Liechtenstein Hotel Tips by James63

The price is a little on the high side, though not by Liechtenstein standards. However, it is absolutely worth it.

Unique Qualities: The Park-Hotel Sonnehof is a spectacular hotel in a little country that seems to specialize in spectacular but little known hotels. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and glass doors that look out over the hotel grounds to Vaduz, the Rhine River and the Swiss Alps beyond. The grounds themselves are beautifully kept in two terraces with park benches, old fashioned lamposts, and by early April gorgeous flowers and flowering trees. The views of the Prince's Castle from the hotel are simply stunning both during the day, when the Liechtenstein Alps form a backdrop, and at night, when the castle is lit by golden floodlamps. The indoor swimming pool is quite large, with an upper deck indoors with glass doors for viewing the gorgeous scenery, as well as an outdoor deck for sunbathing. The sauna is somewhat small but comfortable, although kept at broiling temperatures so that you either need to leave the door open or ask the front desk to drop the heat a little. The hotel restaurant is rustically elegant, and the food, including wines from the Prince's vineyard, is outstanding. The staff is extremely friendly and eager to help. This is one of the best hotels I have ever been to in Europe, with American comforts and service in a distinctly European setting. This is truly a well hidden treasure.
