FSMagic: Luxury Travel & Vacations

Hotel Schweizerhof Bern

With its 150-year history the Schweizerhof is the hotel with the richest heritage in Berne. Celebrities like Peter Ustinov, Grace Kelly or Albert Schweitzer stayed here. Following a two-year comprehensive renovation, the hotel shines again and radiates an aura of great history and grand style.

The hotel offers 99 stylish rooms and suites, an 800 sq m conference center with a stunning ballroom, the Jack’s Brasserie restaurant and the sophisticated Lobby-Lounge-Bar, Cigar Lounge, a 500 sq m wellness SPA and the elegant Sky Terrace with a 360° panorama view.

The symbiosis of the traditional with the modern is also reflected in the 99 rooms and suites, where a mixture of French charm and English understatement awaits you. The restored, classic chandeliers bathe the rooms in a harmonious atmosphere, while the bathrooms are urban and contemporary.

The Omnia Zermatt

THE OMNIA is the contemporary interpretation of the traditional mountain lodge. Here in the Swiss Alps, the mountain lodge, a quintessentially American concept, has been reinvented for its European environment by the New York based architect Ali Tayar.

While the materials and the craftsmanship reflect the tradition of the Valais, the furnishings are inspired by a warm, handcrafted modernism. This era in 20th century design is revisited in THE OMNIA in the works of a group of European born, American designers. They include Mies van der Rohe, Raymond Loewy, Vladimir Kagan and Eero Saarinen. Their works are complemented by USM Modular Furniture, which is recognised as a design classic in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. But most of the interior furnishings and fittings are custom-made designs by Ali Tayar, conceived to meet the requirements of the mountain lodge and handcrafted by local cabinet makers.

This subtle interplay between design classics and custom-made products underscores the basic concept of the mountain lodge – THE OMNIA is the fusion of a multitude of different elements and influences to make a single harmonious whole.

THE OMNIA’s beautifully appointed rooms and suites feature warm materials, carefully selected photographs, design classics, Aesop skincare products and unrivalled views of the Matterhorn, the rooftops of the village and swathes of mountain forest.

Backstage Hotel Vernissage

The hotel carries Heinz Julen's signature workmanship throughout and all furnishings are hand crafted in his studio in Zermatt. The six Cube-Lofts are enthusiast pieces, the hip Deluxe and StandART double rooms are creations of contemporary architecture and artistry.

From the first sketches to the concrete and steel work, windows, roof and interior installations, everything was created in the Heinz Julen Atelier in Zermatt. For more than 20 years his sister Vrony has been the co-owner of these holiday rental apartments which Heinz has decorated with modern art.

In autumn 2016, the house infrastructure was updated but the original design was not altered. Starting December 2016, the management of this unique and early work of Heinz Julen has been passed on to his well-known “Backstage Hotel”.

When staying in these apartments, which are located very close to the Klein Matterhorn Lift and about 7 a minute walk from the “Backstage Hotel”, one can enjoy the facilities of the Hotel free of charge- wellness, cinema, transfer to and from the train station, etc. In the summer months, the only heated outdoor swimming pool in Zermatt is available to its guests.
