Set in the heart of the Swiss Alps, award-winning The Chedi Andermatt offers a striking blend of Alpine heritage and Asian-inspired design. This is a place where traditional timber and natural stone meet sleek lines, moody lighting and a sense of effortless calm.
Rooms and suites are crafted for comfort – rich textures, deep soaking tubs, heated stone floors, and panoramic windows that draw the mountains right in. Interiors are warm and minimalist, with just the right amount of indulgence – from crackling fireplaces to built-in wine fridges and generous daybeds for taking it all in. Days can be as active or as relaxed as you like – ski straight out onto the slopes, head off on a glacier hike, or slip into the spa’s hydrothermal pools with nothing on your agenda but time. The 2,400-square-metre wellness space is a standout, with a full menu of treatments, saunas, and a tranquil Tibetan-style relaxation room.
Dining is equally considered – from the showstopping open kitchen of The Restaurant to the intimate, Michelin-starred Japanese spot and a dedicated cheese room that quietly steals the scene.
Ideal for a winter recharge or a slow, scenic summer retreat, The Chedi Andermatt brings a cool, contemporary energy to the mountains – quietly luxurious, beautifully curated, and deeply restorative.
Andermatt might feel like a hidden alpine enclave, but getting here is surprisingly seamless. The Chedi sits in the heart of the Ursern Valley, surrounded by soaring peaks and crisp mountain air, yet it’s only just over 2 hours from Zurich by car or train. The journey itself is a moment – winding through lakes, forests and proper Swiss scenery – with the final stretch dropping you right in the centre of the village. Andermatt is small, elegant, and refreshingly low-key – far from the glitz of better-known resorts, but all the better for it. You’re steps from the gondola to Nätschen and Gemsstock, two of Switzerland’s most snow-sure ski areas, and perfectly placed for hiking, biking or simply breathing it all in at your own pace.

The Chedi’s rooms and suites strike that perfect balance – spacious, tactile and beautifully restrained. Interiors wrap you in soft leathers, alpine woods, stone fireplaces and warm lighting, with subtle nods to Asian design that bring a real sense of calm and considered luxury.
Even the Deluxe Rooms feel generous, with over 50 square metres of space, window-front daybeds, and views across either the mountains or the village. Expect the kind of extras that quietly elevate a stay – from touchscreen lighting and heated stone floors to wine cabinets and plush reading corners by the fire.
For something more indulgent, suites offer larger living spaces and deep, spa-like bathrooms. And at the top end, the Furka Suite is a private sanctuary – complete with its own sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi – ideal for slow winter nights or off-grid retreats with all the comforts included.
Everything has been designed with flow and ease in mind – the sort of space that encourages you to slow down, sink in, and let the outside world drift away.

It’s recommended especially in winter or over weekends. The hotel’s dining scene is a big part of the experience – from the Michelin-starred Japanese Restaurant to the theatre-style open kitchens at The Restaurant. Booking ahead means you won’t miss out on the best seats (or the cheese room).
Definitely. While the slopes are spectacular, The Chedi is just as much about the slower moments – spa days with mountain views, excellent food and wine, design-led rooms you actually want to stay in, and the kind of peace you only find at altitude. Winter hikes, horse-drawn carriage rides, or simply doing very little – it all works beautifully here.
Yes, though the atmosphere leans more towards quiet luxury than big family buzz. Children are welcome, and there are larger rooms and suites ideal for families, plus outdoor adventures year-round.
There are luxury hotels, and then there’s Badrutt’s Palace. Framed by snow-dusted peaks and overlooking the frozen lake in the heart of St. Moritz, this legendary address has been setting the standard for alpine glamour since 1896 – and still somehow manages to feel fresh, exciting, and quietly untouchable.
Perched high above the peaceful, car-free village of Wengen, the Grand Hotel Belvedere feels like stepping into a slower, more elegant era – but with just the right amount of modern edge. A Belle Époque icon reimagined by Beaumier, this five-star retreat blends historic grandeur with a fresh, understated style that fits perfectly with its surroundings.
