Ambiente Hotel, a luxury, carless resort consisting of 40 cube-shaped guest atriums hidden away in the Sedona desert, is set to open in early 2021.
Elevated on steel piers, the suites appear to float above the ground.

Reflective, bronze-tinted floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed views of Sedona's famous red rock formations and Coconino National Forest from the inside while camouflaging the suites from the outside.
Each atrium consists of a bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and heated floor. Minimalist decor encourages guests to reconnect with nature, and motorized drapes offer nighttime privacy.

Many will also have rooftops for private sunbathing and cocktail sipping.
Upon arrival, guests will have to hand over their cars to a valet driver. Staff will then shuttle them via electric vehicle to the two-story lobby building to check in and enjoy a complimentary cocktail before receiving a tour of the property.

Amenities emphasize wellness. Guests can relax in a lagoon-inspired pool, order a locally sourced juice at the poolside lounge, book a treatment at the two-story spa, or stroll along 'wellness trails' that weave through the three-acre property.
The resort is connected to over 300 miles of trails and will offer mountain bike rentals as well as hiking tours.

After a day of exploring, guests can unwind with yoga on the main rooftop or cozy up by the fireplace and stargaze through a telescope.
"We designed the atriums with the goal of providing an atmosphere of tranquility and rest," May said in a statement.
