The CHEDI

The Chedi is the centrepiece of Andermatt’s transformation into a first class resort. This 5-star hotel is the last word in style and luxury. Its stunning uber-chalet style exterior is created with Alpine wood and glass, while inside, Asian contemporary design mixes bold lines with traditional warmth. The hotel’s dramatic 15ft-high lobby is divided into intimate spaces using wood-burning fireplaces, lounging sofas and well-stocked bookcases. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a 115ft-long swimming pool flanked by glass-encased fires, making it both breath-taking and cosy at the same time.

Understated luxury is apparent in all the rooms, which are decorated in warm Alpine tones off-set by modern, Asian design for a cooler edge.

The rooms and suites are enormous, with heated stone floors, open fireplaces, piles of cashmere throws, sheepskin rugs, iPads that control everything (blinds, music, lights, fire).

The sumptuous and spacious Acqua di Parma-filled bathrooms have deep soak bathtubs and separate rain showers, perfect for easing those tired muscles.

Or relax by your enormous picture windows or balcony which showcase the beautiful mountain views.

Restaurants – Private dining and room service are of course available. However, this is a hotel to see and be seen, and the restaurants are not to be missed.

The Restaurant – Conveniently located on the ground level under an alpine high ceiling with captivating views to Nätschen Mountain, this all-day East-West eatery showcases authentic central Swiss, European and Asian fare, available with world class wines. Watch true culinary talents at work among four theatre kitchens and marvel at the enticing selection inside the five-metre high glass cheese room. Meet new friends at the chef’s communal tables, celebrate among friends in the three private dining rooms or cozy up on winter nights by dining around a crackling fire pit.

The Japanese restaurant – The exclusive and intimate Japanese Restaurant takes your taste buds on another journey entirely, with authentic Japanese sushi, sashimi and tempura (evenings only Wednesday – Sunday) prepared by Japanese masters and visiting chefs.

Further indulgence can be found in the Wine and Cigar Libraries, both offering the finest selection of cigars and world class wines. For something more casual, the Bar and Living Room is perfect for après ski and light bites. In the lobby make yourself at home here among the well-padded chairs and ultra plump sofas, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand and a light snack or a hot signature punch.

The ski service is exceptional, with ‘ski butlers’ to make sure skis, boots and equipment are ready to go.
