    breakfast variety
    cozy atmosphere
    bathroom inconvenience
    lighting issue

    The breakfast was the highlight—freshly baked croissants and a delicious variety of cheeses! 😊 However, the bathroom lights were out at night, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, a lovely stay!

    comfortable room
    beautiful spa
    delightful breakfast

    Would recommend for a short interlude

    Comfortable room, beautiful spa, and a delightful breakfast experience at Ludwig's, truly made our stay memorable with the refreshing fruit-infused water available throughout the hotel.

    No issues here.

    outdoor hot tubs
    cookie addiction

    The place had the most fabulous spa and stunning outdoor hot tubs! Enjoyed fresh cookies each night, the perfect evening treat!

    But honestly, those cookies are so good, I may need to rethink my evening snack choices! My diet is losing this battle.

    cozy lobby
    friendly staff
    relaxing spa
    noisy hot tub

    I had such a nice time here, especially when I got a delicious late-night soup from an incredibly kind staff member and enjoyed the cozy vibe of the lobby piano music. The spa had relaxing sauna sessions and a lovely outdoor pool that was perfect after a long day of skiing. The only downside was a bit of noise from kids in the hot tub, but it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

    missing shower gel
    inconvenient amenities

    this stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations after staying elsewhere in vail before. the room was spacious with a cozy fireplace, and the staff was unbelievably friendly and attentive. fresh cookies delivered nightly and the location right in vail village made everything so convenient.

    the shower had no gel provided.

    great stay with minor issues

    The in-room fireplace added warmth and charm to our stay, creating a cozy atmosphere every evening. The concierge was truly friendly and provided excellent local recommendations that enhanced our experience.

    The location is beautiful but can be quite busy at peak times.

    cozy room
    ski concierge
    crowded hot tub

    Had a fantastic time with my friends! We enjoyed the breathtaking views and played golf at the stunning links course nearby. The ski concierge made our days on the slopes seamless. The cozy room and warm fireplace added to the charm. Don't miss out on the amazing breakfast at Ludwig’s!

    The only downside was that the hot tub area was a bit crowded during peak times, making it hard to find space to relax.

    fantastic service
    stunning views
    operational hiccups
    unresponsive fireplace

    Sonnenalp is a cozy retreat with fantastic service and stunning views. While the pool and spa impressed, a few operational hiccups, like late turn down service and an unresponsive fireplace, clouded the experience a bit. However, the charm of the place still shines through.

    beautiful bathroom
    helpful staff
    great breakfast
    uncomfortable pillows
    valet issue

    The location of Sonnenalp stood out immediately. it created a charming, quiet atmosphere while still being a short walk to all the action in Vail. The room had a cozy fireplace, roomy closet, and a beautiful spa bathroom. I loved the breakfast buffet—it was a real feast! Each morning, I indulged in fresh fruit, made-to-order omelets, and pastries. The staff shined. they were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I particularly appreciated the free water bottles provided for my excursions. However, the mattress and pillows were uncomfortable, which affected my sleep quality. Also, the valet service had a hiccup when they misplaced my keys for a while, causing a bit of anxiety, but they eventually found them. Overall, the ambiance and amenities created a memorable experience aside from a few bumps. Definitely a place I'd revisit due to its charm and excellent service.
