Redefining alpine luxury.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN: Designed by acclaimed architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the Chedi Andermatt resembles a mega-sized Swiss chalet on the outside, but the interiors deftly scale chic alpine aesthetics with serene Asian accents to offer a new standard in design and 5-star hospitality. Equally inviting is the penthouse, completed by architect/designer Sébastien Caron. "The specifications were crystal clear...make it all very personalized. We took into account the alpine environment...materials and forms evoke the mineral, ice and wood," states Caron. Situated near Andermatt train station, the property employs sustainable design principles and harmoniously integrates with the surrounding natural environment, best exemplified by the courtyard, which changes with the seasons: an ice-skating rink in winter, or an outdoor terrace in summer where you can enjoy light bites al fresco.

AMENITIES: An array of indulgences for the discriminating traveler, highlights include: 123 elegantly furnished rooms/suites, four restaurants/bars, fireplaces throughout, indoor & outdoor pools, fully stocked cheese & wine libraries (with private collection of Château Mouton-Rothschild labels), cigar library, health club & spa, assigned butlers during ski season, an 18-hole golf course (summer season), and much, much more.
