El Portal
One of the real gems, though, could be the smallest; El Portal is more a guest house than a hotel, much less a resort, and is dwarfed by Los Abrigados next door. It’s only more impressive for this fact, an intimate twelve-room hotel that shows a fastidious attention to detail, a meticulous Arts and Crafts replica, with antique-reproduction doors handmade by the owner and antique furnishings and fittings everywhere.
The period touches don’t get in the way of the modern conveniences; suites feature flat-screen televisions, DVD players and high-speed internet access, and most have whirlpool tubs and separate showers. You’ll have no problem finding excellent restaurants during the week, with the help of El Portal’s concierge. The pool, spa and fitness center next door at Los Abrigados are open to El Portal guests.
How to get there:
El Portal is a two-hour drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Guest Score & Reviews
Our 20-point scale is based on post-stay ratings from verified MICHELIN Guide guests. This feedback is important, and plays a role in helping us decide whether or not a hotel should remain in our selection.

architecture, character, spirit - felt like home

We liked the rustic architecture, the presence of the owners, the thickness of the walls, and the all night, well stocked snack bar

Everything - the location is perfect in a walkable area to restaurants, coffee and shopping. The owners are super nice and inviting. The outdoor seating is romantic, with chairs and blankets around fire pits. And our room was large and comfortable, which made leaving to do things difficult. I just wanted to hang out with a good book and a glass of wine.

Very cool southwest vibe. Big comfortable room with fireplace. Really friendly hosts. Great location. Nice amenities. Not fussy. Overall just a perfect spot.
