NZZ am Sonntag Hotel Ratings
"Distinguished Zermatt has one of the best hotels in the 3-Star Superior category," writes the NZZ on Sunday, citing the Hotel Bellerive in its "Five darlings of the editorial staff" hotel ratings in that category. The following can be read:
"The "Bellerive" tempts guests with its individually furnished rooms. A guest immediately feels at home thanks to warm colours and cleverly used design elements - and he or she falls asleep with a view of the Matterhorn. The regional breakfast buffet is extensive, the service charming.”
The Omnia also made it into the NZZ am Sonntag Hotel Ratings. In the “small but impressive” category, this 5-star hotel found a home as the property ranked fifth:
"The hotel, whose 30 rooms have no numbers, boasts a Whirlpool with a view of the Matterhorn, a modern design, and 15 GaultMillau points."

| 3rd place: The Omnia |
| 5th place: Mont Cervin Palace |
| Four-star hotels |
| 1st place: Parkhotel Beau Site |
| 4th place: Europe Hotel & Spa |

The Parkhotel Beau Site as well as the Hotel Bellerive both even finished first in their categories. Trivago wrote about both of these award winners:
Parkhotel Beau Site: "A spacious and uncomplicated 4-star hotel for connoisseurs, recreational athletes and families in a central and quiet location in Zermatt. The warmth of the guests and hosts as well as the loyalty to the house of both sides give the Beau Site this unique and informal flair."
Hotel Bellerive: "Originally mixed with modern styles. Outside, a Valias façade of old wood; inside, modern, homelike and with loving attention to detail."
