Have you ever visited Sedona, Arizona? And have you ever Dined in an igloo at the Hilton Sedona Resort At Bell Rock? It is an experience for sure!
Thank you to the Hilton Sedona at Bell Rock for hosting me. There are affiliate links in this post.
If you told me a year ago that I would be in Sedona this time this year, I’d say, “of course I will be!” I visit the ‘Spiritual Mecca of the Southwest’ often. It’s my escape from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix.
Sedona is just an hour and a half away from Phoenix and 40 minutes from Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. It’s an hour to get to Bearizona Wildlife Park and two to get to the Grand Canyon.
I often visit Prescott first and then make my way there. It’s two hours and 45 minutes from Heber Overgaard and just 37 minutes from Camp Verde.
So, if you told me that I would be dining in an igloo, with the surrounding area full of red rock, I’d probably laugh. First of all, because we live in the desert and second, why?
Until I visited Hilton Sedona Resort At Bell Rock, I didn’t really understand the concept of dining in an igloo. Sedona’s only full-service spa and an 18-hole golf resort are set amidst the spectacular beauty of the magnificent red rock formations surrounding Sedona. The igloo adds a magical, romantic feeling to the resort.
But in fact, it is genius.
With the beautiful lights and the stunning views, sitting inside the igloo is magical. It seats 4-6 and is perfect for social distancing or romantic dates.
Check out their Romance Package and the best Bell Rock offer.
The hotel has a modern/rustic feel with warm welcoming colors. It’s a joy just to sit outside and have a coffee and listen to the fountains by the gas fireplace.
You will also find plenty of sanitary stations, especially by elevators and eating stations along with taking precautions in the rooms with their Clean Stay program.
I am not a stranger to Igloos, as just a few months beforehand, I went on a trip to Finland and checked out a few Igloos myself. Since then, I have dreamt of seeing the Northern Lights from my cozy little igloo in Rovaniemi.
Fast forward to this year, after months of social distancing and masking up, I am finding myself eating dinner in an igloo at the Hilton Sedona Resort At Bell Rock. Life is good.
The view was not the Northern Lights but watching Sedona sunsets comes close.
This is why I spend a couple of days a month in Sedona. I love the sunsets and the amazing healing energy. There is so much to do, including horseback riding, jeep tours, amazing hikes, and tours and rentals.
You can bring your mountain bike with you too. One of the perks of staying at The Sedona Hilton is a Mountain Bike repair and cleaning station.

A cool and casual dining and gathering place, merging indoor and outdoor dining, where resort guests and locals can relax and wind down while recovering from their hikes.
It’s like your own little oasis where you can either relax in your sweatpants or dress up for some drinks and dinner. You can also Enjoy a refreshing selection of seasonal happy hour specials offered daily from 3-6 PM.
The food is delicious, using locally sourced fare and locally inspired.
I had the Prickly Pair Margarita (alcohol-free for me), followed by a Purple Kale Salad and delicious Seared Sustainable Salmon with potato emulsion, Brussels, nature jus, and herbs.
Sit by the fire pit and make your own smores. Check out the Stay and Smore package.

It sleeps 4, has a mini refrigerator, and microwave, and has a Cuisinart coffee maker. (I prefer Starbucks coffee downstairs at the bar).
The beds are really comfortable with 250 thread count sheets.

Enjoy private balconies, spacious guest rooms (some with gas fireplaces) and room service in their guest rooms and suites.
