Hamburg, 20th November 2012

Andermatt in Central Switzerland develops to regain its position as an international tourism hot spot: construction work at the prime project "Swiss Alps" progresses swiftly – in the next year the first top hotel named "The Chedi" will be inaugurated. This premium hotel, offering only 50 luxury rooms and suites, will cost approximately 299 million Swiss Francs. Its operator will be the international hotel company GHM, Global Hotel Management. According to TOPHOTELPROJECTS (www.tophotelprojects.com), the worldwide leading provider of global b2b hotel data, the second hotel project in the "Andermatt Swiss Alps" will be a Radisson Blu Resort with 217 rooms. Further prestigious hotel operators, among them a well-known lifestyle hotelier, are in negotiations for further upscale hotels.

"The Chedi" (means: temple) will be the new landmark hotel of the entire Resort & Hotel estate "Andermatt Swiss Alps". Besides enjoying the exclusive wellness and spa area, its guests can expect exquisite interior furnishings. The hotel design has been created by the well-known architecture enterprise Denniston International. The 50 apartments and residence will be between 96 to 620 square metres large. In addition to that further 65 apartments, 6 maisonette penthouses, seven lofts, 42 residences as well as 4 suites arise. Several of them have already been sold.

The second hotel project in the pipeline is the Radisson Blu Resort (Operator: Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group). The hotel will feature 217 rooms, including 33 standard hotel rooms. The resort will be designed by the Zurich architects Burkhalter Sumi. 148 million Swiss Francs will be invested in this project. The opening is scheduled for the turn of 2014 and 2015.

"Andermatt Swiss Alps" is a major project run by the Egypt tourism development enterprise Orascom. On a former military estate in the Swiss mountain village Andermatt six new top hotels with 844 rooms and 490 condos, 25 villas as well as a 18-hole golf course are currently under construction. All in all Orascom will invest round about 1,8 billion Swiss Francs.

The official opening of "Andermatt Swiss Alps" is expected for the beginning of the 2013 winter season. The operator expects an occupancy rate of 52 per cent for the first year of operation. Important contracts with the travel businesses TUI and Interhome have already been signed.
