L'Auberge De Sedona

I visited Sedona for the first time this Monday. I was originally booked at the Amara with a friend, and while the check-in process was lovely, the room just didn't quite align with my personal taste. Knowing I might need a change of scenery, I walked next door to L’Auberge de Sedona, a property I had previously researched. The moment I stepped onto the grounds, the atmosphere shifted. The cozy cottages and upscale ambiance felt immediately more comfortable. At the front desk, I was met by Celene, who handled my unique situation with incredible grace. Although a room tour wasn't available at that moment, she kindly offered me a pool key so I could experience the property's amenities first-hand. That "feeling" made all the difference. I decided then and there to reserve a room, even though it meant walking away from (and forfeiting my money paid for Amara) the reservation next door. It turned out to be the best decision of the trip. As someone who frequents the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, I have very specific standards for a getaway: Tranquility (especially at the pool) Ease of access Exemplary service I look for staff who truly anticipate a guest's needs, and I found that exact level of care here. Celene and Milena at the front desk were instrumental in making this trip a success. Even though L’Auberge is three times the distance of my usual "staple" hotel, the quality of rest and recovery I experienced made the journey completely worth it. I will absolutely be back.

I stayed at the Cliffs and it was NOT worth the $1500+ two night stay. It was like a remodeled motel and secluded from the main area - even the parking was separated. I asked for a quiet peaceful room due to being a fire victim in LA but got a bottom floor with people I heard above me all night. It was supposed to be my splurge solo vacation and it couldn’t have been more disappointing.

As others have mentioned, this property sits on a beautiful landscape and well maintained. The rooms are great (we stayed in the cottage) and the amenities, touches and overall status are great. We truly enjoy the serene environment and took advantage of the sessions offered by the hotel (meditation and sound healing). The pool (Duck Pond) was truly a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view and sip on your drink. The hotel and rooms and common areas (including the greek-side restaurant) is well-maintained, clean and all have the luxury touches you'd expect from a property like this. The only minor complaint I have is regarding the busy lines at the front desk, bar, and almost every where else. You'd have to wait (sometimes for more than a few minutes) to order, get server attention, find the front desk person etc. Staff is amazing, helpful and friendly. No self-parking on site, so valet is the only option for around $35 / night.

Came for a solo trip and would have extended if I could. The staff was amazing. Particularly Shyanne from the breakfast crew. She was so funny and sweet. The front desk was always so nice and the maids were on point. Never disappointed me! Thanks be back soon!!!

The property is beautiful and we stayed at the Cliffs which had amazing views. Spa was great as was pool, and restaurant on the creek was special.

Overpriced and no luxury service. would not return. Property is cute, but don't expect any hospitality or timely service during your stay. Everyone "is just too busy" to help you when you stay there for $1200/night.

The setting is awe inspiring. The grounds are spectacular and the views are unprecedented. We would highly reccomend to frineds.

I’ll start by saying that the property itself is stunning and the views from the duck pool spectacular. A huge shoutout to Mr Hugo and Mr Q as they were very genuine, sweet and helpful. That being said, I just couldn’t love it. They mentioned they would text us when the room was ready, but the text never came. After 4 pm we went to check in and they gave us the room. The view from the cliffs (new rooms) is stunning but the noise from the tour trucks in the back and the long walk down to amenities was difficult. Our VIP welcome amenity and note from travel agent was never placed on the room. The room was new and nice, but missing obvious things like hooks to place your towels or toilet tree bags in the bathrooms. It was a nice room but did not feel 5 stars. The hotel has questionable charging practices. At breakfast they charged $10 for splitting an omelet without disclosing upfront there was a splitting charge. On the second day we were charged for items that were purchased from a different side of the property already just because they were at the table. The hotel charged us $75 per day!! for a rollaway bed that was neither requested nor was in our room. Even though i called them back after checkout to request this be removed and an updated bill provided via email, my credit card still shows the before removal of the fee cost so I will need to call them again to request this looked at. When I called them the lady on the phone also made me feel like I was a bother and not apologetic at all that this had been incorrectly added to our bill. The hotel offers different activities that are included in the resort fee, however after adding the room fee, parking fee, assessment fee, state fee, parking tax fee etc it ended up being over $200 per day of fees on top of the cost originally booked that said it included all taxes. I understand that resorts have fees but I don’t expect that to be over $600 for a 3 day stay. Overall I wish I would have stayed at Ambiente…. All the checkout process, weird charges and the fact that they still owe me money has left a sour taste on an otherwise lovely property

A topnotch experience. Everyone we met (from the Front Desk to Valet to Restaurant Staff--to Bartender at Duck Pond) was wonderful. The property is beautiful, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. Our spa cottage was lovely, quiet, immaculate, spacious, and relaxing. Special shout out to Liz, Celene, and Rachel Smart at the Front Desk. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. Mia, at the concierge desk, helped us set up two Sedona Jeep Tours-Stargazing & Mystic Earth. Both were a treat and a great way to explore Sedona for the first time!
