Asian Design Meets the Swiss Alps
The Chedi Andermatt is unusual. The hotel is in central Switzerland (1,447m elevation in Andermatt), but the design vocabulary is Asian — pavilion-style buildings, dark wood, paper lanterns, fireplaces in every public space. It works. The contrast between the alpine setting and the Asian sensibility makes it the most distinctive luxury hotel in Switzerland.
The hotel opened in 2013 as part of a larger Andermatt development backed by Egyptian businessman Samih Sawiris. The town itself has been transformed — Andermatt was a sleepy military town 15 years ago; today it’s a serious alpine destination with skiing, golf, and the Chedi as its anchor.
The Spa
The 2,400m² spa is the largest in central Switzerland. Five treatment rooms, a 35-meter indoor pool (heated to 35°C — exactly body temperature), separate hammam, sauna, ice room, and quiet rooms. The pool is the show-stopper: floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Alps.
Skiing & Year-Round Access
The hotel has direct access to SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun (one of Switzerland’s largest ski areas) via the Gemsstock cable car, 5 minutes by hotel shuttle. Equipment storage, ski-in/ski-out for premium suites. In summer, the same area becomes hiking and mountain biking terrain.
