Living above the ground: Ambiente Sedona opened in February 2023 as a landscape hotel. Forty freestanding glass atriums stand on stilts above the site, each one a suite with a 180-degree view of the red rocks. On your private rooftop deck, a daybed and a fire pit wait for evenings under the open sky.
A family as hosts: Sedona local Michael Stevenson bought the land beside the Coconino National Forest in 2016 and developed the hotel with his daughters, who now run it with him. An ancient waterway on the property was restored and flows between the atriums as a chemical-free natural water feature.
Enchantment ResortAt home in the canyon: Enchantment Resort spreads across about 70 acres at the foot of Boynton Canyon, framed by red rock walls. Mark Candelaria designed the adobe casitas with his mentor George W. Christensen, and their decks and fireplaces face the canyon.

Velvet Spa: At Ambiente Sedona, the treatment rooms sit on the lower level of the lobby building. The menu includes massages with warm salt stones, a wrap with Sedona clay, sound journeys and Reiki, and before your treatment you blend a personal scent from six options.
