The SONNE_1806 breakfast

Everything is well coordinated, the rooms, the buffet and of course the personal Sonne breakfast service. A coffee or tea served at the table, then the regional delicacies from our breakfast buffet. Let yourself be pampered at the start of the day and enjoy the cozy atmosphere in our breakfast room. Did you know that the Winderhof, one of the best-known regional fruit refiners, is right next door to us? So you can expect high-quality products - fresh from the field and homemade. The sun rises!

Guests about us

A positive surprise when passing through! :)

We booked three double rooms at the "Sonne 1806" hotel in Dornbirn. Each one was very nicely renovated and absolutely fulfilled our wishes (elegant furniture, appealing lighting concept, comfortable mattress and high-quality care products). The breakfast buffet left nothing to be desired. - On the contrary: the selection and quality really impressed us! I would also like to praise the friendly service staff! We would love to come back!!! :)

Guests about us

Only positive all round

Great facilities in the room. Warm materials. You immediately feel at home. Great roof terrace. Unfortunately the weather was not kind. But the room on the roof is also very nice. Really recommended. The breakfast also leaves nothing to be desired. The staff are soooo friendly. A positive start to the day.

Guests about us

Good hotel in Dornbirn, I would choose it again.

Very well-kept hotel in Dornbirn, with very nice rooms and very good breakfast. Located close to the center, center can be reached in 10 to 15min on foot. Rooms could be a bit bigger, but would definitely book the hotel again.

The sunny side of Dornbirn

Dornbirn is also often referred to as a "smart city", a small town, modern, digital but on the other hand also with history and charm. Over the course of time, a textile town has become a trade fair, garden, education and shopping town with esprit and flair. Dornbirn is also an ideal city for excursions and leisure activities thanks to the nearby mountains, the Dornbirner Ache river and the Bregenzerwald. There is something for everyone here. The city's high quality of life is reflected in the wide range of excursion destinations and experiences on offer.

Experience Dornbirn

Sonnenaufgang vom Hotel Sonne in Dornbirn

In the heart of Dornbirn - in the heart of Vorarlberg

The SONNE_1806, the hotel on campus, is the most central hotel in Dornbirn and perhaps even Vorarlberg. Well connected to the main traffic routes and public transport and yet in the middle of the city, these are the advantages. Explore the old town and the market square on foot or go to an appointment at the Vorarlberg Campus, the important infrastructure is very close by. But the connection is also perfect for trips to Lake Constance or the famous Bregenzerwald. Simply the place to be for business and leisure guests
