My stay at the Sonnenalp was truly magical, with the charming old-world decor creating a unique atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond in providing top-notch service, while the location right in Vail Village made it super convenient to access everything. However, there were some minor issues with the service coordination and limited coffee pods in the room, which felt a bit off for a high-end hotel.

The Sonnenalp is a true gem in Vail, providing a luxurious yet cozy experience that transports you to a charming European village. The hotel strikes a perfect balance with its large, well-appointed rooms and exceptional breakfast spread. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Vail Village, making it easy to explore nearby shops and dining. However, the ski valet service, while generally efficient, could use a bit more streamlined communication during busy times.
