We recently stayed at hotel Sonne, and while there's much to praise, there are some aspects that need attention, especially for skiing families.
First, the positives: The hotel itself is visually stunning, set in a great location that enhances its charm. Our room was clean and well-maintained, though the bathroom felt a bit dated. Nonetheless, everything was functional and fine. The spa area was a highlight, offering a serene and beautiful space to relax. Additionally, the food was top-notch, with a variety of delicious options that catered well to our family's tastes.
However, as a family of skiers with two children, we faced a significant inconvenience. There was no heater unit or heated ladder in the bathroom to dry our ski clothing. This was quite surprising and a bit frustrating, given the hotel's location in a ski region. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather during our stay, but had it snowed or rained, it would have been quite challenging to manage wet ski gear.
When I inquired at the reception about a possible oversight on our part, they informed me that the only heating available was underfloor heating, with the only slightly warm area being a small section in the bathroom. This arrangement is far from ideal for drying ski equipment and clothing.
It's worth noting that I saw photos of other rooms with heating units next to the windows, but our standard family room lacked this feature.
In conclusion, while the hotel is undoubtedly beautiful and offers many commendable amenities, it might not be the best choice for skiing families due to the lack of adequate facilities to dry ski gear. I hope the hotel considers adding such amenities in the future to cater to the needs of all their guests.
