Tucked into the majestic red rock formations of Sedona, Ambiente: A Landscape Hotel is an adults-only retreat designed for those seeking privacy, serenity, and immersion in the high desert’s natural beauty. Recognized as Arizona’s only Two Key MICHELIN hotel and the first official landscape hotel in North America, Ambiente redefines luxury lodging with a bold architectural vision and a deep connection to its surroundings.
The property features 40 glass-encased atriums, each raised on stilts to hover above the terrain. Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling bronze-tinted glass, these cube-shaped accommodations offer 180-degree views of the red rock scenery. With nightly rates starting at $999, travelers have a rare opportunity to enjoy Ambiente at a seasonal value lower than the peak season pricing.
“Summer reveals a quieter, more intimate side of Sedona,” Co-owner Jennifer May said. “With fewer crowds and a slower pace, it’s the perfect season to experience the serenity of the high desert.”
This season brings the debut of Sip, Savor & Soar Above It All: A Rooftop Rendezvous, an exclusive dining experience offered from June 1 through September 30. Guests can enjoy a private, open-air dinner atop their suite, where a three-course, chef-curated menu is paired with a bottle of champagne or a curated selection of wines. Surrounded by desert sky and dramatic cliffs, the experience is both indulgent and unforgettable.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, Ambiente provides direct access to the Adobe Jack Trailhead, allowing guests to step from their suites onto some of Sedona’s most picturesque hiking routes. In addition to self-guided exploration, the hotel offers a series of custom excursions available only to Ambiente guests. These include a 2.5-hour Jeep tour through Soldier Pass, with stops at natural landmarks such as the Seven Sacred Pools and the Devil’s Kitchen sinkhole.
For a more expansive view, the Adventure Seeker package combines a rugged Jeep journey with a helicopter flight over Sedona’s red rock expanse. Guests looking for a more tranquil experience can opt for a guided horseback ride through the desert, followed by wine tasting at one of the region’s nearby vineyards.
“From arrival to departure, our guests are immersed in the majesty of the landscape and the thoughtful luxury that defines Ambiente,” May said. “Whether hiking just steps from their atrium or savoring a sunset from a private rooftop, travelers will uncover an unrivaled connection to nature and outdoor adventure.”
Guests can unwind at Velvet Spa, an award-winning, three-room wellness sanctuary. Rooted in sustainability and modern technique, the spa’s treatments restore both body and mind. This summer, Velvet Spa introduces a series of immersive sound healing experiences using Himalayan singing bowls.
The Harmonic Alignment offers a 60-minute solo session with five singing bowls to harmonize energy. The Vibrational Journey combines massage and sound therapy, starting with a full-body massage and followed by 30 minutes of sound healing. For a shorter session, the Sound & Body Synergy provides a 30-minute sound immersion that can be added to any massage or body treatment.
With every detail designed to inspire, relax, and connect, Ambiente offers guests the chance to rediscover the high desert through a lens of luxury. This secluded Sedona escape invites travelers to embrace the stillness and splendor of summer. To learn more, visit AmbienteSedona.com.
