Sedona, AZ — Nestled in the vibrant heart of West Sedona resides a shining jewel of a hotel that is part of Best Western’s latest boutique collection — the Aiden. The Aiden by Best Western @ Sedona is part of a trendy new collection of modern, suburban boutique hotels by Best Western with cool, laid-back personalities. No two hotels are alike and with a quick wit and ready smile, Aiden embodies the eclectic spirit of the neighborhood it’s located within – a welcoming host with local Sedona flair.
Sedona’s Aiden is a three-story, 66-room limited-service oasis boasting amenities that rival resorts in Red Rock Country, while keeping prices reasonable.
Panoramic red rock views, private balconies, and a pet-friendly atmosphere with a dog park welcome both human and furry guests. State-of-the-art relaxation awaits in the relaxation room featuring massage chairs that melt away tension with automated full-body relief.
You can host a family reunion in the trendy community room or ponder life’s mysteries in the mindfulness meditation room. Original art by Aiden owner Dan Campbell adorn the halls and rooms, adding a dash of culture to your stay.
The amenities pamper and impress: refrigerators and premium TV channels in each spacious room, heated pathways, a welcoming fire pit outdoors, HDTVs that connect seamlessly to your devices, walk-in showers with top-of-the-line fixtures, a sparkling pool, a fully stocked fitness studio, guest laundry, FREE high-speed WiFi, a bike cleaning and repair station for mountain bikers, a well-appointed bar serving up cold drinks and small bites located on property, and free breakfast to fuel up for adventure — the Aiden has it all!
Electric Vehicle drivers can charge up at the on-site charging station. And the crowning glory – a $28,000 Concordia state-of-the-art coffee machine capable of crafting any java concoction your heart desires!
The grounds feature a winding spiritual path leading to a life-sized Buddha statue, perfect for quiet contemplation.
Guests can also create their own Cairns, next to the statue, as part of their meditation process. Cairns are a stack of stones balanced atop one another to mark a spiritual place, Cairns symbolize balance and harmony in life and the universe. They serve as guidance markers. Or guests can purchase a miniature one that’s already made at the hotel’s gift shop.
And that’s not all. The Aiden occupies a prime central location surrounded by top Sedona restaurants and shopping, many within walking distance.
A wine and beer restaurant/bar with live music almost every night of the week waits next door via a connecting gate that leads you into Vino Di Sedona.
