Crystal Creek Capital opens Mountain Modern Sedona hotel

Crystal Creek Capital, a Jackson Hole, WY-based private equity real estate investment firm, has opened Mountain Modern Sedona, marking the second location for the adventure-fueled hotel brand.

Following an extensive property-wide renovation and transformation of the former Sedona Real Inn & Suites, the new hotel offers 89 rooms, studios and suites across eight buildings, as well as an outdoor pool and hot tub, a communal lobby and The Den, a restaurant-meets-social hub.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Mountain Modern brand to Sedona,” said Robert Nolan, co-creator of the Mountain Modern concept and COO, Crystal Creek Hospitality. “Mountain Modern is an approachable and playful brand, one that is ultimately rooted in the local experience and destination, and we hope that our property can be a place for travelers and locals alike to recharge, connect and dive into everything that makes Sedona so magical.”

Designed by Phoenix-based architecture and design firm RSP Architects, the property features some studios with balconies and fireplaces, as well as amenities from MALIN+GOETZ. The hotel has custom gear walls that offer year-round storage for hiking boots, walking sticks, backpacks and more. Two suites were transformed into wellness-centric retreats, each featuring a dedicated studio equipped with a Peloton bike, yoga gear and exercise equipment.

Inside the lobby, a digital screen behind the front desk displays videos of the Sedona landscape, captured by outdoors and nature photographer Ryan Sheets. His photography, paying homage to Sedona’s surroundings, can also be found throughout the property and behind the headboards in all the guestrooms.

Located in one of Arizona’s most popular outdoor destinations, the hotel also offers:

  • Wise Guides: A signature of the Mountain Modern brand, they can assist guests in mapping out their next adventure, whether it be searching for hidden hiking trails and mountain biking spots or the best views of Sedona’s natural geology or favorite local eateries.
  • Gear storage & tuning station: The onsite gear storage and tuning station features all the necessary tools for mountain bike tune-ups and washing after hitting the trails.
  • Pet-friendly offerings: The property is extremely dog-friendly and features a private outdoor park and pet programming, as well as curated itineraries for pet-friendly activities and hikes in the destination, a pet-friendly menu at The Den, in-room amenities like dog beds, water bowls, toys and more.
  • Well-being and destination-driven programming: Guests can participate in a daily schedule of complimentary well-being activities, including crystal bowl sound baths, energy alignment workshops, mindful meditation and breathwork sessions, Sunrise Connection ceremonies based on Native American traditions for setting intentions, chakra balancing and mythical Vortex Talks to learn the science behind Vortices.
  • Live music: There’s live music every Thursday through Saturday at the park or in The Den.
