Schweizerhof Hotel Bern

Lost in the valleys and high Alpine regions of Andermatt, the Chedi Hotel is an opulent oasis of luxury and sophistication.

A unique blend of Japanese and Swiss design, the dark wood and natural stone provide a warm and welcoming getaway from the sheets of snow that decorate the village in the winter, and the perfect place to soak up the beautiful scenery in summer.

Rooms and suites are cosy and warm with soft leather chairs and large bath tubs to sink into at the end of the day. Some of the suites come with private balconies from where you can look out across Andermatt’s iconic peaks.

Culinary treats abound with several dining options available to guests. The Japanese Restaurant prepares authentic sushi, sashimi and tempura while The Chalet serves traditional Swiss fare in a timbered restaurant complete with red and white tablecloths and old posters of Andermatt.

Take a seat in front of the roaring fire and wrap yourself in a blanket in the lounge during winter, or head to the courtyard and enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine in the shadow of Gemsstock Mountain in summer.

After a day exploring the deep gorges and mountain paths, relax with a treatment at the spa, take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool or let off some steam in the Finnish sauna. There is also a fully equipped gym and the option to take yoga classes or train with a personal trainer.

There are numerous snow activities to get to grips with while in the warmer summer periods there are over 500km worth of hiking routes to tackle. Explore paths that will take you across remote natural treasures, lonely mountain lakes and onto icy peaks.

The Bellevue Palace Hotel is a terrific display of opulent sophistication and old-world elegance. It first opened its doors in 1865 before undergoing a full renovation, ready to welcome guests once again in 1913.

The hotel has retained the sense of traditional class instilled since its founding. In the 128 rooms and suites, antique furnishings and stucco ceilings offer a sense of grandeur, and large windows offer sweeping views of the Bernese Alps.

Vue combines traditional Swiss hospitality with classically modern cuisine, and with large crystal chandeliers, vaulted ceilings and views of the River Aare and the Alps from the terrace, it is the perfect place for a memorable meal. Enjoy a tipple at the hotel bar and lounge – with 99 types of gin on offer, it’s not hard to find your favourite – before heading out to enjoy the beautiful city of Bern.

Relax and unwind in the Finnish sauna or enjoy a session in the gym which looks out across the rooftops of Bern to the old town and the Bernese Alps.
