Boutique Hotel The River House 

300 YEARS OF HISTORY – REIMAGINED
In the heart of Andermatt’s charming village centre, right by the Reuss river, stands a boutique hotel with soul. In this over 300-year-old house, original wood panelling, natural stone and exposed beams meet contemporary design and creative touches.

CHARMING ARCHITECTURE
Lovingly restored with high-quality materials and thoughtful design, the River House is a small architectural gem. It blends history with the present – stylish, simple and authentic.

HOSPITALITY WITH HEART
The hosts focus on personality, atmosphere and genuine connection – for those who seek something special, not the ordinary. Different, and that’s what makes it special.

Sustainability is the utmost priority

Since 2005 with geothermal heating, a vegan menu and a strong local connection – a place that quietly lives its pioneering spirit.

ENERGY-CONSCIOUS FROM DAY ONE
As early as 2005 – long before sustainability became trendy – a geothermal heating system was installed in collaboration with the Canton of Uri. Since then, energy is used mindfully: max. 21°C room temperature, LED lighting, timer systems instead of continuous operation.

A KITCHEN WITH PRINCIPLES
Half of the menu is vegetarian or vegan. Dishes are made with regional ingredients, transparently sourced and full of flavour – with real values and no empty labels.

PART OF THE VILLAGE, NOT APART FROM IT
The hotel is closely connected to the local community: it welcomes residents from nearby retirement homes, supports local business associations and offers its spaces for community events. Hospitality here means connection.

CONSISTENTLY STYLISH
Less show, more substance – for two decades, the River House has lived responsible action with authenticity. Its mix of historical structure, aesthetic clarity and ecological foresight is not a concept – it’s a lived attitude.
