ICONIC LIFE highlighted L’Auberge de Sedona as a Place to Stay in their round-up of Things to Do when visiting Sedona for those who seek the majesty of the Red Rocks.
“WHERE TO STAY
In Sedona, the best accommodations are at one of these boutique resorts where the views, dining and service are of equal importance to ensuring your stay is exactly what you envisioned—whether lounging creek-side, pampering at the spa or a savoring a decadent chef-inspired meal.
Stay at one of the creek-side cottages with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor cedar shower and private terrace with only the sound of the running waters to lull you to sleep.
CREEKSIDE OASIS
A luxurious stay is always found at L’Auberge de Sedona, a resort nestled along Oak Creek. Desert dwellers relish the tree-lined brook that provides shade on warm afternoons while lounging on the bank listening to the calm of the stream. L’Auberge is truly a hideaway right below the heart of this bustling town where guests can unplug and unwind while embracing the serenity of their surroundings.
If you’re craving an indulgent meal, then the seven-course tasting menu at Cress on Oak Creek will delight your senses while dining creek-side. The journey of inspired dishes you will savor include pan-seared branzino with smoked trout roe and saffron espuma, and a warm chocolate souffle with smoked chocolate cremeux and caramel whiskey gelato. Executive Chef Franck Desplechin and Executive Pastry Chef Morgan Gurney elevate their Southern European cuisine to that of a truly decadent experience.
Stay at one of the creek-side cottages with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor cedar shower and private terrace with only the sound of the running waters to lull you to sleep. The well-appointed cottage welcomes each guest into what feels like a tranquil oasis where comfort only comes second to the view. If pampering is on the agenda, then the L’Aromatherapy Essential Massage is a must. You’ll start at the L’Apothecary Blending Bar, where you mix your own treatment massage oil with herbs and botanicals to create your own scent profile oil for use during your relaxation massage.”
