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.

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.

First stay in vail village. Enjoyed the pool/hottub/fireplace area very much after several ski days. Restaurant with live music was nice in the evening. Ski valet and their shop location only 50 yards from the main gondola was clutch, and probably will have me returning to this hotel in the future.

Beware, Not a family friendly hotel
Was a pleasant enough stay until the final night when a wedding started right outside our room with the loudest outdoor music I have ever heard in Vail having come here for 2 decades. We were traveling with our 5 month old and despite the property knowing that (they put a crib in our room), they never disclosed this would be happening. When I called to express my disappointment, they said they could move all of us to another room that "may be quieter," as if moving an infant and all of our stuff through a hotel at that time of night would actually be a better situation. In the morning I received a message letting me know that parking fees would be waived- which is far from a satisfactory response.
I would not recommend you stay here for a family destination.

The Spa was excellent. The buffet breakfast was only ok, and a little pricy for what you got.
