Miscellaneous
Overview
A perfect storm of Alpine opulence and Asian serenity, the Chedi Andermatt certainly makes for a handsome lodging in Switzerland’s Urseren Valley. Slatted walls and Spirited Away-style Japanese lanterns are set against mountain views and roaring fireplaces – both feature throughout the rooms, suites, restaurants and bars here. Its pin-drop perfect position between three Alpine passes (at 1,447 metres above sea level) strikes awe into an exclusive legion of hikers and skiers – oh, and add Bond location scouts to the list: a key set piece from Goldfinger was shot here.
Highlights:
Authentic Alpine village
Year-round destination

In the know
Also need to know:
The hotel's design is thanks to Jean-Michel Gathy, who looked to fuse alpine chic with Asian elements such as Buddhist sculptures, latticework panels, Balinese art and Japanese paper lamps.Rooms are wheelchair accessible, with even the smallest rooms having plenty of space to manoeuvre.
Packing tips:
Fear not about shelf space – there’s plenty of room for multiple layers of cashmere in the oversized wardrobes. Vintage car lovers might like to bring their wheels: the high alpine passes around the hotel provide some dramatic drives – or so thought the James Bond location researchers, given that scenes from Sean Connery’s Goldfinger were shot here. The hotel can even arrange a driving package including Morgan rental and route suggestions.
Dress code:
Dependant on where you dine: go casual in the Chalet (but not shorts-and-sandals casual), and more formal in the top-flight Japanese Restaurant.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Dine on dishes from all parts of the world in the Restaurant – an open-kitchen concept with everything from Indian murgh makhani to the tallest cheese tower in Europe (five metres high, if you’re wondering). Try sea scallop carpaccio with lobster dill, fragrant mushroom risotto, veal cutlets with garlic or sole steamed in banana leaf. The Japanese Restaurant is more intimate and exclusive (you’ll need to book) with just 46 covers and a sultry feel. Sit at the open sushi bar and try the 100 varieties of sake on offer. We love the truffle edamame, sizzling wagyu steaks and tempura shrimp. For an authentic Japanese experience, opt for the multi-course Kaiseki menu. Visit the alpine-inspired winter Chalet for classic raclette, fondue with truffles, and chocolate praline tarts – all served up on homey red- and white-checked tablecloths amid the Winter Village.
Top Table:
Book out the private table in the exclusive Wine Cave for special occasions – just note there’s a minimum spend of 250 Swiss francs for the table, which can seat up to eight guests.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served 7–11am; lunch 12 noon–2pm; dinner from 6.30pm in the Restaurant, or from 6pm in the Japanese Restaurant and the Chalet. The Wine Library takes orders until 10pm; the Bar and Cigar Library are open until midnight.
Hotel Bar:
Cosy up on a fire-side leather sofa in the Bar, or head to the south-facing outdoor terrace. The cocktails take an Asian twist here, with many featuring sake; or opt for a mulled wine in the most wintery months. The Wine Library has a selection of high-end wines from around the world, and the Cigar Library is a unique experience for smokers and non-smokers alike (the ventilation is excellent) – given its cosy feel and view of the Courtyard. There are over 800 varieties of cigars to choose from, with special editions from more than 15 countries: tastes of Colombia, Costa Rica and Cuba can be found in this corner of the Chedi.
