El Portal Sedona Hotel Voted as the Best Pet Friendly Hotel by
10Best.com and USA TODAY (2013)
Welcome to dog-friendly Sedona! El Portal Sedona Hotel is a gorgeous pet-friendly Sedona hotel where there are no pet fees! We love pets, but our human guests come first. We are a hotel first and foremost, and our guests come first. Pets must NOT be left in rooms unattended for any reason, even if you have done so in the past. On this page, there is the contact information for pet sitters and day boarding. Guests must care for their pets and clean up after them as well. All pets must be good citizens. (We do not board or watch pets during the day or night if you need a pet sitter let us know we have several we can recommend, see below.)
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS UNATTENDED
El Portal is Sedona’s original pet friendly hotel. Steve and Connie, by way of their lifetime involvement in the Pet Food and Care Industry, are committed to making a memorable inn experience for both you and your pet. To the Segners there was no question that an upscale, luxury inn could provide style, the best amenities, and personalized concierge services for guests and their pets. The hotel was built with wood and tile flooring throughout to accommodate canine visitors and has fencing to create over 1,000 square feet of dog friendly patio areas. There are no pet fees and pets receive a “Welcome Basket” with a blanket, doggie bags and treats! Just outside the enclave is Oak Creek, perfect for walking dogs.
We have hotel suites ready for you and your pet. Room 1 is designated for smaller pets, while rooms 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are fine for all size pets. Rooms 3, 4, 5, and 7 have fenced pet patios. We allow all-sized pets in most rooms, but for 10, 11, and 12 we recommend small dogs. Pets must be well-behaved, and on a leash at all times. Pets must not be left in rooms unattended without checking with a staff member, and must never be left in rooms unattended after 7:00 pm.
El Portal is proud to be a pet-friendly hotel in Sedona, and we welcome you and your pet to our luxury Oak Creek Canyon hotel! Here is a letter from our hotel dogs, Dexter & Oliver, welcoming your pets… Welcome to El Portal Sedona Hotel – Pets Rule Rules!
Remember there are never any pet fees at El Portal Sedona Hotel!
“We loved it!”
“The purpose of our trip was for our two senior labs to experience travel. They were treated like royalty! We were given extra thick blankets for them to lie on as well as treats, clean-up bags, etc. Our room (called The Flat Rock Hickory) had a patio with a fenced garden which gave the dogs freedom to roam. Our room was beautiful and spotless..and I mean spotless! The king-size bed was so comfortable but the jacuzzi bathtub was the best of all for me, right down to the high-quality toiletries and view of the garden. The room was very spacious and we felt secure on the property to sleep with the patio door wide open. This was an excellent experience not only for us but for our dogs as well.”
At this pet-friendly hotel we strive to make you and your pet’s experience comfortable, convenient, fun and relaxing! Please see the resource listings for pets in the Sedona area below. We recommend pet sitter Laura Shelton, among others. She may be reached at 805-722-0087, or emailed at laura_email2000@yahoo.com. Laura loves all breeds and personalities. Let her help you make your pet’s visit to Sedona as wonderful as possible. Leashed walks from your lodging or pet sitting while you are out are both available!
