SONNENALP HOTEL

Exceptional People Creating a World Class Experience

The Sonnenalp has established itself as the premier Vail hotel and one of the top hotels in the World solely because of the people who work here. Yes, our European décor is charming, but it is truly our employees who have created lifelong loyalty amongst our guests.

Our Story

When the small bed and breakfast that inspired the Sonnenalp first opened in Germany in the early years of the 20th century, Vail wasn’t even on the map. As that humble German inn transformed into what would become a celebrated hotel and resort, its founders envisioned bringing their legacy of European hospitality and superior guest service to the United States. In the 1960s, the burgeoning village at the base of the Vail Ski Resort became the ideal location.
