Make El Portal Your Home for the Holidays

There is so much up in the air this holiday season travel – don’t travel, drive, fly, bring the dogs – don’t bring the dogs, visit family – don’t visit family, and of course the “you-know-what”. So, this year why not make El Portal your home for the holidays?
Here in Sedona, there are so many ways to create holiday memories. Experience Tlaquepaque’s festivities, many are outside or virtual! You might want to do the Sedona Walk through Time (also known as Sedona History Walk). It is a free, self-guided tour that highlights the people, places, and events that shaped the area’s vibrant history. For something a little more rigorous there’s always a good old fashion hike. Get into nature, breath the fresh air, and see the vibrant vistas. The area’s strikingly beautiful landscape is etched with trails of varying difficulty that allows you to experience the red rock vistas and magnetic sense of peace with your family and pets!
El Portal Sedona Hotel is family friendly and pet friendly, with no fees for pets. We are a small 12 room hotel, in the best location (close to shops, restaurants, and more), with a HUGE courtyard. El Portal has received the coveted AAA Four Diamond Hotel award, and AAA Inspectors Best of Housekeeping 2020 award and recognized as a 2020 Travelers’ Choice Award Winner from Tripadvisor.
