Bell Rock in Sedona's Village of Oak Creek is one of the most accessible and beloved of the red rock formations, a distinctive bell-shaped butte that is considered one of Sedona's four primary energy vortex sites where the spiritual power of the earth is believed to be particularly concentrated — attracting meditation practitioners from around the world. The relatively easy scramble around and partially up Bell Rock provides excellent views of the surrounding rock formations. Hotels in the Village of Oak Creek are at the foot of Bell Rock, offering immediate access to this iconic formation and the Courthouse Butte Loop trail.
Our Picks — Sedona
Boynton Canyon (northwest of town)
A true destination resort set inside Boynton Canyon, where the scenery feels immersive and the property is built for full days of hiking, spa time, and sunset cocktails. It’s the classic “splurge” Sedona stay for travelers who want seclusion without sacrificing polished service and amenities.
West Sedona (Thunder Mountain area)
An intimate, romance-forward villa stay with richly themed suites and a boutique B&B feel—ideal if you want character over cookie-cutter design. Many rooms lean into Sedona’s cozy-luxe essentials (think fireplaces and oversized tubs) with a quiet setting close to West Sedona dining.
Tlaquepaque / Uptown edge (Oak Creek area)
A small, design-minded boutique with individually styled suites that feels more like a private home than a big resort. Its location near Tlaquepaque makes it easy to mix art galleries and restaurants with quick access to the creek and Uptown attractions.
Uptown Sedona
A stylish Uptown resort where you can walk to shops and restaurants, then retreat to a serene pool-and-spa setup with red-rock backdrops. It’s a strong choice for couples and friends who want equal parts convenience and pampering.
Airport Mesa / West Sedona
A longtime Sedona favorite for big vistas—perched near Airport Mesa with some of the best sunset views in town. It’s relaxed and unfussy in the best way, giving you a scenic home base that’s still a short drive from Uptown and major trailheads.
Uptown Sedona (SR-179 corridor)
A dependable, comfortable Uptown pick that keeps you close to Sedona’s main strip while still feeling resort-like with outdoor spaces and views. It’s especially appealing if you want a straightforward stay with good amenities and quick access to trailheads.
