he true spirit of Sedona is timeless. It connects generations past to those that follow. It does so in harmony with nature. From the breathtaking mountains, sky and earth to the serenity and intimate peacefulness they offer... from the historic haciendas and hospitality of eras gone by, to the warm, often unspoken, calm of the present... this spirit of Sedona... this spirit of timelessness and natural wonders which surround and fill us with a feeling of oneness... This spirit is the essence of Sedona Arizona’s Luxury Hotel, the El Portal Inn.

Sedona Architecture
Going beyond the ordinary, the architecture and adobe construction of El Portal is completely authentic. Nowhere else in Sedona will you find a luxury inn or hotel with 18-inch thick adobe walls— walls that provide both quiet and history. It's truly an architectural masterpiece.
Painstakingly, the finest builders of today have created this extraordinarily beautiful hacienda with a traditional center courtyard and fountain. And they have done it accurately, just as it was done centuries ago.

All work was performed by hand and eye, as in the original manner. As a result, the subtle, inviting sense of culture forms a wonderful link to the spirit of the past. Just as carefully, building materials were taken from nature wherever possible. This, too, forms a spiritual connection, a blending, if you will, with the earth. Watch magnificent sunrises through some of our windows framed in recycled 200-year-old wood. Experience the calm and peace that hand-sculptured walls and niches subtly offer as well as the free feeling of space under high ceilings and archways. As with the architecture and construction, the interior design of each room is uniquely historical. Twelve spacious rooms have been created in accordance with the simplicity and function of turn-of-the-century architecture.

All rooms feature free broadband cable high speed internet as well as free wireless access throughout the hotel, including the courtyard.
