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.

Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel Reviews

333 reviews

"The staff is incredible, the room was stunning and full of awesome features (including a private star gazing deck that my wife and I loved), and the resort is serene and beautifully landscaped with a fantastic view of the nearby mountains. We went for our babymoon and it was everything we had hoped for and then some! We would absolutely recommend Ambiente to anyone who's looking for a relaxing place to stay in Sedona!"

"What sets this hotel apart is the friendliness of the staff and their eagerness to serve from the valet to the front desk to people at the restaurant. It was an excellent experience for us overall. Highly recommend this hotel for couples!"

"We’ve had the pleasure of staying at many luxury resorts, both here and abroad, and the experience and interactions with the staff truly exceeded our expectations. From the reception and front desk to the valet, service, pool, and restaurant staff, everyone was incredibly friendly, remembered our names, and had a clear goal: to make our stay unforgettable. The resort was absolutely stunning, and the only thing we didn’t love was the in-room coffee. It was so complicated to use that we felt like we needed a Barista’s training! A simple Keurig or Nespresso machine would have been much easier to use. We had a wonderful time and really appreciate everyone’s hard work in making our 35-year anniversary getaway so special."

"My wife and I took a Thursday-Sunday trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We chose Sedona for its completely different vibe from our home in Miami, and particularly Ambiente for its upscale, adults only, secluded reputation. EVERYTHING (yes...in capital letters) was extraordinary. The accommodations, the food, and most important to us...the service! Luxury is about the experience...how it made you feel. Everything about our experience made us feel very special. Kudos to the entire staff! My wife was thrilled with the choice!"

"Ambiente is the epitome of a romantic Sedona experience with unbelievable views, amazing food, the best spa, meeting rooms and the friendliest staff I have ever experienced. I cannot wait to see their sister property open."
