GOING PLACES
HIGH-DESERT CHIC OUR VOTE FOR the sexiest new resort in Sedona goes to Ambient, a “Landscape Hotel‘’ uniquely designed to meld with its environment and highlight its landscape of piñon pines, natural washes and red rock formations. Just minutes away from the heart of Sedona, Ambient feels lost in the middle of Arizona’s high desert. The sanctuary boasts 40
individual, cube-shaped glass suites (called atriums) that are built on stilts and strategically scattered across the site to adapt to, rather than disrupt the natural topography. An assortment of moody, minimalist décors dramatically swathed in rich earth tones soothe guests while panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows create the illusion of being in, rather
than merely observing, the surrounding red rocks, running creeks and Coconino National Forest. On-site offeringsincluding the stylish Forty1 restaurant, a three-room spa named Velvet and an assortment of posh amenities elevate the lux experience and exclusivity of the restorative, adults-only resort. Rooms start at $1,800/night. ambientsedona.com
