EL PORTAL SEDONA HOTEL – A LUXURY INN


AAA FOUR DIAMOND HOTEL


EL PORTAL IS NOW ONE OF ONLY 7 MICHELIN KEY HOTELS IN ARIZONA

The hotels are each vetted and judged excellent in five categories: architecture
and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and
character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the guest
experience in a particular setting. Like those well-known stars that indicate
the best culinary experiences, these MICHELIN Keys reveal the most outstanding
stays.


THE EL PORTAL HOTEL – ONE MICHELIN KEY: A VERY SPECIAL STAY

“This is a true gem with its own character and personality. It may break the
mold, offer something different or be one of the best of its type. Service
always goes the extra mile and provides significantly more than similarly priced
establishments.”


ONE RECENT GUEST SAYS IT ALL:

“Had a great stay at El Portal Sedona Hotel. The main reason I chose this
location to stay at during our trip to Sedona was because of its pet friendly
reviews.
Pros:

• Pet friendly! You’re allowed to bring your pet with you throughout the hotel
as long as they are on leash. They also provide a little doggy welcome kit with
blankets, towels, dog treats and the pet rules. – we stayed in room 7. It had a
nice large patio that wrapped around the side of the room. Note: there are two
steps to enter that room.

• Friendly staff! They shared information about pet friendly restaurants (they
have menus near registration) and also shared information about the story of El
Portal which was pretty neat since the owners used to own a pet store. They also
walked me to the room to show the highlights and to see if I had any questions

• There is a snack bar that has a variety of snacks and beverages that you can
help yourself to. If you want a snack at night, your bedroom key gets you inside
that room. While we didn’t take advantage of the fire pits in the courtyard,
there were s’mores making kits which was super cute.

• For people who wanted more premium drinks/alcohol, there was an honor policy
list where you could pay for items that you take. -they also had a few items to
have for breakfast (pastries, coffee) -we didn’t use the pool or gym but glad to
know those are additional amenities you can take advantage of.

Cons:
• None overall, excellent stay. Highly recommend.”

> The location is absolutely perfect; easy walking distance of many nice

> things. The hotel itself is amazing, containing an unbelievable amount to art
> work, period furniture and antiques. Steve and his wife, Connie, have been
> collecting all their lives, and their collection is amazing. The hotel itself
> is a re-creation of a century-old inn, built around a central garden and fire
> pit and done so well that one would never know it is only 20+ years old. We
> spend a good deal of time just enjoying the hotel and its surroundings.
> Complimentary, snacks, sodas, excellent coffee, a very nice continental

> A Perfect Experience!
> While this small boutique hotel looks like it has been there for decades, it
> was actually built recently by Steve and Connie Segner. Built of adobe, the
> walls are 18 inches thick. Our room had a large stone gas fireplace.
> The king-size bed was very comfortable and the room furnishings are all unique
> to each of the 12 rooms. A central courtyard was beautifully decorated for
> Christmas and each evening a fire was made in the fire pit for guests to make
> s’mores. S’more kits were provided in the main lobby, which featured a
> beautiful wood burning fireplace.
> One of the best things about the hotel is welcome your dog will receive, with
> its own basket of goodies in your room.
> The hotel is located near many good restaurants and if you wish to swim or
> work out, you are welcome to do so at the Los Abrigados Resort next door.
> The Segners were often available which shows their own love for the creation
> they have built. I know that anytime we are near Sedona, we will be returning
> to this perfect lodging.

> Just got back from our wonderful stay at the BEAUTIFUL El Portal. I cannot
> praise it enough! It was everything we wanted. From spacious, gorgeous and
> super clean (a rarity these days) rooms, to the cozy fire pit that had a fire
> going first thing every morning to enjoy your coffee by, and first thing every
> night to enjoy your s’mores. The lighting in the courtyard just instantly
> draws you in and makes you want to quickly grab a blanket (which they have
> stacks to offer), pull up an Adirondack, get your spot next to the fire and
> chat with the other hotel guests coming and going. There were even people who
> had the GENIUS idea to work remotely at this beautiful inn. If being outside
> isn’t for you, don’t worry! There is a fire burning in the lobby, which really
> feels less like a lobby and more like home. There is fresh coffee made every
> morning and an array of breakfast goodies and snackies that you can help
> yourself to, at no extra charge (another rarity) . They also have small
> refrigerators stocked with various fun local beers, ciders and wine for you to
> try – charge it to my room, please!
> 
> The conversation, the warm cozy feeling, the comfort of knowing you’re not
> being glared at for bringing your family’s most loyal companion (your pup),
> the ease of check in and check out, THE GORGEOUS ROOMS!!!! They even have a
> sweet little basket made up for your pup with treats to make them feel right
> at home.
> 
> The owners, Steve and Connie, really think of all the fine details to make
> your stay extra comfy and special. That’s what stood out to me the most. You
> don’t feel like you’re staying at some generic hotel. El Portal feels like
> you’re staying with a friend; couldn’t be more comfortable. I am definitely
> making my way back out to this diamond in the rough!

> The most incredible wedding weekend
> El Portal is one of the most precious gems you can find in terms of lodging in
> Sedona. Tucked into the serene and rustic Talaquepaque village in lush gardens
> and beautiful stonework, you feel as if you are stepping into a dream. The
> decor has been hand crafted and selected by the owners to give you a unique
> southwestern Arts and Crafts experience. My now husband and I stayed in the
> honeymoon suite for our wedding weekend and were amazing by the comfortable
> bed, and incredible double head and steam shower and beautiful views out of
> the window. The atmosphere of the hotel at large is quiet and peaceful, with
> an added bonus of being pet friendly. Staff was very accommodating and Steve
> and Connie went out of their way to ensure everyone had a wonderful experience
> for the hotel. Will always recommend staying here.

FiveSight, Trip Advisor Review

> El Portal is a Unique living experience in that the building itself (Adobe

> So much is lovely about this place you just have to go and check it out
