I've traveled to the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock twice now, and both times with my two dogs in tow. The best perk? Pet-friendly rooms are on the ground floor and feature sliding doors leading to the outside, giving pet owners an easy way to walk their dogs. Aside from check in, you can easily walk your dog without ever having to step foot in the lobby. The hotel's grounds are gorgeous--surrounded by Sedona's famed red rocks. There aren't too many green areas in the hotel parking lot where can you walk your dog (this is a desert after all), but you can easily walk around the perimeter of the resort. At roughly 10 miles from downtown, the hotel's a little bit far from center of town, but it's quieter setting can be ideal for dogs that bark at every little noise. Like mine. :-)
The hotel also provides pets with a bed, bowls, a place mat, a gift, and snack--provided you make a reservation 24 hours in advance. My dogs were greeted with toys and treats. The rooms I've stayed in on the ground floor are particularly spacious. Expect a bedroom, bathroom and lounge area. If you'd prefer your pet stay confined in the bathroom (in case the hotel staff comes in), you can simply close the door and let them roam in the space. Dogs larger than 75 pounds are not permitted. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required.
You can dine on the patio of the on-site Grille at Shadow Rock with your pet, but I'd make sure they're on a leash. Room service is another great option, especially if your dog doesn't like being around other dogs.
I have walked my dogs on the outskirts of the across-the-street Sedona Golf Resort grounds, but I just called over there and they said dogs were not allowed. If you do take them there, be sure to pick up after your animal. And if anyone asks you to not walk your dogs there, you should leave immediately.
Overall, I'd recommend this hotel to dog owners looking for a secluded place with gorgeous grounds and spacious rooms. Happy tails!
Please note: my stay was comped. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
