Check your plane ticket: Sonnenalp Hotel is located just outside of Vail Village, but the décor may make you think you landed in Germany instead. The four-generations-old ski lodge excels at creating a cozy, comfortable environment for guests returning from a day on the slopes (the lodge enjoys exclusive access to the ski concierge at Gondola 1) – rooms are decked out in old-school plaid, with custom-made Bavarian furniture, gas log fireplaces, and heated marble floors. Biomat can be added to a range of massage treatments to soothe sore muscles with far infrared heat and prepare the body for the next day's fresh powder.

When we made reservations at Sonnenalp, we told them we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with complementary chocolate dipped strawberries and prosecco to celebrate. So nice! We booked a Blue Spruce Junior Suite and had a view from our balcony of Gore Creek. So relaxing to hear the creek at night, sit on the balcony and look up at the stars. Our suite was beautiful- so comfortable, relaxing, and immaculately clean- stocked with a Nespresso coffee machine, refrigerator, and microwave. We brought our own wine glasses and opener, but didn't need to as there were some in the room. Our ice bucket freshly stocked when we arrived. There is a walk in closet and huge bathroom with double sinks and a soaking tub. Turn down service with fresh cookies each night. The service is amazing. The best we've ever experienced in a hotel. Personal, attentive, courteous. Perfect. We enjoyed sitting by the pool, where there is drink and food service. The pool is right by the creek, so we turned our lounge chairs toward the creek and sipped drinks in the sun. Loved it.

The Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail, CO is one of the exceptional hotels in the world. Run by a fine family, they recruit staff from all over the world. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very professional. My wife and I have stayed there many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

The location is wonderful. We didn’t need to really leave the hotel because everything you need is there. The best restaurants are there, they have a wonderful spa and pool, and entertainment at night. The staff is exceptional . The European standard is much appreciated. We were there on our 40th anniversary. The waitress at breakfast offered us free champagne to celebrate and didn’t have to ask anyone for permission. I will never stay anywhere else. This hotel knows how to treat a guest!

Perfect location, the staff was amazing!! Rosa in the dining room for breakfast was so kind and took great care of us each morning. The food was very good and the breakfast buffet has so many options. The valets for our car were also above and beyond. They suggested a route for us that was beautiful and added to our vacation! The room was very nice with turn down service with cookies and fresh towels. Service like this is hard to find these days, I would highly recommend a stay!!!
