Best Hotel in Vail
Probably the best hotel in Vail. Perfect location, great amenities, great food at Bully Ranch, and their Cafe has huge, delicious croissants - some of the best I’ve ever eaten. We stayed in a Juniper Suite with 2 queens, balcony overlooking the pool and creekside. Bathroom was huge. Everything was just perfect. I would stay here again.

Great location. My only beef is there was literally no one staying at the property because it’s off season & they put us in a suite with a terrible view!

Not as good as it has been
We have been loyal to the Sonnenalp for years. And I have to say, was a little disappointed this trip. The front desk gal had attitude, our room was not ready at 4 pm, which is absolutely unacceptable. So yes, our overall stay was fine, but we did not receive the above average service we normally get.

One of my favorite hotel in the US. This place has great location access to Vail town. Everything is walking distance. Facility feels like I’m in the Disney Frozen movie. It’s warm, cozy, and comfortable. Their spa, pools, and library lounge are relaxing and well maintained. 10/10 would come back if I’m in the area.
