The lower-middle-range Sedona Ridge is just off Highway 179 in the Village of Oak Creek, with 118 rooms housed in 23 tan stucco buildings on a sprawling property. The red rocks are far from the Ridge, so views of them are limited, but good views exist of the surrounding desert landscape, especially from the two heated pools. Rooms have kitchenettes, but many guests will have to drive from the lobby to reach them. Guests wanting better views at a similar price point should consider the Bell Rock Inn.

Tucked away from the heart of Sedona, El Portal Sedona Hotel is an upscale hacienda-style property brimming with grandeur and boutique charm. It features 12 one-of-a-kind suites with log-beam ceilings, flagstone-tiled floors, fireplaces, and Southwestern antique decor, which results in grand yet cozy interiors.

Travelers wanting more resort-style features, such as a spa, multiple restaurants, and tennis courts, consider Enchantment Resort.

The upper-middle-range Hyatt Club Residence Club Sedona, Pinon Pointe is a condo-style hotel known for its pueblo design and breathtaking red rock views. It's located in the heart of Uptown Sedona and adjacent to Pinon Pointe shopping center, which offers boutiques, restaurants, live music, and a Starbucks. Decorated in a Southwestern style, the 109 studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments come with living areas, fully stocked kitchens, and private patios -- some with wonderful views. Larger units have stone fireplaces and jetted tubs. The beautiful two-tier heated pool with hot tubs and a fire pit is a highlight here, plus there are a kids' club, tennis courts, a game room, and a fitness center. Timeshare pitches can be annoying, though. As an alternative with a spa and bolder contemporary design, consider the Kimpton Amara Resort & Spa.

This quirky, bed and breakfast-style hotel has 16 villas, all artistically designed around a certain theme, including the Wagon Wheel villa with a functioning water wheel on the entry door and covered wagon-style bed. Unique amenities include a bread maker with a fresh loaf upon arrival, filling the rooms with the scent of fresh-baked bread. New Orleans native Michael Merilli, prepares a five-course breakfast every morning and can also be called upon as a personal chef. Such services don’t come cheap, and the themed rooms may not be every traveler’s cup of tea, but you’d be hard pressed to find something quite so creative.
