The Omnia
Last updated: 18 September, 2022
Zermatt is home to some of the most highly-rated, five-star hotels in the world, and The Omnia is one of the most outstanding.
The location is exceptional – the hotel is perched high on a rocky ledge above the town. Guests enter via a Bond-esque underground tunnel, which leads to panoramic glass elevators that whisks them up to the lobby.
Rooms are sophisticated and spacious, and some boast views of the Matterhorn from their balcony, with more stunning vistas from the indoor-outdoor swimming pool.
