Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa

The Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa offers a sophisticated destination for meetings, incentives, and executive retreats in Sedona, Arizona. For some groups, only one thing beats the inspiration of a team-building hike through the surrounding red rock country: the spa treatments or massages that follow. Others prefer to behold the magnificent redrock scenery from the Rooftop Terrace, drinks in hand, followed by a custom gourmet banquet created by the chefs at Reds Restaurant, the signature bistro and bar.

In contrast to the community's predominant Southwestern style, a rich Andalusian-Tunisian decor sets the hotel in a category of its own, from the delicate ironwork on the balconies to the fireplaces and vaulted ceilings in the third-floor guest rooms. Groups get down to business in 2,700 square feet of meeting facilities, including a fully appointed executive boardroom and a 2,000-square-foot conference room that quickly divides into three separate rooms for breakouts. The venues for outdoor events range from the Rooftop Terrace to the Column Garden to the Poolside Fireplace.

In both its looks and dedicated service, the stylish boutique property brings a touch of urban savvy to the high desert's red rock country. The lavish spa, fitness center, restaurant, and proximity to uptown Sedona, Gallery Row, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, red-rock formations, and hundreds of acres of protected forestland only adds to the hotel's worldly&mashand exotic&mash;appeal.
