Sedona is Arizona’s premier tourism destination. Known for spectacular natural beauty, the 23-square-mile city with small-town charm is surrounded by the towering red-rock spires and buttes of the Coconino National Forest in northern Arizona. With such an awe-inspiring landscape, Sedona is certainly rich in outdoor adventure, but there is so much more it offers visitors, including a vibrant arts and culture scene, myriad spiritual and wellness opportunities, and a strong emphasis on sustainability.
Group-friendly lodging options range from boutique inns to large hotel chains. Sedona properties offer flexible indoor and outdoor meeting spaces up to a maximum of 50,000 square feet. Whether your client is looking for a luxurious venue to host an executive board retreat or a conference space where attendees can spread out, Sedona has it all.
Sedona’s off-site venue options are as unique as the ancient sandstone formations that surround it. The Posse Grounds Pavilion, an open-air stage boasting 270-degree views of Sedona, is perfect for yoga retreats and casual seminars. Conferences feel right at home in the Sedona Performing Arts Center’s 750-seat theater. Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village and surrounded by sycamore trees, offers many intimate spaces for gatherings. For truly unique locations, Open Venues offers exclusive event sites in rare and historic properties, as well as iconic wild landscapes that are sure to wow your clients.
Some of Sedona’s most popular attractions are the world-renowned vortex sites. These special locations are believed to be spiraling centers of energy that help facilitate higher consciousness and healing. Ancient cliff dwellings of The Sinagua people dot the landscape as reminders of the area’s rich cultural past. Group tours offered by expert guides vary from yoga on the rocks to off-highway Jeep excursions and get attendees up close and personal with northern Arizona’s spectacular natural beauty. Sedona’s culinary options are as varied as the red-rock formations defining the terrain. From intimate cafes to sophisticated, award-winning establishments, group dining is always a treat.
Beyond its natural beauty and rich cultural experiences, one of Sedona’s most valued assets is its incredible weather—featuring four comfortable seasons with 300-plus days of abundant sunshine per year.
