Famed Swiss skiing capital, Zermatt, is at the foot of Switzerland's highest peaks in the Matter Valley. Rooms and suites use a minimalist approach, with warm materials and classic photos as decoration. Our pick of the range, the Omnia Roof Suite, comes with a Japanese cedar bathtub along with a private sauna. Expect spectacular views of the 4,478 m (14,692 ft) high Matterhorn, the one with the majestic near-symmetric pyramidal peak.

Executive Chef Hauke Pohl is responsible for the food in the 60-seat restaurant that's exclusive to the guests staying here. Authentic Alpine dishes are served made from locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. Nappers will love that right by the restaurant; there is a large sofa with a fireplace to rest after a big dinner. The on-site spa covers all your needs: an indoor/outdoor pool, a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, a caldarium, a petal steam room, a relaxation room, and an outdoor whirlpool with a view of the charming village of Zermatt and the Matterhorn.
