Until recently, with few notable exceptions, the best hotels (although none of deluxe standard) were in or near Vaduz, but new establishments have now been built along the Rhine Valley and in the mountains. There are 44 hotels and guest houses in Liechtenstein, with approximately 1300 beds in total. Eight hotels have an indoor swimming pool. In the alpine region, there are around 40 chalets and other self-catering establishments. Around 165 establishments belong to Gastronomie Liechtenstein (website: www.hotels.li).

A Liechtenstein speciality is the mountain inn. All are at least 1200m (4000ft) up, but easily accessible by car. They are ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and clean air. Some of these inns have recently been enlarged and modernised.

There are alpine huts at Gafadura, 1428m (4284ft) high, which accommodates 47; Bettlerjoch Pfälzer-Hütte, 2111m (6333ft) high, which accommodates 80; and at Triesenberg-Malbun which sleeps 45; check online (website: www.alpenverein.li).
