Sedona sits among red sandstone formations in Arizona’s Verde Valley. Stay in Uptown for restaurants and tour departures. West Sedona is closer to the Dry Creek trailheads, and the Village of Oak Creek is near Bell Rock.
State Route 89A runs through Uptown and West Sedona. Uptown is the simplest place to walk between galleries, cafés and tour meeting points, but a room on the main road can hear traffic. West Sedona has more everyday shops and a shorter drive toward Dry Creek Road and Devil’s Bridge.
South of the center, the Village of Oak Creek lies along scenic State Route 179 near Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. The Chapel of the Holy Cross and Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village sit between this corridor and Uptown. A hotel here is better placed for southern trailheads than for an evening walk in Uptown.
Oak Creek Canyon follows the twisting stretch of 89A north toward Flagstaff. Its creekside stops and Slide Rock State Park are a different day out from the red-rock trails. Trailhead parking fills up. On operating days the Sedona Shuttle runs to some of the busiest trailheads, so check the current schedule before you go.
Sedona is spread across several areas, and many trailheads are too far to walk to from a hotel. Spring and fall are easier for exposed hikes. Summer afternoons are hot, and the July and August monsoon brings more rain. Carry water and check the current Forest Service parking-pass rules for your trail.
This short stretch of shops and restaurants near the 89A and 179 junction is the easiest place to walk to galleries and tour departures. Ask whether your room faces the busy road. Cathedral Rock and Dry Creek are still a drive.
Around here: Sedona Visitor Center, State Route 89A, Uptown galleries
West Sedona follows 89A past grocery shops and local restaurants. Dry Creek Road branches off toward Devil’s Bridge, Boynton Canyon and other western trailheads. Stay here if you are hiking and have a car. Uptown evenings mean a drive or the shuttle.

South of the central Sedona junction, this separate community sits near Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte on scenic Route 179. Pick it for the southern trails and quieter evenings. Uptown restaurants are a drive away.
Around here: Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, State Route 179
Between Uptown and the Village of Oak Creek, the Route 179 corridor is a short drive from Tlaquepaque’s galleries and the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Traffic and hotel access depend on the exact turnoff, so check the map before booking.
Around here: Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, Chapel of the Holy Cross, State Route 179
North of Uptown, 89A winds through a forested canyon toward Slide Rock State Park. Canyon lodgings put you by the creek and the forest, farther from Uptown restaurants. The road is winding, and you need a car to get around.
Around here: Oak Creek, Slide Rock State Park, State Route 89A
March through May and October bring milder conditions for exposed red-rock trails. June is dry but hot. July and August are the warmest and have more rainy days. Winter mornings can be near freezing, but clear afternoons are fine for shorter walks.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is the main major airport for Sedona. From there, drive north on I-17, then take Route 179 through the Village of Oak Creek, or 260 and 89A for West Sedona. Flagstaff Pulliam is closer but has fewer flights.
119 mi from downtown
Rent a car for trailheads and the spread-out districts, or check an airport shuttle to Sedona. The drive follows I-17 and then a scenic state route.
26 mi from downtown
Rent a car or book a transfer. The way in is the winding Route 89A through Oak Creek Canyon.
Weather and trail access can move a hike. July and August bring more rain days than June, so check conditions before you lock in long hikes.
No. The rules come with each booking site and room rate. Look up the cancellation cutoff and payment timing before you reserve.
Uptown, where dining and galleries are close together. West Sedona also works: it has its own shops and restaurants along 89A and a shorter drive to Dry Creek.
