If you’ve been to Sedona, Arizona you’ll know that the best place to stay will depend on what exactly you’re trying to do while visiting. Normally one has to choose between staying at a hotel that is near the best hikes or staying at a hotel near the restaurants and shops…but I’m here to tell you that if you want the best of both worlds, you need to check out the Arabella Hotel! The dining options at the hotel are great, it’s minutes away from restaurants and shops, and they have a private trail head to Marg’s Draw Trail.
Check out my full review and let me know if you are convinced to book a room here next time you’re in Sedona!
Let’s break down all that you get with a stay here and the best ways to maximize your stay.
Rooms
I loved the rooms at The Arabella, they are spacious and there’s a Southwestern flair.
Each room also comes with a hanging chair which is great for reading or just relaxing. We stayed on the second floor which gave us a great view but honestly any room will give you a great view.
Dining Options
The complimentary breakfast is everything you need to make sure you have enough energy to go on a hike or to relax at the pool. They have several kinds of muffins, fruit, oatmeal, toast, eggs, bacon, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, tea and of course coffee.
The dining area is really nice as well, you can eat indoors or enjoy the beautiful weather outside!
If you’d like something else for breakfast (or lunch and dinner) and you don’t want to leave the hotel, then I highly recommend you check out Mole.
Mole is the restaurant on site and if you are a fan of elevated Mexican food, then Mole will be a favorite.
The mole con pollo asado enchiladas were my personal favorite. You can tell that the mole and the tortillas are homemade because the flavor just comes through. Check out my full review here.
Private hiking trail
If you’ve ever gone hiking in a very popular place, you’ll understand the frustration that comes with having to wake up early and find parking. My absolute favorite perk of staying at The Arabella Hotel is their private hiking trail that leads to Marg’s Draw Trail. Within minutes, you can start your hike!
Marg’s Draw Trail does connect to other hikes so you can do a short, easy hike or challenge yourself and go on a longer path.
Sunset Vista
The Arabella Hotel has a beautiful sunset vista where you can see the best views of Sedona. There’s a bench up there so that you can enjoy the view and relax.
The lighting is also really great up there for selfies!
Location
The location of The Arabella Hotel is another perk. It is minutes away from restaurants, shops and many popular hikes.

Website
The Arabella Hotel has the best website I’ve ever seen for a hotel because not only is there a ton of info, they also have a video gallery!
