L’Auberge de Sedona, set amid Arizona’s iconic Red Rock landscape, has unveiled a $30 million transformation and expansion, courtesy of Kollin Altomare Architects and Whitespace Interiors.
The project introduces the Cliffs (a new category spanning 70 guestrooms and suites), alongside refreshed accommodations, enhanced wellness offerings, and elevated dining and event spaces.
The Cliffs adds 70 rooms to L’Auberge de Sedona
The resort—owned by DiamondRock Hospitality Company and managed by Aimbridge Hospitality—now features a total of 158 guestrooms with the addition of the Cliffs, which was developed through the acquisition and enhancement of the Orchards Inn.
The 70 new rooms draw from Sedona’s natural palette. Earthy rust tones evoke the Red Rocks, deep blues reference the sky, and dark hues reflect the region’s starry nights.
Panoramic Red Rock views, spa-inspired bathrooms with rain showers, and sliding glass doors that open to private balconies or patios connect guests directly to the surrounding landscape.
Existing accommodations across the resort were also refreshed with custom-designed furnishings, locally inspired artwork, and an updated palette of warm earth tones, deep greens, and subtle desert accents.
Beyond the guestrooms
The transformation also extends beyond the guestrooms. The new Duck Pond Pool features a heated pool, hot tub, and private cabanas framed by the dramatic natural landscape.
The resort’s signature creekside restaurant, Cress on Oak Creek, has been revamped, while L’Apothecary Spa has evolved into a full-service wellness center, with the addition of water therapies—such as floating sound healing and poolside yoga—at the new spa pool.
“To usher in the next era of this resort, our approach was to create visual experiences that feel like a natural extension of Sedona itself,” says Mike Dalezman, principal architect at Kollin Altomare. “From the new guestrooms at the Cliffs, to the new event spaces and pool deck, every element was carefully considered to blend into the contours of the land, embrace the natural color palette, and frame the iconic Red Rock that guests travel from around the world to see.”
