Its history started in 1917 when an independent gentleman of substantial means decided to build a house in a unique location amidst the vineyards above Vaduz with a park of 5000 sq. meters and an unobstructed view of the Appenzell mountains ? a more beautiful view of a Swiss panorama is not possible. After some ups and downs, the Real family acquired the property.. Exacting standards were introduced, resulting in 1979 in the acceptance of the Sonnenhof as a member of Relais & Chateaux in the top class of superior hotels.

Today, it is Hubertus Real who directs the Sonnenhof hotel. But not just this, he is also a creative spirit with a discriminating palate and also the chef of the restaurant in a single person. He was honoured with one Michelin star and two Gault Millau toques. Sonnenhof has 29 individually furnished rooms and suites, all of them in fine style The ?Armani?, ?Cottage?, ?Modern Living?, ?Pariser Chic?, ?Hochzeit? (Wedding) and ?Landhaus? (Country Style) suites express in their names the style which a guest can expect. The ?Colonial? rooms welcome you not only with their interior arrangement but also with an open fireplace. Those who link Liechtenstein solely with big money have got the wrong idea. The lively arts scene, the beauties of the Vaduz surroundings, the Appenzell and the Lake Constance regions ? all this can scarcely be found elsewhere within reach.
