The Chedi Andermatt, hotel in Andermatt, Switzerland
The Chedi Andermatt is a luxury hotel in the Swiss mountain town of Andermatt that combines modern architecture with traditional Alpine style. The property features 123 rooms and suites with wooden floors, fireplaces, and large windows overlooking the mountains, along with multiple restaurants, a comprehensive spa center, and a heated indoor pool.
Andermatt was long a military place with barracks and a shooting range before development shifted in recent decades. The hotel was founded by an Egyptian-born developer and is the first European property of the renowned Asian hotel chain The Chedi, which significantly changed the face of the traditional mountain village.
The name 'The Chedi' comes from Asian architecture and refers to Buddhist shrines, reflecting the blend of Eastern and Swiss mountain styles. Visitors see this cultural fusion throughout the hotel in the decor, Buddha sculptures, and room design, which alternates between Alpine comfort and Asian minimalism.
The hotel sits at nearly 1,500 meters elevation and is about one and a half hours from Zurich Airport by car or train, while the train station is within walking distance. Visitors can rent ski equipment on site, take lessons, and enjoy multiple restaurants, a well-equipped fitness center, and daily cleaning.
The hotel features over 200 fireplaces throughout the building, making it an unusually warm and welcoming place where guests find cozy fire corners everywhere. In winter, the central courtyard with its reflecting pond transforms into an ice rink, a rare amenity for a mountain hotel.
