A Deep Dive into The Chedi Andermatt: The Height of Luxury Holidays to the Swiss Alps

If you’ve ever dreamed of luxury holidays to the Swiss Alps, there’s one destination that stands out above the rest: The Chedi Andermatt. Nestled in a charming alpine village surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks, this five-star hotel brings together traditional Swiss charm with world-class luxury. From its state-of-the-art spa to its fine-dining experiences and ski-in/ski-out convenience, it redefines what a winter escape should feel like.

There’s more to this resort than snow-covered slopes and rich wooden interiors. It’s a place where fine detail, personalised service, and breathtaking natural beauty come together in perfect harmony. Whether you're planning a romantic retreat, an indulgent spa break, or a luxury ski holiday, The Chedi Andermatt delivers an experience you won't forget.

The Allure of Andermatt: More Than Just a Mountain Village

Andermatt is a name whispered among ski lovers and luxury travellers alike. Tucked away in the heart of Switzerland’s Uri canton, this alpine haven has gone from rustic retreat to luxury hotspot in just a few short years. But it still holds onto its peaceful character and breathtaking scenery.

Tucked away in the heart of Switzerland’s Uri canton, this alpine haven has gone from rustic retreat to luxury hotspot in just a few short years, as recognised by Switzerland Tourism.

The village sits at the crossroads of four mountain passes, making it a dream destination for outdoor adventure all year round. In winter, the slopes are coated in pristine powder. In summer, lush meadows and alpine trails offer a serene escape. It’s quiet. It’s refined. It’s the kind of place where the mountains feel close enough to touch.

But the real magic of Andermatt lies in the way it combines nature with elegance. There’s a boutique feel to its streets, yet the experiences on offer are grand in every sense. From Michelin-starred dining to luxury spas and designer boutiques, the village caters to those who want their alpine escape to feel extraordinary.

The Chedi Andermatt: Where Swiss Tradition Meets Asian Flair

Step inside The Chedi Andermatt and you’ll quickly see why it’s considered the crown jewel of Swiss luxury. Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the hotel combines Alpine wood, stone, and fireplaces with Asian-inspired interiors, creating a warm and serene atmosphere.

There’s a stillness that settles over you as you enter the vast lobby. It’s open yet intimate, with soft lighting and leather lounges that invite you to stay a while. The scent of cedarwood mingles with crisp mountain air as large windows draw your eyes toward the snow-covered slopes just beyond.

Each of the 123 rooms and suites is a masterclass in comfort and style. Think heated stone floors, goose-down duvets, and deep soaking tubs. Many rooms feature panoramic views of the mountains—an ideal setting for sipping wine by the fire after a day on the slopes.

Facilities include a 2,400-square-metre spa and wellness centre, a state-of-the-art ski butler service, and four gourmet restaurants, including a Michelin-starred Japanese eatery. Service is discreet, intuitive, and always personal.

Suite Life: Inside The Chedi’s Most Beautiful Rooms

Not all hotel rooms are created equal. At The Chedi Andermatt, each suite feels more like a private alpine residence than a standard luxury room. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with family, the options available promise calm, comfort, and a serious wow factor.



The Deluxe Rooms feature warm wood panelling, king-sized beds, and stone-clad bathrooms with rain showers and soaking tubs. For more space, the Grand Deluxe Rooms offer cosy seating areas with mountain views and walk-in wardrobes. But it’s the suites that truly set this hotel apart.

The Gemsstock Suite, named after the famous nearby peak, offers 134 square metres of open-plan living with a private balcony overlooking the village. The Furka Suite is even more spectacular—three bedrooms, a private spa, a dining area, and views that make you pause. It’s ideal for multi-generational luxury holidays to the Swiss Alps or for those wanting privacy with all the perks of a five-star hotel.

Details matter here. Heated floors. Pillow menus. Bose entertainment systems. Everything feels polished yet personal. It’s not just about sleeping—it’s about living in a space that reflects the elegance of your surroundings.

Thoughtful Touches That Make Every Stay Personal

Luxury isn’t just about marble finishes or Michelin stars. True luxury is feeling known. At The Chedi Andermatt, staff excel at making your stay feel effortless. And that’s where it shines.

Your ski boots are pre-warmed by your ski butler before you even wake. Fresh pressed juice is delivered to your room each morning without a prompt. If you mention a preference once, it’s remembered. There’s no need to ask twice.

Private drivers are available for scenic excursions to neighbouring towns like Sedrun or Disentis. Helicopter transfers can be arranged from Zurich or Milan. If you’re celebrating something special, from anniversaries to engagements, bespoke experiences can be designed—think candlelit dinners in snow-covered chalets or sunrise yoga on a quiet ridge.

These aren’t services you have to ask for—they’re simply offered, thoughtfully and without fanfare. It’s one of the many reasons so many of our clients return year after year.



These moments are what define luxury holidays to the Swiss Alps. They go beyond beautiful surroundings and create memories that stay with you long after the snow has melted.

The spa at The Chedi Andermatt is one of the largest in Switzerland—and it shows. This isn’t just a place to relax. It’s a space designed for transformation and balance. After a morning on the slopes or hiking alpine trails, guests return here for warmth, quiet, and renewal.

The wellness area spans over 2,400 square metres. It includes a heated outdoor pool that glows at dusk, a tranquil indoor lap pool, and a Tibetan relaxation lounge. There are ten treatment suites offering therapies inspired by both Alpine and Asian traditions. From deep tissue massages to anti-ageing facials using natural Swiss products, the treatments are tailored to your exact needs.

One short swim under the open sky—snowflakes landing on warm shoulders—and stress melts away. You feel calmer. Lighter. Grounded.

There’s also a modern gym, Finnish sauna, bio sauna, and steam baths, all set in a serene environment. The spa encourages you to slow down. To breathe in the mountain air. To simply be.

Culinary Experiences Worth Travelling For

Food is at the heart of every luxury holiday. And The Chedi doesn’t disappoint. Each restaurant offers something distinct, yet all share a common goal: excellence on every plate.

The highlight is The Japanese Restaurant, led by Executive Chef Dietmar Sawyere. It’s earned a Michelin star and 17 GaultMillau points for good reason. The omakase tasting menu is precise, elegant, and unforgettable. Expect sushi, sashimi, and wagyu beef served with mountain views.

At The Restaurant, four open studios bring theatre to your meal. Here you’ll find Swiss, European, and Asian dishes crafted using local produce and seasonal ingredients. The wine list? Extensive. The service? Impeccable.

There’s also The Chalet, open during winter months, which offers a more rustic, fondue-focused experience in a timber-clad setting. For après-ski drinks, The Bar and Living Room provide a stylish spot to sip cocktails by the fire.

Dining here is not just about food. It’s about mood, atmosphere, and a sense of place. You leave each table satisfied and smiling.
