedona. The attention to every detail at this property is very clear. It’s so gorgeous at every turn. Even stained glass on the doors! We stayed in the Flat Rock Hickory room #5 and it was stunning. The bed was so comfortable and the room so well appointed. Vaulted ceilings with wood beams was stunning. The bathroom had an enormous soaking tub out of your dreams. They have all little snacks in the kitchen as part of your stay and amazing coffee in the morning. The outdoor space has crawling ivy on the building and woven into the lights and a gorgeous wood fire pit (they even have little bags to make s’mores). I mean…. EVERY DETAIL! You will not be disappointed staying here. It is a 2 minute walk to Tlaquepaque shopping which is so fantastic (don’t miss eating at Rene)! They also have a pool and spa next door which is fantastic. The staff was so welcoming and lovely, as well.

Not a thing! Hotel El Portal is amazing!

Small and unique. Felt like an honored guest in a manor home!

Had an older ambiance than expected but truly unique character and old world turn of the century charm!

loved the big room! The patio with fire pit was an added bonus. Also really enjoyed both a tub and shower. The late night access to tea and snacks was lovely.

Everything. The gardens, the fireplaces, the decor, I loved every detail, loved that it was pet friendly, I loved the fresh baked cookies and snacks, the option for a glass of wine or beverage charged to your room. The history! everything!

Nothing, it was all amazing! I didn't want to leave
