The Sonnenburg is currently taking a short seasonal break.
We will reopen on December 4th, 2026, and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay.
Welcome in the family hotel
Sonnenburg in Lech, Austria!
Cliché aside. To be completely honest:
“The noblest art is that of making others happy.”
It is what we strive for. Every day.
Through our location in a unique mountainscape.
Through filling our house with books and stories.
Through the heartfelt kindness with which we face every child and adult.
And every guest in our hotel amidst the mountains of Lech Zürs.

Throughout the years we have never lost sight of what is most important to us: Making every generation feel at home at Hotel Sonnenburg.

A snowy stay in Hotel Sonnenburg in Lech, Vorarlberg
White mountain tops, busy slopes and hearty, warming dishes in rustic cabins. Across the borders, these are the scenes which come to mind when thinking of wintry Austria. At the heart of it all: our Hotel Sonnenburg. Directly on the slopes and nestled in between the cliché beauty of the surrounding mountains. One step outside the front door and your family ski holiday in Austria has begun. And yes: It actually is as unmatched as you might hope.
Perfect for beginners and avid skiers alike, the ski area Lech Zürs surrounding our hotel has over 300 kilometres of slopes and over 200 kilometres of deep-snow runs to offer – making it one of the largest ski areas worldwide. But we don’t want to brag. See for yourself and spend a holiday with your loved ones exploring the endless possibilities in our winter wonderland. Because even for non-skiers there is a lot on the agenda, from cross-country-skiing to sledging through to ice skating.

Take your little ones along and visit some of the most popular kid’s attractions in the region or set out on your own, leaving your children in the loving care of our team. No matter what your heart desires, in our family hotel in Austria you and your wishes come first.
Experience wonderful moments with your family. Among people who are delighted to welcome you.

“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything,” Michael J. Fox once said. And family memories are created in Lech.
Skiing in winter or hiking in summer? Active families have plenty of action and activities to look forward to when spending a holiday at our 5-star family hotel in Lech am Arlberg. But not only that. We also offer family wellness all year round. Thanks to our loving childcare, even our older guests have enough time to themselves. Because “family friendly” is more to us than just a word.
We at the Sonnenburg constantly have new things to tell you and of course you can always expect new events for the whole family during your holiday in the mountains.
Sonnenburg
As a literary hotel, reading is especially close to our hearts. That’s why we regularly organise author readings and literary events. Between events, the whole family can browse through our extensive hotel library. A holiday surrounded by books. What more is there to add?
Good to Know Before Your Stay at the Sonnenburg
Until what time can I stay in my room on departure day?
On your departure day, your room is available until 11:00 am. A later check-out is possible on request, subject to availability.
How does the arrival in Oberlech work – especially with luggage?
In winter, you drive to Lech and park your vehicle in the underground car park Anger. As Oberlech is car-free during this time, you then travel up to Oberlech by gondola. Your luggage is collected at the arrival point and brought directly to Sonnenburg, where it will already be waiting in your room – for a relaxed arrival and a comfortable start to your holiday. In summer, you can drive directly to Hotel Sonnenburg with parking available on site.
What meals are included in a stay at Hotel Sonnenburg?
Half board with breakfast and dinner is included in your stay at Hotel Sonnenburg. In the morning, a generous breakfast buffet is waiting for you; in the evening, a multi-course dinner with several options, including vegetarian and vegan choices. We are also happy to accommodate individual dietary requirements and intolerances with prior notice. Children are offered their own menus, or, after registration, an early children’s dinner in the Kinderwelt kid’s club. You may also explore the culinary treasures of this region further in our other restaurants: special experiences await in our à la carte restaurants, the sun terrace for lunch with a view, the traditional Schüna and the literary dining experience Textur.
What makes Sonnenburg a literary hotel?
Sonnenburg incorporates literature visibly and experientially throughout your entire stay. Books are available in the rooms, and a library, a dedicated poolside library, and quiet reading nooks around the hotel invite guests to browse and read. The offering is complemented by regular readings and literary events, which both hotel guests and outside visitors are welcome to attend.
Does Hotel Sonnenburg have offers for families?
Yes, Sonnenburg is specifically designed for family holidays and offers a wide range of tailored programmes for different age groups. These include childcare as well as leisure activities for children and youngsters, complemented by suitable rooms and suites for families. This creates an environment where both the youngest guests and older children and adults can feel equally at home.
