There’s a wealth of amazing places to take your pet on vacation in Sedona, from fancy resorts with plenty of space for your pooch to cozy inns with pet-friendly gardens, not to mention the hiking and trails in nearby Red Rock State Park. Many of the pet-friendly hotels in Sedona overlook incredible landscapes and offer hiking and biking opportunities, as well as jeep and hot air balloon tours of the desert. Downtime comes in the form of spa treatments or lazing around the firepit in the evening, with or without your beloved dog or cat in tow. Even better, all of these Sedona hotels are bookable with Culture Trip.
