If James Bond had a thing for moody lighting and deep bathtubs, he’d stay here. Built into the side of a cliff above Zermatt, The Omnia is reached by a private tunnel and elevator that deposits you into a world of quiet drama and unfussy luxury. Think mid-century lodge meets Alpine modernism, with just enough leather and steel to make it feel cool but not cold.

It’s sleek, grown-up, and deeply restful. The Matterhorn is in view but doesn’t scream for attention. The spa is intimate and excellent, the food is inventive without trying too hard, and the staff has that uncanny way of appearing exactly when you want them.
