Warmest Regards,

“We spent a week here – Sunday to Saturday – and did all the hiking, touring, shopping, photographing and eating we could. El Portal was a great base for it all.
Steve and the staff were always helpful and pleasant. Breakfasts here are just right.
This is the right place to stay in Sedona! Eric and Elaine, CA”

“Hi there!
We are here in Michigan and our backs are killing us! We have realized that we simply must purchase a new mattress! Our sleep in the Green Room resulted in such a wonderful pain free back. We were wondering if you could share with us the name and style of that wonderful mattress we slept on in the Green Room.
We could just move into the Green Room at El Portal and live a pain free life but we have jobs so sharing the bed info would be more realistic!
We so enjoyed our stay at your magical Inn and can’t wait to come back! Until then, we are going to create our own Green Room here at home!
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Su and Bob”

There’s no doubt that Arizona summers are hot. Those who plan summer escapes to the inspiring red rock setting of Sedona will certainly enjoy cooler temperatures, and visitors with a “green” mindset will appreciate the environmentally-friendly attributes of El Portal Sedona. The construction and design of the twelve room boutique  hotel lends itself to energy efficiency and provides a cool, natural retreat from summer heat.
Visitors’ first look at El Portal reveals an adobe and natural stone structure, shaded by trees and climbing vines, built on the site of an old apple orchard. El Portal was designed in turn of the century Southwestern style and built with painstaking attention to detail, exactly as it would have been built over 100 years ago. The 18-inch thick handmade adobe walls provide a natural insulation for the structure. According to owner, Steve Segner, the hotel is so well insulated that if the air conditioning is turned off, the temperature within the building will only vary by one degree throughout the entire day. Segner has also shaded the hotel with large awnings to keep the temperatures cool while using less energy.
The hotel was built with attention to the conservation of natural resources, featuring 200 year old recycled wood beams and trim, and natural native stone. Even the décor of the guest suites and living areas uses “recycled” furniture, in the form of museum quality Arts and Crafts furnishings. Each luxury suite features a different period design, with details such as hand-painted stencil designs, stained glass, rich tile detailing and views from beautifully arched windows. Natural wood, stone and tile flooring reinforce the subtle connection with nature, and keep rooms cool in summer. Suites were designed in accordance with the simplicity and function of turn of the century architecture, yet feature free high speed wireless internet access, entertainment centers, Jacuzzi tubs and other modern amenities.
Outside of the suites, guests can enjoy spectacular red rock views from a private garden or sitting terrace. There is also a shaded, beautifully landscaped flagstone and grass center courtyard with a fountain where guests can relax and take in the beauty of the unique Sedona environment. Overall, the property was thoughtfully designed to blend in with the natural surroundings, forming a truly spiritual connection to nature. The gardens on the property continue the connection, and are open to the public.
Much of what attracts visitors to Sedona is the opportunity to experience spectacular natural surroundings. For those green-minded guests who wish to further explore a connection to nature, Segner and his staff are area outdoors experts, and can make hiking and sightseeing recommendations, as well as arrangements for excursions from nearby Oak Creek Canyon to the Grand Canyon.

Steve Segner, owner of El Portal, is an avid hiker and outdoorsman, and is well versed in what might be an overwhelming choice of trails available to visitors. He can point guest in the right direction, whether it’s a gentle sunrise stroll through red rock vistas, or an adrenaline-pumping rock scaling adventure.
The canyons and mountains around Sedona have more maintained trails than anywhere else in Arizona. There are three hiking regions: Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness, Munds Mountain Wilderness, and the area surrounding the town itself. You can hike trails that are less than one mile (one way), or take on longer ones close to ten miles (one way). Take into consideration changes in elevation when choosing your hike, some trails are as low as 200 ft., and some are as high as 2400 ft. gained in elevation. Ask Steve, he can show you where the trailheads are, length of the trail and more.
