6 Sedona Hotels with Private Hot Tubs Reviewed
1. Sedona Pines Resort
The Vibe
This 5-star resort sprawls along Route 89A with a heated outdoor pool and two hot tubs that guests actually use—one review called the pool area “loved.” The 9.1 cleanliness score ranks highest among the 5-star properties here, and the 8.9 location beats most for a secluded Sedona stay without noise from the main strip.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include charcoal grills on most decks, plus gas grills near the activity center if you don’t feel like bringing coals. There’s a restaurant on-site, free parking, and a fitness center. The putter golf course is a nice oddball bonus. Heads up: housekeeping only kicks in for stays of 3+ nights, and the resort is undergoing an asphalt project starting March 2026 that may impact your stay. Pets are not allowed—only service animals. Kids 18+ are charged as adults, so check those occupancy numbers carefully.
Choose this if: You want reliable hot tub access with strong cleanliness scores (9.1) and don’t mind being 20 minutes from Cathedral Rock’s trails.
2. Arabella Hotel Sedona
The Vibe
Location score 9.5 speaks for itself—this is the closest pick to Sedona’s main shopping and dining strip. Guests rave about the breakfast (served 6:30 AM–10 AM weekends), the evening music entertainment, and the stargazing activities. The year-round hot tub and seasonal outdoor pool round out the wellness offerings. Staff score 9.1, which beats most in this list.
What You Actually Get
The hotel serves a continental breakfast with vegetarian, gluten-free, and American options. Rooms offer garden or pool views, free WiFi (scoring 9.1), and free private parking. Only certain courtyard ground-floor rooms accept pets, with a $25/night fee—contact the property to confirm availability. Kids 18+ are charged as adults. Check-in starts at 4 PM, breakfast runs until 10 AM on weekends, and the property offers free private parking.
Choose this if: You value walkability to shops and dining over sprawling resort grounds—this one’s in the heart of it.
3. Sugar Loaf Lodge
The Vibe
Staff score 9.6—the highest across all six properties—and guests confirm it in quotes: one late-arriving traveler got a personalized text from the office when they realized check-in time was missed. The hot tub runs at 104°F, per the property’s own answer to a recent guest question. Location 9.4 puts you close to both Uptown Sedona and the quieter west side.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (scored 8.3, the weakest in this list for connectivity—worth noting if you need to work), an outdoor seasonal pool, and the hot tub that’s open and ready. Breakfast isn’t included—just complimentary coffee, tea, and light snacks. The vibe is pure motel-style charm: simple, clean, and well-run. Pets are allowed on request with charges. Kids 13+ are charged as adults. Free private parking on-site. Check-in runs until midnight, so late arrivals are welcome.
Choose this if: You want the best service-to-price ratio in Sedona and can live without breakfast-included.
4. Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona
The Vibe
This Hilton Vacation Club property lands a solid 8.8 overall score with balanced 9.0s across staff, facilities, and cleanliness. The hot tub and heated pools stay open year-round (per guest Q&A responses). Location 9.2 is strong, though note: studio units face the parking lot—spring for a one-bedroom if you want red rock views from the balcony. The on-site golf course is a unique perk among these picks.
What You Actually Get
Every room includes a full kitchen—major win for extended stays—plus free WiFi (8.4), free parking, and fitness center access. The hot tub/jacuzzi is listed separately from the pool, meaning dedicated soaking space. No pets allowed (only service animals). Groups booking 9+ rooms face different policies. No daily maid service, and a deposit for incidentals is taken at check-in. Check-out is 10 AM—earlier than most on this list.
Choose this if: You’re staying 3+ nights and want to cook your own meals without sacrificing hot tub access.

The Vibe
Secluded in Oak Creek Canyon, this 3-star holiday home property scores 9.1 for location and 9.0 for WiFi—surprising strength for a canyon setting. Guests describe it as “secluded, private, relaxing” and note easy access to both Sedona and Flagstaff. The hot tub is listed as a facility, though specific details about temperature or hours aren’t specified in reviews—call ahead to confirm. Staff 9.0 is solid.
What You Actually Get
Each unit includes a kitchen. Pets are allowed with a $35 one-time fee covering your entire stay—the best pet policy in this list. The BBQ grills are propane (provided). Reviewers mention the atmosphere and views as standout features. Free WiFi (9.0), free parking, and on-site hot tub. Check-in ends at 10 PM—the strictest cutoff here—so plan your drive accordingly.

Choose this if: You’re bringing a dog and want a secluded canyon setting with a kitchen and hot tub.
6. Getaways at Sedona Pines Resort
The Vibe
Despite being on the same property as Sedona Pines Resort, this listing scores a 9.0 overall—the highest in this guide. The tiny-house setup guests rave about feels more private than the main resort’s rooms. Cleanliness scores 9.2, the top mark among all six properties. Two hot tubs are confirmed open by guest Q&A. Location 9.1 beats the main resort’s 8.9, likely because the tiny houses feel more tucked away.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (8.5), free private parking, outdoor pool, fitness center, and restaurant on the same property. The tiny houses come with kitchen facilities. Note: the same asphalt project affecting the main resort (starting March 2026) applies here too. No pets allowed. Check-in runs until 11 PM—more flexible than the main resort’s 4 PM cutoff. Guests in reviews note it’s far enough from downtown to avoid traffic but close enough to drive in quickly.
Choose this if: You want the highest-rated hotels with private hot tub in Sedona and prefer a tiny-house feel over a resort building.
