THE ANDERMATT PROJECT
Andermatt is a Swiss resort, based in the heart of
the Alps, near to the Gotthard pass between
Northern Europe and Italy.
Once visited by the likes of Goethe and Queen
Victoria, Andermatt more recently became known for
its military barracks where many Swiss undertook
national service.
The Swiss army in 2005 announced plans to reduce
its presence in the town with the subsequent loss
of income and prospects for the local populace. In
order to combat this decline, the Canton has
embarked on a regeneration project to make
Andermatt once again a top tourist
destination..
The new development in Andermatt will be the
largest of its kind in Switzerland. One million
sq/m of land, at least 5 hotels, 600 apartments,
100 villas, a world-class 18-hole golf course,
alpine skiing, a tropical pool, an ice-rink, a
sports centre and extensive retail
facilities.
Orascom Hotels and Development (OHD) is the master
developer of the resort through its local company
AADC. The resort will be developed into a premium
Alpine destination with a year round tourist
trade.
The location of the Bellevue is in the old town,
opposite the station on the site of the old
Bellevue Hotel.
The Bellevue will be an apart-hotel, consisting of
roughly 100 hotel rooms, 100 apartments,
indoor/outdoor swimming pool, wellness/spa/fitness,
2 restaurants, bar/lounge, ski room and underground
parking. The construction, marketing and operation
of the Bellevue will be jointly managed by a
joint-venture company (The JV) compromising OHD and
Waterford Investments AG (WIAG). The Bellevue Hotel
and apartments are projected to be completed by the
end of 2010. The Bellevue project will be the first
development within the wider scheme.
