2 Best Hotels in Maienfeld, Graubünden

At the kitsch-happy farmhouse that's been expanded to a small inn, you can have a snack and take in the view or spend the night; rooms are basic but tidy and functional. The restaurant serves up local specialties, and there's a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a glass of wine. As you'd expect from a hotel in Heidiland, kids are very welcome; keep them occupied in the attached Peter & Heidi Playground.

Though there's not much local charm (and nothing particularly "Swiss" or "Heidi" about the hotel), the double rooms are clean but simple and the suites are modern and much larger, all for a reasonable price for the area. An easy-to-get-to location off the motorway and near the train station makes this a practical base for discovering the region or conducting business. You can get a basic meal at the on-site bistro, or grab a drink at the lounge, open only in the winter.
