Private cottages on the creek’s banks are the resort’s crowning glory, outfitted with wood-burning fireplaces; lodge rooms are smaller, though still spacious, and come with private balconies or patios.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The grounds remain sheltered below Uptown Sedona, with shuttles ready to whisk guests to the courtyards and galleries of Tlaquepaque.
The rooms
Standalone cottages feature wood-burning fireplaces, private decks, and outdoor cedar showers that let you bathe beneath open desert skies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor water fills the cliffside pool, opening onto panoramic views of Sedona's red rock buttes.
The spa
Canopied cabanas sit directly along Oak Creek, where open-air massage treatments take place beneath shaded sycamores.
The gym and deck
A 24-hour fitness room offers cardio equipment under wood-beamed ceilings alongside a separate sun deck facing the red rocks.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Cress on Oak Creek
White-linen tables line the running water of Oak Creek for seasonal fine dining beneath the canyon trees.
The calming vibe of the luxury retreat is enhanced by the sound of water trickling over rock as the free-flowing Oak Creek courses through the 11-acre property.
At the table
Cress Bar and the fireside lounge pour craft cocktails out on sheltered wooden decks beneath illuminated trees.
How it began
First opened in 1984 with just a handful of cottages, the retreat introduced French country inn warmth to Red Rock Country.
“It’s high refinement here, yes, but also soothing tranquility with an air of whimsy, driven by L'Auberge's longstanding dedication to showcasing art in all forms.”
