Mountain Modern Sedona Named One Of 100 Best New Hotels In Travel + Leisure’s It List 2026

Rooted in Sedona, recognized among the best in the world. Travel + Leisure just named Mountain Modern Sedona to the 2026 It List, celebrating 100 standout hotels redefining the guest experience across the globe. To find the best new hotels of the year, Travel + Leisure editors and reporters considered nearly 250 properties across 40 countries, selecting the 100 stays that impressed them most. Grateful is an understatement.

Mountain Modern Sedona is one of the few hotels where I felt encouraged to spend as much time off property, as on it. “It can be a place for travelers and locals alike to recharge, connect, and dive into everything that makes Sedona so magical,” Robert Nolan, the hotel’s co-founder, told T+L. Of course, there are still plenty of on-site amenities worth writing home about. Arizona-based firm RSP Architects blends practical design and stylish comfort into the 89 guest rooms; you can count on designated cubbies and hooks to store your Red Rock–dusted gear and luxurious toiletries from Malin+Goetz. Further, The Den, a perfect blend of coffee shop, restaurant, full-service bar, and hangout spot, is truly the heartbeat of the hotel. The breakfast menu leans into the area’s Southwestern roots with chipotle burritos and greek yogurt bowls topped with Arizona mesquite honey—both of which were perfect options to fuel me for hours of hiking and off-roading with Pink Jeep Tours. I returned each day just in time for an après-adventure happy hour of local brews and handcrafted cocktails, which are best enjoyed by the firepits lining the outdoor pool deck. My favorite part of the stay was meeting four-legged adventure seekers. Dog beds, water bowls, and toys are available upon request, plus a full-acre private outdoor park welcomes furry guests. Doubles from $209. —Annie Archer
