My wife and I stayed at the Sonnenalp for a one-night break-away from our care-giving duties and had a wonderful time. Everything about the Sonnenalp was beyond our expectations and made us very homesick for Europe. The reception staff, bellmen, restaurant and just every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional and welcoming in the most sincere manner. The construction,... More

We have stayed at the Sonnenalp many times over the years and it never fails to please our entire family. The place is very well maintained and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a mid-sized charming hotel in central Vail village. A couple of notes: 1. The larger suites are well suited for families. Many... More

This is a review that I forgot to write last year. I enjoyed my second stay at the Sonnenalp much more than the first. The breakfast was excellent, the staff friendly and accomodating, and the room very nice with a great view of the stream, pool and woods. I will be back!

Absolutely gorgeous property that has done an impeccable job of carrying its brand identity throughout the resort, from staff service to furnishings to cuisine to the tiniest details and fixings in the room. We never did get the radiant heating in the bathroom to work, and the elevators are comically slow. Otherwise, not a complaint.

Just completed a 5 night stay with my wife. The service, room, morning breakfast with our favorite newspapers, and ambiance were over the top. At breakfast we had a visit from a fox that came right up to our window. I have been coming to Vail since the 70's...the Sonnenalp offered the best overall experience! The complementary picnic on the... More

My wife, my teenage son and daughter, and I just returned from a 5-day stay at the stellar Sonnenalp in Vail. From our experience booking our stay with the hotel's reservationist, Debbie, to our bellman's, Jamie's, greeting and service, to the warm greeting given us by Raphael at the front desk as we checked in, we felt welcomed as old...

WOW - what can I say. The Sonnenalp has exceeded all my expectations & please trust me you will not get this level of service & detail anywhere else here in Vail. As a Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Savoy or Plaza Athenne Paris girl I am used to 5 star hotels in every country I travel. I was slightly nervous... More

Just returned yesterday. This was the maximum we had ever spent on a hotel BUT worth every penny. The hotel is central to Vail activities, right in the middle between Golden Peak and Lions Head. The free shuttle stops in front of the hotel. Beautiful decor, wonderful breakfast and staff.... Just amazing. Always smiling and willing to help in anyway... More

We stayed here early March 2013. We have traveled halfway around the world and have never ever experienced better service and a willingness to please than at this home away from home. The staff makes you feel special and go out of their way to accommodate. The breakfast buffet is high quality and well worth getting the package if offered.... More

I live in Colorado and do between one and three girls' getaways at the Sonnenalp every year. (Would go more often if ski season didn't put it out of my price range). I have never been disappointed by any minute detail of any stay. All staff members incredibly polite and helpful. The main purpose of the our stay is the... More
