THE OMNIA is USM's Non-Alpine Chic Mountain Lodge in Zermatt

"Located at the foot of the picturesque Matterhorn Mountain, Zermatt is the quintessential Swiss ski resort. When it comes to accommodations, the upscale village is made up of a limited number of luxury chalets and "old Europe" grand palace hotels. With its hyper modernist yet warm design aesthetic, ultra-refined menu, and wellness offering, THE OMNIA is a breath of fresh air, and not just because it perches at 5,209 feet above sea level, a good distance from any smog-filled urban center."

"Owned and operated by renowned Swiss furniture manufacturer USM, the Rock Mountain lodge-inspired address is anything but a folky alpine residence. Rather, it translates the essentialist principles espoused by American modernists (mostly European transplant) like Mies van der Rohe, Raymond Loewy, Vladimir Kagan, and Eero Saarinen, but with warm materials and accents reflective of the surroundings. In THE OMNIA's midst, one finds dense pine forests; primordial rock formations with sculptural dimensions; and everlasting ice peaks."

"The accommodation comes replete with a private sauna, classic yet refined wooden bathtub, and a high-performance Swarovski telescope. Most rooms come with semi-private balconies. The aesthetic carries through to the common areas: an almost Paul Rudolph-esque split-level lobby with library nook; intermediary level sauna and heated pool that extends out to a deck with full Matterhorn view; and lower level restaurant with geometrically cut-"
