PB hotel design editorial

Forty steel piers rise from a restored ancient waterway in Sedona's Red Rock Country, each supporting one of the 40 bronze-tinted glass cubes that together form Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel — North America's first landscape hotel, which arrived in 2023. Designed by ASUL Architects of Phoenix alongside Stephen Thompson of Architect Studio in Scottsdale, with landscape work by Krizan Associates of San Diego, the project's central commitment is one of elevation rather than imposition: the 576-square-foot atriums hover above the land rather than disrupting it, allowing the ancient creek corridor beneath to continue its ecological work undisturbed. From above, the weathered Cor-Ten-toned cladding and dark steel framing cause the buildings to nearly dissolve into the juniper and pinyon pine canopy, the red sandstone buttes of Cathedral Rock and Courthouse Mesa rising beyond. Inside, the design logic stays consistent. Corner-wrapped floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the red rock panorama as something closer to a living painting than a window view, while live-edge walnut tables, linen sectionals in warm sand tones, and hand-applied textural wallcoverings in muted ochre and ash keep the palette earthbound. The restaurant, Forty1, extends the mood with channeled leather banquettes, exposed wood-beam ceilings, and brass-accented dining chairs — a room that suggests a serious kitchen has arrived in the high desert without announcing itself too loudly. The freeform pool terrace, ringed with concrete fire bowls and low-slung loungers, completes a property that treats landscape not as backdrop but as the fundamental material.

"This is a must do experience if you are heading to Sedona. If you stay the only need to leave the resort is to hike and btw there is a trail head at the resort's entry! Adults only..... Each POD is very high end, super relaxing for a couple's retreat. Do not plan on planning to much.... hike, pool, massage, food, cocktails and enjoy the VERY on point service from a team who are obviously 100% bought in on the resort and there to offer very polished service. Spa is intimate and service providers very good at their craft. Pool is perfectly sized, has a great vibe and super relaxed for this adult only location. Food and beverage well thought out, local, service is well knowledged and friendly. one stand out was Kent at the pool! The rooms are large, well appointed and sexy for a couple retreat. Thank you to ALL of the team the property is VERY well done and hopefully we will be back in the near future. I cant imagine a better property to stay at if in the Sedona area."

"My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and her birthday and wanted a place we could both be adventurous, but also relax in luxury and Ambiente provided that perfect mix. Rooms are amazing and very modern. Views are great, and the service was really beyond compare to most places we've been. Everything was simply a text away, including transportation to most of Sedona via a complementary Lexus ride. We had a car on property, but found taking the Lexus ride much simpler since parking in Sedona can be challenging. Only once was the driver already busy and even then we didn't wait 10 minutes - which is what I'd plan for if ordering an Uber. The staff was always quick to offer an activity or dining idea and we could tell they really went out of their way to remember us - always knowing our room number for charges - and also picking up on conversations we'd had the prior day about our plans, etc."
