HOTEL BERGSONNE ALLGÄU. YOUR SMART RETREAT IN SONTHOFEN-IMBERG
Arrive.In peace. With you.
Where tradition once stood, freedom now lives. Your peaceful hotel in the Allgäu on the sunny plateau of Imberg. The perfect retreat for workation, solo trips, couples, and nature-loving holidays with your dog.
HEAD OFF. HEART ON.A HOTEL THAT CARRIES YOU.
Your space for silence and new thoughts.
Up here in the district of Imberg, on the "sun terrace" above Sonthofen, we are rewriting history. From the former "Berggasthof Sonne Imberg" and care hotel, we have developed the new Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu.
We are not a classic hotel. We are your retreat. We have cut the old ties: Here you will find no stiff reception, no entertainment programs and no rigid rules.
Instead, endless freedom, true accessibility and the design of a modern boutique hotel in the Oberallgäu. We use technology to shed ballast. Your check-in is done before you park. Lio, your personal digital concierge, has your back.
What remains is time for what matters: Real encounters in the community lounge, the silence of the Strausbergmoos nature reserve right on your doorstep and the feeling of being completely yourself.
Luxury for us does not mean golden faucets, but the freedom to simply be. Whether in a wheelchair, with hiking boots or a laptop. Whether alone, solo with a child, as a couple, or with the family.

"Perfect for a workation. Incredible WiFi and absolute peace and quiet. I was here for a few days to get away and also get some work done. I had a Smart Double Room, which was compact but really cozy. What impressed me most as someone who works online was the internet. I consistently had 500 Mbit/s for both upload and download. I've never experienced such speed in any other hotel before. For working, I could comfortably sit at the small table in the lounge; it was really relaxed with my Mac. For my video calls, I used the co-working space, where you're completely undisturbed. The entire system in the house is quite modern: a lot runs through "Lio," a kind of digital AI host. But it's really great. For example, you can briefly notify it if you want to use the sauna, and it's switched on immediately. Drinks at the bar are also billed to a "tab" this way. Everything basically runs automatically and without paperwork, which makes the stay very uncomplicated. At breakfast, there's no typical buffet rush. Instead, the table is set directly, and you get a lot brought to your seat, which I found much more pleasant. But the most important point for me was the location up in Imberg. It's absolutely silent there at night; you really hear nothing at all. Anyone who is a light sleeper will appreciate this. I've rarely slept as well as I did there. Overall, a very relaxed mix of modern technology and genuine tranquility. I will definitely come back here for my next workation."
