The Chedi Residences Andermatt offer a rare luxury ownership opportunity in the Swiss Alps, writes Arun Kakar
In a Swiss Alpine village once used as a filming location for Goldfinger, a new breed of luxury hotel has come to Europe, boasting a style that James Bond himself would admire.
The Chedi Andermatt Hotel & Residences opened in 2013 and sets a new standard of design and hospitality in Switzerland. The Chedi Andermatt is in perfect harmony with the village’s architecture.
The building, design, materials and colours are very much inspired by the architecture and materials of the surrounding region. Designer Jean-Michel Gathy gave his own personal touch by creating the symmetrical lines and the balanced design he’s well known for, where he mixes tradition and modernity.
