"Set alongside the stunning views of Sedona’s red terrain, this adults-only property is the country’s first landscape hotel. Ambiente features 40 atriums—all detached and private, with 180-degree views of nature—and rooftops that provide even better views. You truly can’t get any closer to nature, as the atriums are built in the most unobtrusive ways (elevated on steel piers) in order to preserve the environment that surrounds them. A hiking and biking trail is located directly on the property and leads to some of Sedona’s other popular trails. An upscale food and beverage program can be found at the property’s Forty 1 restaurant, led by rising star, Chef Lindsey Dale. Exclusivity and extra attention to detail are provided by the resort’s concierge service, accessed via text message. The hotel’s spa offers location-themed experiences that tap into all your senses—try the Dark Sky Lounge, a 30-minute sound and vibration-based therapy that is experienced alone. —David Duran"
