When it comes to outdoor activities, I love hiking, walking and biking, but something about Mountain Modern Sedona had me saying yes to new open-air adventures, like kayaking the Verde River to Alcantara Vineyards (and I didn’t tip over). From its adventure-inspired décor to in-room gear space (for skis, snowboards and trekking poles), this Sedona hotel makes the perfect basecamp near the region’s best outdoor — and indoor — destinations.

Mountain Modern Sedona musts

• Book a balcony room with a fireplace — the views are stunning and you’ll love greeting the mornings with a cup of room-brewed coffee.
• Ask the staff to recommend an outdoor adventure. They know the best local spots to explore.
• Grab dinner and a cocktail or mocktail at The Den. It’s the ideal way to end a day of activity.

Easy access to Sedona’s best

Marketing itself as a “basecamp,” Mountain Modern Sedona truly puts visitors at the center of everything, a comfortable setting to relax with family, friends and, best of all, furry companions.

Located in West Sedona at 95 Arroyo Pinon Drive, the hotel provides convenient access to top dining, shopping, arts and culture, entertainment, hiking and adventure destinations:

• Uptown Sedona (10 minutes)
• Tlaquepaque (10 minutes)
• Oak Creek Canyon (15 minutes)
• Bell Rock Trailhead (20 minutes)
• Alcantara Vineyards (28 minutes)

Adventure-inspired design with modern mountain flair

A likable trait of Mountain Modern Sedona is its adventuresome spirit. From the lobby and restaurant (The Den) to the guest rooms and pet-friendly accommodations, the hotel’s design inspires exploration.

Walls display maps of Sedona with markers for vortexes and state parks, guest rooms include storage for seasonal gear, and wall art depicts rock formations and mesquite trees.

Cozy rooms with an adventurous soul

The beds are like clouds, perfect for sinking into after a day of hiking, biking, kayaking or winter sports. Add the warm glow of your room’s fireplace and you’ll be lulled to sleep in no time.

Several rooms feature balconies or patios with Red Rock views, while others are tailored for pets (sans carpet). Choose from king or two-queen bedrooms, studios and suites. Each offers a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker, and some even feature a Sedona-themed wall-mounted word search.

The Den: Where mornings begin and evenings linger

Just off the lobby, guests can fuel up with breakfast options like croissant sandwiches, breakfast burritos, waffles or bowls, and made-to-order beverages such as lattes, cappuccinos, matcha and hot chocolate.

In the evening, enjoy the Verde Crisp, a crispy chipotle tortilla topped with melted cheddar and house-made guacamole, served with salsa and sour cream, or the T.B.A: turkey, bacon, avocado, fire-roasted red peppers, red onion, pepper jack and chipotle ranch on toast.

The Den becomes a lively place to unwind with dinner, cocktails or mocktails, and live guitar performances on select nights.

Unwind with onsite amenities

In addition to its cozy rooms and inviting restaurant, the property features an outdoor pool and hot tub, fire pit, fitness center and bicycle service.

Explore the neighborhood

Mountain Modern Sedona’s staff is friendly and knowledgeable about nearby attractions, dining and pet-friendly spots to visit. You’ll find several restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Across the street, Basecamp – Sedona Beer Company — a BOSW favorite — offers an impressive beer lineup. Their gluten-free Crispy Polenta Cakes with grilled broccolini, basil gremolata and toasted pine nuts are divine, and the GF Crispy Chicken Wings (buffalo, tikka masala or beer-B-Q) are crisped to perfection. The outdoor patio is an ideal gathering spot when the weather cooperates.

Plan your Red Rock itinerary

Pair your stay with an early-morning hike at Bell Rock, a stop at Tlaquepaque for local art, or a glass of wine at Alcantara Vineyards. Then head back to Mountain Modern for a nightcap by the fire, proof that this basecamp really can make anyone fall for the great outdoors.
