Selected entries from the current guide for Sedona.
Sedona, United States
Set along the banks of Oak Creek within L'Auberge de Sedona, Cress on Oak Creek serves French-inflected American Southwest cuisine at linen-set outdoor tables where the creek runs audibly beneath Sedona's red rock formations. A five-course prix fixe anchors dinner service, supported by a wine list of 325 selections spanning California, France, and Arizona. Reservations are required for dinner and strongly advised at all other times.
Sedona, United States
Che Ah Chi sits inside Boynton Canyon, one of Sedona's most geologically dramatic corridors, and carries a Star Wine List White Star recognition that places its cellar program in a different tier from the town's standard resort dining. The address at 525 Boynton Canyon Road anchors it firmly within the canyon's red-rock terrain, where the setting shapes the experience as much as what arrives at the table.
Sedona, United States
Dahl & DiLuca is a long-running Italian restaurant in Sedona, Arizona, positioned on Highway 89A in the heart of the tourist corridor. The kitchen draws on traditional Italian-American cooking in a town better known for red-rock scenery than European cuisine, making it a distinct outlier in Sedona's dining mix. Reservations are advised, particularly during peak spring and fall visitation seasons.
Sedona, United States
Rene At Tlaquepaque sits within Sedona's beloved arts village on AZ-179, where the dining ritual unfolds against the backdrop of Spanish Colonial architecture and red-rock terrain. The restaurant occupies a position in Sedona's mid-to-upper dining tier, drawing visitors who pair gallery browsing with a measured, sit-down meal. It remains one of the more consistently referenced addresses in the Tlaquepaque complex.
Sedona, United States
ChocolaTree Organic Oasis operates in a corner of Sedona's dining scene that most visitors walk past on their way to a steakhouse — plant-based, organic, and sourced with a specificity that places it in a different category from the typical health-casual café. Located along Highway 89A, it draws a regular local following alongside travelers seeking something outside the Southwest's dominant meat-and-chile tradition.
Sedona, United States
El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano brings Mexican cooking to the red rock corridor of Sedona, Arizona, at 336 AZ-179. In a dining scene that skews toward American Southwest and Italian, the restaurant occupies a distinct niche as a dedicated Mexican option. Visitors and locals looking for an alternative to the canyon-view fine dining circuit will find it a grounding presence on the Village of Oak Creek strip.
Sedona, United States
A Sedona cantina trading on the Southwest's desert-to-table tradition, Javelina Cantina sits along AZ-179 where red rock views frame a menu rooted in regional Mexican and Arizona ingredients. The setting does real work here: the landscape outside is as much a part of the experience as what lands on the table. For visitors threading through the Village of Oak Creek, it reads as a reliable stop between Tlaquepaque and the trailheads to the south.
Sedona, United States
Mesa Grill Sedona sits at 1185 Airport Road, positioned at altitude above the red rock formations that define Sedona's character. The restaurant operates within a dining scene that pulls between resort-scale American Southwest cooking and independent local operators. For visitors orienting to Sedona's table, it belongs to the broader Southwest cuisine tradition that draws from indigenous, Mexican, and ranching influences across the Colorado Plateau.
Sedona, United States
ShadowRock Tap + Table sits at 90 Ridge Trail Drive in Sedona's Village of Oak Creek, where red rock terrain shapes the setting as much as the kitchen does. Among Sedona's casual dining options, it occupies the tap-and-table format that sits between resort dining and quick-service stops — a position that suits the area's mix of hikers, day-trippers, and longer-stay visitors looking for something grounded rather than ceremonial.
Sedona, United States
Spoke & Wheel Tavern sits at 160 Portal Lane in Sedona, Arizona, where the red rock country sets an immediate frame for the kind of unpretentious, grounded drinking-and-eating that the tavern format has always done well. In a dining scene dominated by resort dining rooms and destination tasting menus, a tavern occupies a deliberately different register — one where the menu structure signals intent as clearly as any Michelin citation.
Sedona, United States
For visitors moving between the red rock corridors and Sedona's restaurant strip, it represents a distinct departure from the regional default.
Sedona, United States
A cafe tucked into Sedona's AZ-179 corridor, The Secret Garden Cafe sits in a town where the dining scene splits between resort-anchored fine dining and independent, character-driven spots. Check directly for current hours and menu before visiting.

Sedona, United States
Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel is Sedona's first landscape hotel, with 40 freestanding Atrium units set across three desert acres and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the red rock formations of the surrounding national forest. Awarded Michelin 2 Keys (2024) and recognised by La Liste Top Hotels 2026 with 90.5 points, the property also holds Leading Hotels of the World membership. Rates are available on request; the on-site restaurant Forty1 serves Modern American cuisine sourced from the Verde Valley.
Sedona, United States
On the wooded banks of Oak Creek, L'Auberge de Sedona occupies one of Arizona's most distinctive resort settings — where the sound of running water meets panoramic red rock views. With 88 rooms and cottages, a European-style spa, creek-side dining at Cress on Oak Creek, and a La Liste 2026 score of 91.5 points, it sits at the serious end of Sedona's accommodation tier.
Sedona, United States
A 12-room Arts and Crafts property on the edge of Sedona's red rock country, El Portal sits closer to a well-curated guest house than a conventional hotel. At $499 per night, it earned a Michelin 1 Key in 2024, placing it in the company of design-led independents that trade on craftsmanship and personal service rather than scale. Access to the full facilities at adjacent Los Abrigados extends its offer considerably.
Sedona, United States
A Forbes Five-Star, all-inclusive destination spa in Sedona's Boynton Canyon, Mii amo has held a place on Travel + Leisure's Hall of Fame for domestic destination spas since 2001. Rates from $2,037 per night cover accommodations across 23 intimate rooms and suites, meals at the seasonally driven Hummingbird restaurant, and a dedicated wellness Journey program spanning three to ten nights.
Sedona, United States
Set at the base of Boynton Canyon on 70 acres of red rock terrain, Enchantment Resort occupies one of Sedona's most geographically privileged positions. With 218 adobe casitas, direct trail access, the Mii amo destination spa, and a culinary team with James Beard House credentials, it operates closer to the full-immersion wilderness resort model than any competitor in the market.
Sedona, United States
Amara Resort and Spa sits along Sedona's Oak Creek corridor, positioning itself as a mid-scale boutique alternative to the canyon-rim properties that dominate the upper tier of the local market. The property draws visitors who want proximity to the red rock terrain without the full-scale spa immersion formats of Enchantment or Mii amo. Its creek-side setting and contained footprint make it a coherent base for exploring Sedona's trails and town center.
Sedona, United States
Mountain Modern Sedona is one of the few hotels where I felt encouraged to spend as much time off property, as on it. “It can be a place for travelers and locals alike to recharge, connect, and dive into everything that makes Sedona so magical,” Robert Nolan, the hotel’s co-founder, told T+L. Of course, there are still plenty of on-site amenities worth writing home about. Arizona-based firm RSP Architects blends practical design and stylish comfort into the 89 guest rooms; you can count on designated cubbies and hooks to store your Red Rock–dusted gear and luxurious toiletries from Malin+Goetz. Further, The Den, a combination of coffee shop, restaurant, full-service bar, and hangout spot, is the heartbeat of the hotel. The breakfast menu leans into the area’s Southwestern roots with chipotle burritos and greek yogurt bowls topped with Arizona mesquite honey, both of which were well-suited options to fuel me for hours of hiking and off-roading with Pink Jeep Tours. I returned each day just in time for an après-adventure happy hour of local brews and handcrafted cocktails, which are best enjoyed by the firepits lining the outdoor pool deck. My favorite part of the stay was meeting four-legged adventure seekers. Dog beds, water bowls, and toys are available upon request, plus a full-acre private outdoor park welcomes furry guests.

The Wilde Resort & Spa offers sumptuous boutique accommodations in the middle of Arizona’s spectacular Red Rock Country. While the alien landscape, with its pockmarked spires and dusty crimson canyons, might evoke Mars, the hotel’s soft bedding and lovingly appointed spa evoke another type of otherworldly experience. The location means you can just as easily wander around the desert as enjoy a stroll around the city’s main shopping-and-eating drag. The Wilde's design and programming speak to the twenty-first century, but the property still honors its roots. Beds come with lambs’ wool blankets that would be perfectly at home on the range. Fido is welcome, assuming he’s under seventy-five pounds and good with cityfolk. At night, you can count shooting stars from the roof terrace or tell stories of days gone by in front of the communal outdoor fireplace. The on-site restaurant, Rascal, offers huevos rancheros and fresh tortillas for breakfast, even as it serves fish sliders and rosemary chicken breast later in the day. These days, of course, Sedona attracts more crystal-gazers than cowboys. In addition to the usual massages, the spa lets you learn about guided visualization, or experience quantum healing, clairvoyant coaching, and spiritual acupuncture. There’s a course on past life regression too. For constant access to chakras, etc., you can even stay inside the spa, rather than in the hotel proper; the handful of rooms and suites here come with their own super-sized soaking tubs.
