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.

The Sonnenalp does everything perfectly. So accommodating, the rooms are perfect, they do the small things really well like free cookies in your room every night, quick room service, can’t say enough good things about them. Definitely worth the money.

A most wonderful and high quality hotel with incredible eating facilities, beautiful rooms and loads of highly enjoyable special entertainment centers. Truly a gem in a great location in the town of the ski resort, Vail.

From check in to check out, my experience at the Sonnenalp was exceptional. The hotel has a beautiful European alpine charm, incredible mountain views, and a team that makes you feel genuinely welcomed. The attention to detail really stood out throughout my stay, from room service and evening turndown to the service across the entire property. The food was also a highlight. Excellent flavors, great quality, and plenty of options throughout the different restaurants. What makes the Sonnenalp special is its character and the people behind it. There is a warmth to the hotel that you don’t find everywhere, even at luxury properties. Beautiful setting, excellent food, and an incredible team. I left Vail with great memories and would absolutely stay at the Sonnenalp again.

One of the most beautiful and comfortable hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, especially the Spa staff! They were all smiles all the time. The location is perfect; it’s right at the foot of the mountain in the heart of Vail Village. The room was beautiful-I loved our little balcony with 2 chairs to sit and have morning coffee. The buffet breakfast was by far the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to stay here again!

This was our first visit to Vail. We are boomers and value quality. The location in Vail Village is superb. Steps to the main drag, shops, restaurants, Solaris. The style is old European. Bavarian Alps like Vail Village. Not modern and sleek like the Four Seasons. A small outdoor/indoor connecting pool with only about 20 chairs but it was never crowded. Live music in the lobby at night is a nice way to unwind after dinner. People were very friendly and helpful. And rooms were reasonably priced. Less than half of Four Seasons. My only complaint was a pedicure at the spa that was mediocre at best, and cost $130 with the tip. I sat for 50 minutes in a VERY uncomfortable chair. Pure misery. Other than that, a big thumbs up.
