I've always wanted to stay at the Sonnenalp. It is a great location for everything you want and need to do. Great walking distances for food/shops or if you don't want to walk the local Vail bus will pick you up in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean and had a great view. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet is one of the best we've eaten. The pool and two hot tubs are relaxing. We are returning next summer for sure and can't wait!!!

I stayed at the Sonnenalp for a 3 day ski vacation in December, just before Christmas. All staff was very helpful. They have 3 restaurants, all very good with nice atmosphere, live music every night. The spa is very comfortable with indoor/outdoor pools and hot tubs. Our room had a gas fireplace that made it very cozy and warm. The only downside if you are there to ski is the 10 minute walk to the lifts or gondola. They do have a ski concierge next to the gondola for convenience.

Swing and a miss for this hotel! It was the offseason between summer and ski season. I wanted a quick trip to Vail to spend some time with the family. I just got back from being away from family for 8 months after a military deployment. I had four requests that I asked for when I arrived. Nothing out of the ordinary: Can I get a different room not on the street side of the hotel (It's noisy on that side of the hotel)? No. Can I get an upgrade? No. Can I get a late checkout? No. I stopped to ask a waiter in one of the restaurants who was folding linens in an empty room a question. He could not have been any less helpful. I kept asking myself how everyone in this hotel could be any less helpful on a weekday in the middle of the offseason. I read all the reviews about how great this place was. But I did not get that from any of the employees. I did go into the Gym/Spa room to ask a few questions and they were pretty cool and helpful. It's ok; I took my money up the road to spend at a ho...

As one of Leading Hotels in the World, this is a fabulous place near Gore Creek, surrounded by beautifulf Colorado trees. The buildings, amenities and grounds couldn't be finer if you appreciate older elegant properties. The staff has clearly been trained to exceed guests expectations. If you have an opportunity - stay at the Sonnenalp Resort of VAIL.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect mountain hotel. They upgraded us to a small suite for one an extra 25$!! Our room was gorgeous, and so cozy, and romantic! Could not have asked for a better room. The view was amazing, and the bed was very comfy. I hadent slept that well in a long time! All in all we were very satisfied with the hotel & the room.

Have stayed at the Sonnenalp many times. Our wedding reception in summer of 1987 was in their back yard by the pool. They still do an excellent job with service and food but hotel is getting a litle worn and dated in places. Bed linens are wonderful.

This is a beautiful hotel and the off season rate was great. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff was always available and helpful from the car valet to the maid service. The spa and fitness were very friendly and helpful.

My husband and I stayed at the Sonnenalp for our honeymoon. We had the most wonderful stay. The staff treated us like we were the most important guests there. They helped us plan our activity itinerary, had champagne waiting in our room, and made us not want to go home!!! The resort feels like you've left the country to go to an Alpine resort in Europe. The restaurants and room service at the resort were above average for hotel dining! This is a great place to stay for a newlywed couple or a family. There are so many classy touches from the heated floors in the bathroom to the complimentary bonfire with s'mores and hot chocolate outside. You will not go wrong if you choose to stay at the Sonnenalp- I promise!
Expert Reviews
"When you meant to book St. Anton’s Hotel Post but couldn’t find the time to head across the pond for a ski vacation, the Sonnenalp in Vail is a close second. With its hatched wood beams, cutout shutters, and wooden flower boxes at almost every windowsill, this 127-room lodge is a model in Bavarian style that actually feels authentic. Most of the rooms and suites have fireplaces and heated floors in the marble bathrooms, and many have views of the mountain and Gore Creek. The..."

"One of the many upscale chalet-style properties in Vail Village. Rooms have beamed ceilings and heated marble floors in the bathrooms. An upgrade to a junior suite gets you stone doorways, a fireplace and sitting area, and a timber accent wall and soaker tub. Parking is $20 per day and bike rental is available for $25 per half day. The breakfast buffet is popular here. If you're leaning toward a suite, we suggest the larger Blue Spruce over the Lodgepole variety. Staff will explain."

"Vail’s Sonnenalp —literally “sun on the mountains”—has an exterior that looks lifted from a Bavarian landscape, invoking a sense old-style European charm. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the 127-room resort has the comforts of a large hotel but the personality of a small one, with a skilled international staff, a lovely spa and suites that encourage staying in, with gas fireplaces, heated floors and lodgey touches.There’s a cozy but sporty ambience that envelopes the Sonnenalp, which translates to “sun on the..."
