With the opening of The Chedi Andermatt in December 2013, discerning Asian buyers can now enjoy the outstanding 5-star services, restaurants and amenities of Switzerland’s most talked about resort. A luxurious contemporary hotel and residences ideally situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps, The Chedi Andermatt offers owners of The Chedi Residences privileged access to world-class cuisine, bespoke wellness and fitness experiences and the status that comes with owning a piece in what the New York Times has declared as one of the “Best places to go in 2014.”
Open since December, The Chedi Andermatt is the centerpiece of the new Andermatt Swiss Alps development, ideally situated with access via three Alpine passes, the Oberalp, St. Gotthard and Furka. A unique, year-round resort that is the centerpiece of the new Andermatt Swiss Alps development, The Chedi Andermatt comprises 50 luxury hotel rooms and 119 impeccably appointed residences as well as a selection of world-class restaurants, lounges and bars and the five-star Chedi Spa.
With management by Singapore-based General Hotel Management Ltd, and a contemporary design by the renowned Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International Architects and Planners of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the resort offers a distinctive blend of the best of Asian and Swiss hospitality cultures, with highly personalized services and facilities available to owners at The Chedi Residences.
“A mountain makeover from overlooked to opulent,” says The New York Times, which just named Andermatt – and specifically The Chedi Andermatt – one of the “Best places to go in 2014.” The luxury resort was recognized as the heart of the exciting Andermatt development and village, giving outdoor enthusiasts access to the 9,800-foot Gemsstock Mountain and the Sedrun ski area.
5-Star Cuisine in the Heart of the Swiss Alps
Under the direction of Michelin-starred Executive Chef Mansour Memarian, The Chedi Andermatt offers guests and owners several distinct restaurant and lounge areas. Open all day, The Restaurant showcases four atelier kitchens featuring Western and Asian cuisine along with desserts and on-the-go items. A highly anticipated Japanese Restaurant by Hide Yamamoto will offer authentic tempura, fresh sushi and other favorites. With beautiful outdoor views, the Wine & Cigar Library is a walk-in humidor with the finest wines available by the glass and chic lounge seating. In the heart of the hotel is The Lobby, a place to see and be seen while unwinding in front of warm fireplaces and enjoying The Chedi Afternoon Tea. Winter or summer, with its gorgeous view, comfortable season and sophisticatedly casual atmosphere, The Bar and Living Room is the perfect “après ski” or 19th hole destination. Offering a view of the majestic Gemsstock Mountain, The Courtyard is a beautiful outdoor terrace serving refreshing cocktails in the summer and warm drinks in the winter. The Cheese Cellar will feature local specialities from the Urner Alps and San Gottardo. Finally, The Pool Area offers casual bar service and light refreshments for guests enjoying the indoor and outdoor pool areas.
Luxurious Alpine Wellness Retreat
The Chedi Andermatt is located in the heart of Andermatt, a recreational paradise in both summer and winter. Spend the day hiking or skiing, and then relax with VIP privileges at The Spa at The Chedi Andermatt, a sumptuous wellness sanctuary featuring a 2,400 square-meter spa as well as a 35-meter indoor and 12-meter outdoor pool. Enjoy a session in the Finnish sauna or the Hammam, or a personalized health and beauty treatment from a certified therapist in one of ten private spa suites. The Health Club is equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, and personal trainers are on hand to develop customized programs for guests and owners.
Beautifully Designed for a Beautiful Setting
The Chedi Andermatt is uniquely suited for discerning Asian buyers seeking a second home in one of Europe’s most sought-after locales. The resort features a contemporary design by the renowned Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International Architects and Planners of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The architecture combines traditional alpine style with clean modern lines and sumptuous luxury amenities. The resort’s ambiance is elegantly casual, enhanced by traditional features and materials, like dozens of indoor and outdoor fireplaces spread throughout the common areas where small groups can relax with a glass of wine, espresso or hot cider.
Unprecedented Opportunity & Value
The Chedi Andermatt Residences is available for sale with no restrictions for foreign buyers, making this the ideal investment for Asian buyers interested in owning a home in one of the world’s most exclusive enclaves. Traditionally, Swiss law has prevented foreigners from acquiring residential property without a permit. However, thanks to a special exemption by the Swiss government, those restrictions have been lifted exclusively for The Chedi Andermatt and the Andermatt Swiss Alps resort.
Foreign buyers can enjoy all the same privileges, including purchasing and selling The Chedi Andermatt properties. In addition, because of the “second home initiative” adopted by the Swiss Electorate, The Chedi Andermatt properties represent one of the last possible opportunities to purchase a holiday home in a resort area.
Moreover, thanks to the country’s longtime political and economic stability, the Swiss real estate market is one of the most stable in the world and has shown a positive trend for several years running. In addition, Switzerland enjoys a high quality of life with low unemployment, the ability to innovate, and a skilled workforce – all which contribute to a positive forecast for the real estate market and the economy.
