Those seeking a relaxing, comfortable holiday will find it at the Rouge, which has a great spa, clean rooms, and accommodating staff. The property has good views of the red rocks, but it’s not guaranteed that you’ll have a view from your room. After a day at the Grand Canyon, come back to relax in the hot tub while kids swim in the pool, then enjoy the rest of the evening around a cozy fire pit. Make time to visit the spa as well–the staff are experienced, the treatments are effective, and overall it’s really the thing that sets the Sedona Rouge apart from other area hotels.

When you get hungry, head down to REDS Restaurant, which describes their fare as “comfort food in gourmet fashion.” They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and are happy to accommodate children. For children under 12 (limit of two per room), breakfast is complimentary, and if you visit REDS Bar from 4 p.m. to 6, you can enjoy a complimentary small plate.
