About Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel
Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel is an adults-only boutique hotel in West Sedona. Its 40 Atrium suites are freestanding glass-walled cubes set into the landscape, each with a private rooftop deck and fire pit.
What sets it apart is the design: it bills itself as North America’s first landscape hotel, built to frame 360-degree red-rock views while sitting lightly on the land. It suits couples, honeymooners and design-minded travelers who want a quiet stay.
