"A small, upscale boutique hotel with about 30 rooms notable for a dramatic wall of windows framing peak views; it emphasizes personalized service, sustainable dining, comfortable lounge areas with vistas and a refined spa for a luxury mountain stay." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"An understated, contemporary 30-room bolthole built into a mountain with a cave-like entrance that sits in a quiet corner of town and delivers uninterrupted Matterhorn views. Expect designer furnishings from the likes of Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen, a recently refurbished spa with an indoor pool, thermal bath, saunas and steam rooms, and a restaurant focused on hearty-but-healthy, vegetable-forward dishes such as Walliser dumplings with forest mushrooms and dashi and grilled cauliflower with miso Hollandaise and walnuts. The wine list highlights high-altitude varietals from Italy and Switzerland, and a new glass-bottom gondola lift now links the area to Italy over a glacier." - Adam H. Graham
"A lift whisks you up here from the pedestrian area – to some breath-taking views! In the restaurant of the eponymous hotel, the focus lies squarely on vegetarian cuisine. You can nonetheless round out the dishes with "supplements" – these include fish and meat options in addition to plant-based extras. The chic interior is sophisticated, sleek and modern with its large granite-topped tables. Our tip: Enjoy an aperitif by the fireplace." - Michelin Inspector
"Perched on a cliff in the center of Zermatt at over 5,400 feet above sea level, this contemporary take on a mountain lodge is inspired by the surrounding Alps and features handcrafted, custom furnishings from Valais alongside design influences from modernist figures like Mies van der Rohe, Vladimir Kagan and Eero Saarinen. Guests can indulge in an exclusive spa, dine by the restaurant’s open fireplace, curl up in the library, and relax in a wellness whirlpool while enjoying unobstructed views of the Matterhorn." - AFAR
"Built into a mountainside with uninterrupted views of Zermatt and the Matterhorn, The Omnia is a contemporary take on a mountain lodge, envisioned by the late modernist architect Ali Tayar. From below, the glass, metal, and larchwood exterior—and, most strikingly, the slanted roofline—seem to echo the great mountain itself. Entering the hotel is similarly dramatic; from the street, guests walk through a softly lit tunnel to glass elevators, which lift them out of the rock toward the hotel lobby, with dizzying views of the village below. Inside the 30-room property (12 of which are suites), Tayar employed soft, neutral colors to harmonize with the surroundings and create a sense of understated luxury. No two rooms have the same layout, yet all but one have balconies with views. A freestanding fireplace separates the granite-and-leather-accented lobby from a small library stacked with oversize art and design books, while two outdoor terraces are perfect for sipping coffee with views of the Matterhorn. The spa features an outdoor whirlpool, Turkish bath, and steam room as well as an enclosed heated pool that opens to the outdoors through a glass wall on one end."
