On September 3, of 2014 we did pass through Sedona, on our way to Scottsdale, returning from the Grand Canyon. We fell in love with the beauty of its Red Rocks. We stopped at the Hyatt Piñon Pointe at that time and now we came back to stay here a couple of nights and to explore the breathtaking views.
Lovely Pueblo architecture and the view from this Hyatt Piñon Pointe is incredible!
The parking lot in front of our unit, our rental car is not visible here...
Husband Pieter is standing in the entrance of our first floor 1 bedroom unit #1712. There are two levels.
Like a little village it is nestled atop a hill and there are 98 2 bedroom and 11, 1 bedroom units.
From our unit, looking to the left...
We did drive up the I-17 from Scottsdale and than the Red Rock Scenic Byway 179 ←click it for some photos and on maps for seeing the above.
Feels good to be home away from home with lunch on the balcony...
Outside our balcony we have our own Red Rock formation...
Next to the square wooden garbage bin you see the stairs going down. There was a very neat walkway, connecting the different units for reaching the pool, restaurant and shops.
Everywhere we saw yellow Banksia roses...
Beautiful landscaping and meticulous gardens.
Can you imagine for having a view like this from the pool area?
It felt heavenly to stretch out and relax...
Yellow Banksia Roses
Stunning views of the Red Rocks all around us...
Even from the Wildflower Bread Company we could see the beautiful Red Rocks...
My vegetarian ginger carrot soup with fresh baked bread from the bakery.
Stepping outside of the restaurant you had this view!
You can read more about the Sedona Geology ←(click). The deep red color for which Sedona is famous, is because of the presence of hematite (iron oxide).
For March 26th this was perfect weather!
View from the Hyatt Piñon Pointe...
Indeed, some of the most spectacular and picturesque canyons and buttes found anywhere in the world!
You can see that we are on top of a hill and Hwy 179 is visible here below.
Wherever you turn, the view is breathtaking!
We both loved their architecture, so well incorporated into the scenery.
Great art work near the shops
We both loved this!
Cute turtle...
Sedona is at an elevation of 4500 feet and got established in 1902
Next I will take you sight seeing to Cathedral Rock and The Chapel of The Holy Cross as seen on above's map...

such a beautiful area! i'd love to see it some day. :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteYou're half way there; seen from our corner! We would have driven it I guess if we could do it in half the distance... Must be breathtaking, especially New Mexico - Arizona stretch.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful scenery and the hotel was located in such a great area. The pool and the views from the pool are truly amazing! Love that ornamental metal cage with the rocks inside too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteOh, the views were so incredible. That metal cage with the rocks inside just hid the pillar support! They all were hidden like that, all over the property. Very unique way of making it look so natural.
Hugs,
Mariette
Deaerst Mariette,
ReplyDeletethank you for showing us this wonderful place! It looks fantastic!
Wishing you a lovely rest of the week,
sending Love and hugs,
Claudia xo
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteIt was such an incredible place and so much to see and to do... Time was way too short!
Sending you hugs and enjoy the remainder of the week.
Mariette
Hello Mariette, I have been cooped up here lately with a spell of rainy weather, so your photos of scenery and sun were just what I needed to look at!
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteGlad you enjoyed these sunny photos. While we were in Arizona for the last week of March, we had heavy rain here at home. Our tulips did rot away in the planter boxes... sad fact.
Sending you kindest regards,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour stay there looks so relaxing, surrounded by all of nature's beauty right outside your door! I love the yellow roses blooming with the stunning backdrop of those rock formations! A lovely inn and great artwork. So glad that you shared it with us.
Hugs xo Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteIt sure was a very relaxing stay and in such incredible surroundings. The landscaping was something we both very much loved, so lush and that for a desert state!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedeine Schönheiten schenken Tag für Tag Freude.
Alles Liebe
Elisabeth
Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteDanke und so kannst auch du mit reisen in die Ferne!
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Weer groot en ruim allemaal!
ReplyDeleteBeste Joan,
DeleteJa, dat moet je leren dat hier in de USA altijd enorm ruim en uitgestrekt is vergeleken met het kleine en overvolle Nederlandje.
Liefs,
Mariette
Dat ziet er mooi uit, die rode rotsen zijn zo prachtig om te zien, de huizen hebben ze ook mooi onopvallend van dezelfde steenkleur gebouwd. Lucky you met zo'n mooi uitzicht.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJa mooi gedaan hè die typische Pueble huizen.
Een ontzettend mooi uitzicht waar we ook echt van genoten hebben!
Liefs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteeine wahrlich wundervolle Gegend - ich liebe Berge - schöne Landschaften -
die Andersartigkeit der Blumen und Sträucher - nur was die Gebäude angeht... da bin
ich mehr für Romantik -
herzliche Grüße - Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteJa wahrlich wundervolle Gegend kann man schon sagen hier!
Die Gebäude vom Hotel sind aber sehr gut abgestimmt auf diese Gegend im Pueblo Stil vom Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten.
Ganz liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas war wieder ein ganz wunderschöner Urlaub. Entspannung und
Naturwunder.
Liebe Grüße schickt
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa danke, sehr schön war es und diese Naturwunder hätte man Wochenlang beobachten können.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Que lugar lindo, eles incorporaram muito bem a natureza no projeto arquitetônico. Amei as rosas amarelas, planto em meu jardim mas as rosas não crescem e acabam morrendo. Um belo lugar para se conhecer.
ReplyDeleteBjos tenha um ótimo dia.
Dearest Anajá,
DeleteWe both admired indeed the way they let the architecture blend in with natural surroundings. Oh, we lost a couple of years ago all our roses due to drought; not easy for growing them in certain hot climates.
Hugs,
Mariette

Bonsoir Mariette
ReplyDeleteTrès bel article, cet endroit est très beau, c'est même grandiose. J'adore les couleurs terres.
Bonne soirée et grosses bsies
Dearest Nathalie,
DeleteOh, it was really exceptional for being able to see this great nature! We fell in love with Sedona last year when passing by on our way back from the Grand Canyon and wanted to go back for it.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow, what a great place. The view is incredible! Especially the pool, surrounded by beautiful nature, looks so gorgeous! And the sculptures near the shops are very pretty. Deer and turtle are so cute :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteAlmost surreal looking and the pool was in a dream spot! Everything indeed was done with a special touch; great architecture and landscaping.
Hugs,
Mariette
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteIndrukwekkend gebied om te verblijven groots en weids waar je ook kijkt.
Het uitzicht vanuit het zwembad doet mij een beetje denken aan een van de hotels waar wij destijds verbleven in Sri Lanka aan de voet van befaamde 'Leeuwenrots' van Sigiriya.
Lieve groet,Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa mooi hè en inderdaad heeft die Leeuwenrots er iets van weg, al is hij niet in zo'n mooie rode rotsen.
Liefs,
Mariette
Many photos that makes one go wow
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteOh, and you will see more of those incredible Red Rocks.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteThis landscape is so impressive! In our country we have red stones and red soil. When Ik was child, I loved to play with this soil. I had made a cakes, and of litlle red stones, I had made ornaments for them. The bred, on your photo is domestic, It is same like in my home. I make such bread.
Enjoyi in your tripes, a nd erite us about them. It is really, worth thing.
Groetjes voor jou. van hartelijk!
Dearest Nataša,
DeleteSo glad that you enjoyed it and even did bring back childhood memories for you; which are the most precious ones.
The restaurant is also a bakery and they bake it every day fresh, quite a variety of breads. In the Southwest it is different from the Southeast but for bread I guess the best countries are Germany, Austria and also The Netherlands... Probably your region does have some of its influences as well. I miss that variety here!
Hugs to you and yes, you will read more about this trip!
Lieve groetjes terug!
Mariette
Beautiful. When I visited my girlfriend in Scottsdale in 1991, we did make a day trip to Sedona. I remember it having such a lovely vibe. Would love to visit again some day. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThank you and you still can since you got your student son in Colorado at the Uni... We both love the Southwest so much and could spend even more time up there.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing landscapes! Thanks for the tour.
Cloudy here, perhaps rain......*s*
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteYou're quite welcome and it is my pleasure for taking you on a tour; more to follow.
It has been cloudy here as well but no rain.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh my!!
ReplyDeleteThe view is indeed fabulous!
I can understand your desire to return to this place, it feels so peaceful and it must certainly make a person feel he or she is one with nature!
The sculptures are just fabulous, how original and lively they are with a touch of humour!!
I bet the artist sells a lot!!
A wonderful post I enjoyed tremendously, many thanks for sharing this with us!
Keep well dear Mariette and enjoy what's left of the week :)
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteYes, for nature lovers this is so perfect and rather quiet compared to big cities with lots of trafic.
The entire set up, including these art sculptures looked all so nice in this natural environment.
Sending you hugs and thanks for your visit.
Mariette
The views are breathtaking indeed. How I wish I could be there right now and rest next to that pool ;-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Vanessa,
DeleteThank you and you always can dream; can't you?!
We enjoyed our time there and would love to go back...
Hugs,
Mariette
It is an amazing place. Before I saw the pool, I was just thinking that it'd be great to have a pool and a view like that. The artwork is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteDearest Mari,
DeleteOh, this entire location took our breath away as it is designed so perfectly and the view is like a dream; unreal almost.
Even the art work adds to its total beauty.
Hugs,
Mariette
