Parkhotel Sonnenhof

Parkhotel Sonnenhof

Parkhotel Sonnenhof occupies a single floor in Vaduz, a hotel built in 1921 that has stayed small: 29 rooms, no long corridors, a short walk to the garden and terrace. It belongs to Relais & Chateaux, the collection of independently owned hotels chosen for character over scale, and it shows: bathrobes and slippers as standard, room service, breakfast delivered to the room if you prefer it there, and a restaurant that will produce a diet menu on request. The front desk works in English, French, German and Italian, handling a mix of guests headed further into the Alps. Inside there is an indoor pool, a sauna, a spa with massage treatments, and a library for evenings after the skiing, for which there is dedicated ski storage, or a round at the golf course three kilometres away. Families get a playroom and babysitting; a bridal suite and family rooms sit alongside the standard 29; dog owners can bring the dog. Business travellers have a conference hall and meeting rooms. What it does not offer is anonymity: with 29 rooms on one floor, regulars will recognise each other by the second breakfast. Nor is it built for late nights, since the terrace and library close the day rather than extend it. Free parking and airport transfer handle the practical arrivals, currency exchange and an ATM the rest, and check-in runs from 15:00 to an 11:30 checkout the next day. It is a small, historic hotel that runs like a country house with a spa attached, a combination this capital does not offer twice. Parkhotel Sonnenhof is a 29-room, single-floor hotel in Vaduz dating to 1921, part of the Relais & Chateaux collection. It suits travellers who want a small, detail-run base with a spa, indoor pool and ski storage, not those wanting anonymity or a hotel that runs late into the night.
