Old Town Cottonwood is Sedona's laid-back, wine-country neighbor. Think independent wine tasting rooms, local restaurants, and a walkable main street with a small-town feel. This historic boutique hotel sits right in the middle of it all — a 1925 building reimagined with chic, contemporary comfort. It is the kind of place where you stroll out the front door and straight into a glass of local red. Less touristy than Sedona, more relaxed pace, and genuinely charming.

Uptown Sedona is the heart of the action — galleries, restaurants, shops, and those jaw-dropping red rock views literally everywhere you look. The Matterhorn Inn sits on a hillside right in the middle of it all, and every room comes with a private balcony or patio overlooking the red rock pinnacles. If waking up to the sound of Oak Creek Canyon with a coffee in hand on your own private balcony sounds like your kind of morning, this is your place. More of a classic Sedona experience, and the scenery does not disappoint.
