Ambiente Sedona, A Landscape Hotel

This fairly new hotel in Sedona has interesting architecture. There were great views from rooms of the Red Rocks. We wanted to take advance of the night sky but unfortunately it was both a full moon and cloudy so no chance to use the Night Sky opportunity from the roof. Excellent service from all the staff. Transportation to and from Sedona restaurants provided by the staff.

Accommodation felt luxurious and the staff is more than welcoming and nice. Each room had its own private rooftop which was amazing for sunrise and sunset. We lucked out and got a room that didn't have a tree in the view but I guess its what you prefer.

This adult-only, pet friendly boutique hotel is for those looking for bougie rather than “hippy earthy” experience in Sedona. Afamily owned enterprise (to have a second location in Sedona near Oak Creek) we found the hotel to be reminiscent of the vibe experienced at places such as the Hyatt’s Andaz boutique hotels. Although it falls a bit short regarding facilities. Guests stay in bungalows that have glass walls facing the iconic Red Rocks. However, unless you are in the “front row” for those views the mountains are really only visible fully from the rooftop fire pit patios on each bungalow. This is the unique feature of this place. (The streamed promotional videos only show you the few best located bungalows). Amenities are similar to that of Andaz as an array of free snacks and nonalcoholic drinks are in the rooms. There is a free standing soaking tub, dual shower head glass shower and mini bar and sofas. Beds are comfortable but not as luxuriant or “cushy” as those we have had at Hyatt’s Andaz, Miraval and some boutique European hotels. The pool area and restaurant are lovely and quaint with fire pits and ambient lighting and poolside live smooth jazz music at night. The spa is small but with lively treatment rooms that have murals of iconic AZ natural park destinations. There is no workout facility but the hotel will drive you to a Snapfitness facility (open 24/7) less than a mile away. Also they have cabs and a luxury Lexus sports car that they use to shuttle guests up to 2 miles off property. One can hike directly from the property onto a few easy trails. The food is and cocktails are creative and very good (although not remarkable). There is a $ $40 pp stipend for breakfast - a more than adequate amount and one can pack up to go items for day trips and hikes. However no spa credit. Staff are all lovely and very accommodating. Summary: $1200 minimum per night price is steep for what one gets here but it is all about the rooftop experience and location. However it is right off of a main road in Sedona with lots of vehicle noise if staying near the road. Overall I feel the overnight is worth it mostly for the intimacy.

We have traveled extensively all over the world and the service we experienced at Ambiente was the best we’ve ever had. The staff was extremely attentive and went above and beyond at all times to make sure our stay was perfect. The rooms are lovely, the views from the rooftop are amazing and the pool and hot tub were perfect. The only thing we would have changed when designing thus property is to not have the restaurant look directly at the hot tub. Not the best dinner view. Otherwise this property is a 10 and we highly recommended it.

What an incredibly luxurious romantic property that offers spectacular views and access to all of Sedona's offerings. They have thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and romantic and convenient. The staff was very gracious, attentive, and helpful.
