A hot tub can be a lovely way to end a day in Sedona. The booking detail that matters is whether you want one all to yourselves or are happy to use a shared hotel tub. That choice narrows the search much more than a long list of resorts with spas.
For a private outdoor soak, start with Junipine’s rooms that explicitly include a hot tub. For a shared tub, Matterhorn, Arabella and The Wilde offer different settings, from Uptown to Highway 179 and West Sedona.
Junipine: a private hot tub in Oak Creek Canyon
Junipine is the place to start if the evening you have in mind is dinner at your accommodation followed by a soak outside. Its official room list names two options: Creek View with Hot Tub and Forest View with Hot Tub. Both describe a private outdoor tub on a deck, along with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen.
Look for that feature in the exact accommodation offered when you check rooms on Expedia. A standard creek-view booking does not mean a hot tub is included, and booking channels may use different room names. If the description is unclear, get confirmation before paying for a nonrefundable stay.
The resort is in Oak Creek Canyon, about eight miles from Sedona according to the property. That suits a trip where you want to spend the evening at your accommodation. If you picture walking out to Uptown restaurants instead, a central hotel with a shared tub may fit better.
One useful question for Junipine is how screened the particular deck is. A tub reserved for your accommodation gives you exclusive use; it does not, by itself, tell you whether neighboring windows overlook it.

Matterhorn: a shared tub and an Uptown evening
Matterhorn Inn is worth considering when you want to spend the evening around Uptown and return to a hotel with a shared hot tub. You give up having the tub to yourselves, but gain a central base for shops and dinner.
Check current tub hours against the evening you are planning. Also pay attention to room access if stairs are a concern: the Double Queen Balcony category is upstairs with no elevator. Our Uptown hotel guide takes a closer look at the walk into Main Street.

Arabella: shared pools and hot tubs on Highway 179
Arabella lists two heated outdoor pools and two shared hot tubs, plus hot breakfast. It is at 725 Highway 179, so compare that location with the places you expect to visit rather than treating it as a central Uptown hotel.
This is a useful option if pool time matters as much as the hot tub and shared facilities suit your trip. Confirm their hours and any scheduled closures for your dates, particularly if an evening soak is a main reason for booking.

The Wilde: make sure the spa access fits your stay
In West Sedona, The Wilde is another option to consider for a stay with spa time. Its published spa menu describes two shared hot tubs in the Haven Courtyard and offers day passes. The menu we reviewed is dated 2025, so ask whether courtyard access is included with your room or requires a pass or treatment under the current policy.
You may also encounter the name Sedona Rouge while researching this property. That is its former name, not another hotel to compare with The Wilde.

A soaking bath is a different kind of stay
A deep bathtub in your room can be appealing, but it is different from an outdoor hot tub. Similarly, a private deck or an outdoor shower does not mean a tub is included. Read the selected room’s description rather than relying on the property’s general spa listing.
Once you have found the right accommodation, compare the full price and cancellation terms for your dates. If the hot tub is the reason you are choosing it, ask about known maintenance and how an outage would be handled. Those are more useful answers than a generic promise of a relaxing stay.
If you spend part of the day near Tlaquepaque, Mi Amore Sedona at 100 Brewer Road is a nearby stop for gifts and keepsakes before heading back to your hotel.
