A TA L E O F T WO S W I S S Perched 1,649 meters above Zermatt, THE OMNIA feels less like a hotel and more like a sculptural retreat carved into the mountainside. Guests arrive through a stone passage and ascend via a rock-carved elevator into a lobby floating above the town—an introduction to the property's "omnia" philosophy of harmony, storytelling, and nature-driven design. Designed by Ali Tayar, the lodge blends Valais crasmanship with American modernism, using granite, white oak, leather, and felt to create a warm, minimalist aesthetic. Nearly every piece of furniture is custom-made, reinforcing the hotel's belief that everything returns to its origins. Rooms—unnumbered and uniquely styled—feel like private chalets, each with a balcony and many with unobstructed Matterhorn views. A sanctuary of precision and soul, THE OMNIA reimagines the mountain lodge for the modern aesthete and stands as one of Switzerland's most celebrated boutique hotels. THE OMNIA Zerma, Switzerland ere's a certain magic to Switzerland—crystalline air, dramatic peaks, and a standard of luxury not found anywhere else. THE OMNIA in Zermatt and e Chedi Andermatt in the Urseren Valley each interpret that magic through their own lens: one contemporary and sculptural, the other serene and East-meets-Alps. Together, they define the new era of Swiss alpine indulgence. BY JULIAN STERLING ICONS Alpine Sanctuaries 38 VUENJ.COM
