I had the pleasure of staying at the One&Only Moonlight Basin during their opening weekend, after booking rooms for myself and my husband as well as some of our friends and clients (I also moonlight as a travel advisor) under the First Reveal promotion. We have visited several One&Only properties around the world and love the brand - from the hallmark hand-on-heart hospitality, to the beautiful design, sense of place, and thoughtful finishes - a stay at O&O is always memorable in the best possible way. Their first U.S. property absolutely lived up to those expectations. Our room was gorgeous, spacious and intentional in every detail. It was also large enough to have our friends join us for a nightcap or to review plans for the day. The hotel itself is equally stunning, with ample space for every guest to find their own corner to curl up with a book and a blanket or a delicious drink near the fire. Everything we ate was phenomenal, with the standout being our meal at Akira Black. Chef even stopped by our table to chat and enjoy a cheers as we moved between courses. We brought some wine from our own cellar to enjoy as a celebration, but we needn't have bothered as the wine list on site was extensive and exceptional. Our favorite part of the entire property was the Moon Shack (aka the Whiskey Shack) in the woods, where we invariably finished every night. The pictures, charming as they are, don't do the little bar justice. Located out in the woods and only accessible via (heated, luxury) ATVs, the most incredible thing about the Shack is the smell: of the old wood cabin that was shipped in from Idaho alongside the scent of rosemary being torched for a craft cocktail. They should really make a candle. The bar manager Erica, and every bartender we met made us feel welcome, kept the amazing drinks flowing, and shared some of the local lore (Boots the Fox even made an appearance!). The entire staff went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing stay and we can't recommend the hotel, restaurant and bars enough. Can't wait to go back!
