The Chedi
A five-star Andermatt retreat blending Alpine materials, Asian design, a 2,400-square-metre spa and destination Japanese dining.
The Chedi Andermatt is Swiss Alpine luxury with an Asian accent, which sounds improbable until you are beside a fireplace, looking at timber, stone and mountain light behaving beautifully together. In Andermatt, the hotel turns the ski-resort stay into something warmer, moodier and more cosmopolitan.
It is a five-star deluxe property surrounded by the Swiss Alps, with dining, spa and wellness at the centre of the experience. The Spa & Health Club runs to 2,400 square metres, with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, steam rooms, treatment suites and a gym. The Japanese dining is a major draw, with The Japanese and the mountain restaurant at Guetsch carrying Michelin recognition.
Glass-fronted fireplaces, oak, walnut, layered leather and the Love Bath Ceremony all fit the broader mood: romantic, tactile, slightly hedonistic in a snow-quiet way. It is a hotel for couples, skiers, spa loyalists and travellers who like a mountain address to come with a serious dinner plan.
The Chedi’s trick is atmosphere. It makes Andermatt feel less like a stopover and more like a reason.
