Sonnenalp is definitely not what it used to be. It has lost its magical quaint, relaxing charm, as the hotel is trying to cater to snooty latinos. It seems the hotel is trying to be like The Sebatian, but its vibe could never be quite as upscale as they'd need to overhaul the whole hotel. Echt Schade.

The hotel staff was very friendly. They went above and beyond to make the family comfortable. We had requested a connected room and were told we were going to get a connected room, but I think there was a misunderstanding, and the front desk was very friendly about not being able to Give this to us and delivered champagne which we were not gonna use but also give us $100 credit and food and beverage. Our rooms were right next to each other, though. Aside from that the hotel stay was wonderful.

I will definitely be back to this resort. One hiccup the entire trip at the Ludwig. Breakfast is pricey, which was expected however the main attraction omelette station was late getting started. The attendant was not apologetic. We were unable to get this service because of a planned ski instruction. We did not go back to the restaurant.. everything else was perfect.

My husband has been staying here for years for business, and always says good things. I finally "bit the bullet" and booked a room during early ski season. It was absolute perfection. The room was gorgeous, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, the breakfast buffet was divine and the live music in the evening was lovely. This may become a new family tradition :).

We stay at the Sonnenalp whenever we can. This time we were there while my wife had hip replacement surgery. Everything was lovely. The room was spacious and clean. The staff, as always, was friendly and knowledgeable. It’s not super fancy, but it’s quite nice, and it’s all one needs.
