Wonderful, European feel with tremendously helpful staff. The western restaurant, though it is not European, is a very enjoyable casual place to dine with delightful food and service. We have used the Sonnenalp for several years for our meetings with tremendous success, and will continue into the future. More

This is a great hotel within walking distance to world class restaurants and shopping with views of the nearby ski hills. The service is excellent and the rooms are very nice. My wife loved the heated tile in the bathroom area. Be sure to eat at Kelly Liken which is also within walking distance... Kelly has appeared as a contestant... More

I have stayed at almost every ski resort and city hotel in Colorado. The Sonnenalp is not only the best in Vail, but the best in Colorado. Swiss (or is it Austrian?) efficiency, quality, friendliness, and especially cleanliness are the norm. Breakfast is outstanding as is the Swiss restaurant for dinner. Staff are completely professional and courteous yet still friendly,... More

We have visited the Sonnenalp a number of times over the years and it is always like coming home. The personnel is very friendly, attentive and always courteous. We love to indulge at the breakfast buffet, which offers a variety of options for everybody's taste in a beautiful Bavarian setting. Especially the pastries are to die for! Dinner at the... More

I almost hate to give this review as I don't want to give away a good thing. Excellent service and great breakfast buffet at Ludwig's. We had dinner at Bully Ranch a restaurant in the hotel but I wouldn't recommend it. The Swiss Chalet restaurant seemed to be a winner to guests but we didn't try it. Our room was... More

Booked a suite for Pres Day Weekend at Sonnenalp. Was beautiful suite but a little too small for our family; we should have booked a suite with 2 baths, as we have two teenagers; our 1 bath suite would have been better for a family with small children. Also, only other complaint on the room was that the TV set... More

When my family and I just got to the sonnelap we had just taken an 2 hour drive from denver to vail. Even though our room was not ready at first the front desk made the housekeeping speed up the process. We were in are room in no time. There was a wonderful pool and spa and my personal favorite,...

My son and I recently spent five nights at the Sonnenalp Resort and enjoyed their Alpine package including breakfast, ski life tickets and other amenities. Most outstanding is the quality of the friendly service by all of the staff. You are truly made to feel welcome at this hotel that is run by a family rather than operated by a... More

We have stayed at the Sonnenalp multiple times and just love it. It is a quaint, friendly, smaller hotel with five star service. The staff is all very friendly and makes an effort to know you by name-your family for the week. This trip we had a little glitch with our room on arrival, however thanks to the professionalism of...
