The room was spotless, the staff was kind and helpful. The free water and fresh cookies at the end of night was a great touch. The food at the on-site restaurants was delicious as well.
We had such a wonderful stay at the Sonnenalp! The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. We really appreciated the complimentary SUV service, which made getting around Vail so easy. Huge shout-out to Russell—he went above and beyond with recommendations and genuine hospitality.
The location can’t be beat—just a 5-minute walk to the gondola—and the ski valet at Gorsuch made skiing with kids effortless. The holiday activities were a blast! Bully Ranch and the breakfast buffet were both excellent. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!
Favorite place to stay in Vail. The best spa services and restaurant inside the hotel. Love the pool area by the river. Rooms are always comfortable and clean.
We had a great stay. Service was exceptional! Everyone was friendly and helpful with what we needed. Room was spacious and clean. It was nice to have a fireplace in the room. Location was great for getting around. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.
We always love staying here! Grew up coming here and now get bring my kids!

This is one of the nicest places that we have stated. Great location very clean. Staff is very polite and courteous. Concierge was very helpful with things to do and see in the area.
We stayed here for a night and we had a great time. The frontdesk was really helpful and let us check in early. The hotel breakfast was spectacular. We loved everything about it.
Property is beautiful and extremely well cared for. We both had a great sleep and absolutely loved our visit to the spa where I had one of the best massages of my life. Would highly recommend.
We’ve been coming to Bail for over 30 years & just started to stay at the Sonnenalp! Our room was absolutely amazing! Huge space & so pretty. We will be back!!! Love the staff & everything about this resort!
