Apart from the historical sites, the town center is rapidly developing a modest urban ambience, with hotels, shops, and restaurants. On the outskirts of town there are large businesses, with branches of multinational retail chains and a ten-screen [[Multiplex (movie theater)|multiplex]]. On the way to the mountain village ''Reute'', high above Hohenems, there is a unique museum – ''Stoffels Säge-Mühle'' ("Stoffel's Sawmill") –  which presents the history of saw milling and mill grinding technologies.

Hohenems has several leisure amenities. In the mountain area there is a small ski resort (''Schuttannen'') and a rock-climbing area called ''Löwenzähne'' ("Lion's Teeth") with walls up to 150&nbsp;m (500&nbsp;ft) and level 10. There also is a wide range of hiking trails and mountain biking routes nearby. The town boasts of the largest recreational centers (13 hectares) in Vorarlberg,<ref>[http://www.tiscover.at/at/guide/96922sy,en,AUAT/objectId,SPF280483at,curr,EUR,parentId,RGN325at,season,at2,selectedEntry,sport/intern.html Tiscover]: Rheinauen</ref> situated on the banks of the river Rhine's oxbow lake.

One section of the hospital in Hohenems was originally built in 1908, and has now been totally renovated. Called the ''Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Krankenhaus'' ([[Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary|"Empress Elisabeth]] hospital"), it is a magnificent example of [[Art Nouveau]] architecture. It hosts the [[palliative care]] unit. The modern General Hospital was built in 1972.

Two state roads, the ''Vorarlberger Strasse'' L190 and the ''Rheinstrasse'' L203 cross the municipality from north to south. The L46 leads from the town center to the customs buildings at the border to Switzerland. Hohenems has motorway access to the ''Rheintal/Walgau-Autobahn'' (Austrian A14/[[European route E60]]).

[[Hohenems railway station]] is on the main west–east route connecting the [[Vorarlberg railway]] line ({{lang|de|Vorarlbergbahn}}) in the directions [[Bregenz]] and [[Innsbruck]]. The train system is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways ([[ÖBB]]).
