Sonnenalp Hotel

My friend and I chose to stay at the Sonnenalp for a quick change of scenery from the dense urban areas we live in (he LA, me Chicago). We chose the Sonnenalp over a new, trendy option, in Vail, and we could not be more pleased with our decision. Every detail of this hotel feels taken care of - with a staff that is always ready to assist (shout out to Andrew at the front desk for answering our questions and giving us directions to the Apres Closing Concert we were headed to). The independent quality of this hotel made everything feel local. Even in a short time, we were able to take advantage of the amazing heated pool, spa fire area, restaurants in town, and live music at the hotel. With a snowfall that felt like a snow globe, we felt transported to Austria - and for a Vail first-timer, that was exactly the hope we had. Other logistics - our room was awesome with a fireplace, balcony and seating area. Huge bathroom and great details such as use of beautiful raw wood in the closet shelving. Location can't be beat - quick to everywhere. I can't wait to return, and to send my family! Thank you to the whole Sonnenalp team.

The Sonnenalp is a beautiful Bavarian feeling hotel in the perfect location in Vail Village. Everything is walkable from the Sonnenalp. The hotel also offers a shuttle if needed. The Sonnenalp Ski Valet is located just a few steps from the gondola, which also very convenient. The Spa is so inviting and includes an oxygen bar, which is great for travelers arriving from lower altitudes. The pool is indoor/outdoor, so you can choose what is best for you! The dining is delicious and the cookies with turndown service are such a treat! I highly recommend staying at the Sonnenalp!

A spectacular experience from start to finish - The European staff, the food, the cleanliness of the rooms, the decor, the location in Vail, it was a wonderful stay. I hope to return soon to visit this outstanding spot. One of my favorite hotels in the US.

Nestled in the heart of the Vail village, this hotel is nearly perfect. The service, accommodations and location make for an enchanted stay when combined with the vast beauty of Vail ski resort. My wife especially liked the library while my daughter and I skied in the magnificent scenery of Vail. I particularly appreciated only needing to walk with ski boots a few yards to the gondola.

By far the best hotel in Vail! The staff are very kind and helpful. There is a great pool and hot tub area. And of course Ludwig’s breakfast is amazing! I also love the cozy and quaint lounge area. And the ski lounge is great too. I highly recommend a trip to the Sonnenalp.
