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.
