Hotel Schloss Sonnenburg

Steeped in history, beautifully maintained and impressive in every way, this hotel is like nowhere else I've ever stayed. When you book, be sure and get "3/4 board" so both your breakfast and dinner are included. All of the food is wonderful: creative, locally-sourced and impeccably executed. The service is wonderful and you'll never find a better location. We always come in the fall and have never been disappointed.

What an amazing hotel - we stayed for the weekend of the Maratona dles Dolomites cycling event, and it was the perfect place for us. A short 25 minute drive to where the race started, it was a great location. But the food and spa facilities meant we were in perfect shape before the race, and could unwind afterwards with saunas and massages available. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay.

On our arrival at Hotel Schloss Sonnenburg we immediately felt enveloped into a warm family. We were living in the lap of luxury but we felt as comfortable as though we were at home. Friendly yet supremely professional, the staff set the convivial atmosphere. Always a tough choice whether to hit the slopes or to snuggle into a cozy corner, in front of an open fire, knowing attentive company could be found. From a touch-light procession through the enchanting village to an evening soirée, you can be as involved as you wish in the family friendly hotel activities. We were fortunate enough to receive a guided tour of the hotel by our Host, Gunter Knoetig, who amazed us with the history and tales of this wonderful medieval building. Service is exemplary, professional but never stuffy. Staff uniforms replaced by dirndls enhances the authenticity of this pretty castle. Always at hand and willing to help, they ensured our stay exceeded all expectations. A shuttle bus is provided to the nearby slopes at regular intervals throughout the day, and a there is a spacious ski room to dry equipment over night. Every meal is a delight. The phenomenal cuisine, includes a relaxed breakfast buffet that sets you up for the slopes and a magnificent dinner on return, fit for a king! Afternoon tea is provided for those who opt for a spa day. The spa, which is a sublime haven of sybaritic delights, welcomes all ages and is immaculately clean like the rest of the hotel. The towels always fresh and folded, with sparkling water and healthy snacks constantly available. It is these refined touches which make Hotel Schloss Sonnenburg an unforgettable experience. While the hotel is enchanting amidst snow, I look forward to enjoying my breakfast, basking in the tranquil views of the mountains in Spring time. This will most definitely not be my last visit to this wonderful castle - we are already booked in for next year!
