The debut of One&Only Moonlight Basin marks a defining moment for luxury hospitality in North America. As One&Only’s first-ever U.S. property, this design-led resort introduces the brand’s signature refinement to Big Sky, Montana—one of the continent’s most dramatic alpine landscapes.
Located within the private Moonlight Basin community, the resort sits just 15 minutes from Big Sky Resort via road—or a seamless 10-minute ride on One&Only’s private heated gondola—offering a rare blend of privacy, scale, and access.
Early indications position One&Only Moonlight Basin as one of the strongest luxury ski resort hotels in North America, particularly for accommodation quality, dining, family infrastructure, and ski-school access. While select elements will continue to evolve, the foundation is exceptionally strong.
Set within the private Moonlight Basin community in Big Sky, Montana, One&Only Moonlight Basin spans 240 acres and is defined by a sense of scale rarely seen among North American luxury ski resorts. The resort enjoys 360-degree mountain views, overlooking the Spanish Peaks, Lone Mountain, and Fan Mountain, reinforcing its secluded yet cinematic alpine setting.
The architecture and interiors at One&Only Moonlight Basin are led by Olson Kundig, marking the firm’s first true luxury hotel project. The design blends modern mountain architecture with natural materials, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, and a strong indoor–outdoor connection that maximizes light and views. While select residences face less optimal orientations—a common reality during initial resort phases—the overarching design language remains cohesive, intentional, and visually striking.
Across all accommodation types at One&Only Moonlight Basin, the emphasis is on space, natural light, and privacy, aligning with the expectations of travelers seeking a modern, design-forward luxury ski experience in Big Sky.
Designed for travelers who value privacy and architecture as much as ski access, One&Only Moonlight Basin sets a new design benchmark for luxury resorts in Big Sky.
Fly into Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), the primary gateway to Big Sky and One&Only Moonlight Basin. BZN offers year-round nonstop flights from major U.S. hubs including Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta, with additional seasonal routes during peak ski months.
One&Only Moonlight Basin is 50 miles away (45 minutes by road) from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport and sits at a similar distance from the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, making it an ideal base for both ski and nature-focused itineraries.
Ground transportation options include resort-arranged transfers, rental cars, or private services such as Big Sky Country Transport. The drive is typically straightforward, with far less congestion than other major North American ski destinations, even during peak winter travel periods.
One&Only Moonlight Basin offers a diverse range of accommodations, and choosing the right category plays a meaningful role in shaping the overall stay. The resort features a total of 73 alpine-chic hotel rooms and suites, along with 19 standalone cabins, all designed with oversized windows to capture the surrounding mountain landscape.
The resort comprises 73 rooms and suites and 19 freestanding cabins, all offering fireplaces, soaking tubs and floor to ceiling windows framing Lone Peak. For families or groups, four – six bedroom private homes provide expansive, secluded retreats.
Hotel Rooms & Suites
Every guest room and suite features a fireplace, private balcony, luxurious bathrooms with soaking tubs and separate showers, private water closets, daybeds, and a curated minibar featuring local beers, fine spirits, exceptional wines, and gourmet snacks.
The main hotel is composed of three internally connected wings—East Lodge, Main Lodge, and West Lodge—each offering a slightly different experience depending on view orientation and proximity to amenities.
• East Lodge: Currently offers some of the most open and desirable mountain views
• Main Lodge: Known for larger balconies and convenient access to shared spaces
• West Lodge: Home to the Kids Club and pool facilities; guest rooms are expected to open once final approvals are complete
Room categories at One&Only Moonlight Basin include:
The third floor of the Main Lodge can be fully privatized for larger parties, featuring the expansive Big Sky Specialty Suite, an additional One-Bedroom Suite, two King Rooms, and three Queen/Queen Rooms—seamlessly accommodating up to seven bedrooms, including two connecting options.
Layouts emphasize generous bathrooms, clean architectural lines, and thoughtful design rather than maximizing sleeping capacity, making these categories best suited for couples or smaller groups rather than families of four.
All guests at One&Only Moonlight Basin are assigned a dedicated host, with communication handled seamlessly via WhatsApp throughout the stay.
Travelers seeking more space, privacy, or multi-bedroom layouts may find the resort’s cabins and private homes to be a better fit than standard hotel rooms.

These cabins are ideal for travelers seeking additional space, privacy, and a closer connection to the surrounding landscape.
