“Europe in Vail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2012

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.

“Great hotel in the heart of Vail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

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 on "Top Chef" and "Iron Chef" and has some great food choices.

“Best in Colorado”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012
1
person found this review helpful

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, genuine, and always glad to be of service. The best!

Room Tip: It does not matter - since Vail is a pedestrian village, things are not loud - and windows are excel...

“Ski vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

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 Ludwig's is always a special experience and highly recommended.
We never miss to vist the Swiss Chalet, with its more "rustic" menu, for a cheese fondue (the new goat cheese fodue is a delicious addidion to the menu) or an excellent fondue chinoise.
This year's addition of an "on the mountain picnic" was a fantastic idea and made you forget the sometimes not so excellent snow conditions. The valet service in general and the ski valet in particular are absolutely outstanding. At the Sonnenalp they definitely have that special touch to make you feel welcome, provide top comfort and entertainment during your stay.
R. & B.
