Elite Traveler: “Road Trip in Arizona”
Elite Traveler highlights L’Auberge de Sedona as “a romantic spot on the banks of Oak Creek” – the place to stay when visiting Sedona on a road trip through Arizona. Arriving in a Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible with the top down, of course.
“Arizona’s bounty of rust-colored canyons and saguaro-laden vistas easily enchant, but it’s the unexpected that excites. Home to 22 sovereign American Indian communities, alpine forests and a robust collection of artists’ colonies, the Grand Canyon State proffers an abundance of eclectic exploration possibilities.
While pecans and citrus fruits flourish in the heat, it’s best to avoid the jaw-droppingly hot summers and instead opt for the shoulder seasons. (The delectable prickly pear margaritas, one of the state’s beloved delicacies, are available year-round.) It’s possible to find both chilly mornings and temperate afternoons thanks to the astounding variations in elevation — from some 12,600 ft at the summit of Humphreys Peak to 70 ft above sea level on the Colorado River — throughout the state.
The ideal vehicle for this Arizona journey is the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible; drop the top and prepare for an unhurried adventure beginning in the northernmost part of the state at Lake Powell.
…Continue south a few hours and arrive mid-morning at L’Auberge de Sedona (lauberge.com), situated on the banks of Oak Creek. Reserve a creekside suite cottage with an outdoor cedar shower and private terrace nestled under a canopy of sycamore trees.
L’Auberge de Sedona is set in a romantic spot on the banks of Oak Creek.”
