The perfect central base for those who want a cosy modern hotel with a residential and lively vibe.
One&Only Moonlight Basin is blazing a trail when it comes to this beloved brand; it’s not only their debut on US soil, but it’s also their first foray into alpine living. Sprawled between (yet no taller than) the blanket of pines surrounding it, time here is shaped by the seasons; winter sees easy access to the slopes of the iconic Big Sky Resort via the One&Only gondola and adventures like Nordic skiing and fat tire biking, while the hotel itself sticks the landing when it comes to post-slope serenity in the mountain-facing spa.
Come summer, meadows turn from glittering white to shades of green and gold, hosting the likes of wild swimming, hiking, horseback riding and even a round of golf on The Reserve course.
Sitting within a 240-acre expanse laying claim to two private lakes and roamed by moose, elk and eagles, the great outdoors very much takes centre stage around One&Only Moonlight Basin, luring in the nature lovers who are more than willing to surrender to the call.
The wilderness may be in full swing outside, but inside, it's all about slick sophistication. James Bond wouldn’t be out of place walking these halls, passing moody lounges and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the stop-and-stare landscapes on his way to the slopes.
One&Only chose wisely for their first ski-centred outpost – Big Sky’s 5,800 acres are right on the doorstep. While technically not ski-in/ski-out, the brand’s gondola whisks slope-skimmers to the Madison Base area in a swift 5 minutes. From there, a plethora of runs cater to a mixed-ability audience, all of whom congregate for an après tipple at slopeside The Landing restaurant; later retreating to the hotel to snuggle down in suites and standalone cabins that cross Scandi-chic with cabin-cosy.
Adventure fuel is high on the hotel’s priorities, so the cuisine is plentiful and varied. Alongside aforementioned The Landing, Michelin-starred chef (and former pro snowboarder) Akira Back helms his namesake Japanese-style steakhouse, and seasonal farm-to-table delights are served in Wildwood. The promise of a nightcap lingers in the Dear Josephine Lounge with its snug armchairs and crackling fireplaces, but hiding within the forest a short stroll away is the Moon Shack – an intimate speakeasy-inspired bar specialising in fine whiskies and cocktails.
Just an hour’s drive from Moonlight Basin lies a place where thundering herds of bison graze and water erupts from the ground – Yellowstone National Park. Whether in the grips of winter or as the grizzly bears stretch-out from hibernation, guided tours take in natural spectacles like the Old Faithful geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring, as well as the bountiful wildlife that call the park home.

The epitome of effortless skiing and relaxed living, the hotel lies just steps from the foot of an easy green run and the Frostwood Gondola waiting to whisk you to the Canyons village and ski area.
The only ski-in / ski-out hotel in Aspen, this iconic Relais & Châteaux resort stands at the base of Aspen Mountain, next to the Silver Queen Gondola and just steps from the town’s enticing shops and restaurants.
