The Omnia is a luxury hospitality destination in Zermatt, Switzerland, that combines traditional Swiss alpine culture with contemporary design and cultural programming. The property emphasizes the relationship between natural environment, cultural experience, and hospitality while creating spaces for art, music, and cultural exchange. The Omnia's approach to hospitality emphasizes sensory experience and cultural engagement as essential elements of luxury travel. The hotel is owned by Alexander Schärer, a member of the family that owns USM, the renowned Swiss modular furniture company, and USM's signature steel furniture features prominently throughout the hotel's interior design. Perched on a rock plateau 45 meters above Zermatt's village center, the property is accessed through a tunnel and elevator that brings guests directly to the lobby, creating a unique arrival experience that sets the tone for this contemporary mountain lodge designed by New York architect Ali Tayar.
