Dear guests,

In the last few weeks we examined innumerable scenarios regarding how we could design the course of advent and, in particular, the holidays this year. Your and our safety took priority in all of our efforts. Now, what for us was the most unthinkable option we envisaged has become reality: The Sonnenhof must remain closed at Christmas and New Year.

The Federal Government has again ordered the compulsory closure of all businesses providing tourist accommodation at least until 10th January 2021.

This decision has made us unbearably sad. Those who have experienced the Sonnenhof during the Christmas period know the magic which the whole hotel radiates. Not only our guests but also our staff loves these weeks of light, coziness and warmth. We, too, love the magic of our Christmas wonderland. The crackling open fire, the festively decorated six meter high Christmas tree in the hotel foyer, the radiance of the stars in the conservatory – all of this had been prepared for the long-awaited recuperation following weeks of seclusion. All this will not take place in 2020.

The most important part which we miss in all of this is you our guests. For years now, many of you have spent the holidays at the Sonnenhof. Like a large family it was always like a coming home, an intimacy and a feeling of being at ease from the first minute onwards. It hurts us to have to spend the holidays without you and to disappoint you. We are powerless in having to accept the decision of the government while we continue to be convinced that many businesses in the hotel and gastronomy sector with their comprehensive implemented safety concepts were not part of the problem but instead were part of the solution.

How will things continue? We look to the future. We are designing our planning for the future and hope to be able to be there for you again at an early date.  In the midst of this inconceivable inability to plan, we are using the time to make your future stay at the Sonnenhof even more comfortable, more pleasurable and safer. The renovation of the duplex suites and all of the rooms on the fourth floor is proceeding according to plan and will soon be completed. Our trainees have been given numerous training sessions and are eagerly looking forward to putting what they have learned into practice. We have been and are prepared.

...there is only one thing missing and that is you!  You are the reason why we love to work in the hotel sector and why we do not lose our confidence. Thank you for all the encouraging e-mails and telephone calls which we have received in the past weeks. Your loyalty moves us deeply and is above all our motivation. We wish you all the best for the forthcoming weeks and above all health, strength and trust. We look forward wistfully to re-opening and will keep you informed of all of the decisions. If you wish to learn more about the current situation at the Sonnenhof follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Best wishes for the advent season
Your Peter Messner and all of the staff of the Sonnenhof
